Yahoo Sports NFL on David Montgomery

Montgomery's 23 touches vs. Marks' 10 creates safe fantasy value despite modest YPC.

Montgomery only averaged three yards a carry but plunged in for two touchdowns and added a third on a reception in Week 1. The source says 'Montgomery's fantasy success is probably about opportunity over raw talent, given the stage of his career. But with Houston's defense likely to control most outcomes — it didn't stop Buffalo's offense but it will stop other teams — Monty has a very safe path to touches. He handled 23 opportunities Sunday, compared to a modest 10 for Woody Marks. That ratio should make Montgomery a fantasy value.'
