FantasyPros Articles on David Montgomery
From the article
David Montgomery was a volume monster in Week 1 as the RB5 in fantasy. He finished with 23 touches, 79 total yards, and three scores. He played 57.5% of the snaps, handled all five of the team's red zone carries... Montgomery could find more running room in Week 2 against a Cincy run defense that allowed the fifth-highest rushing success rate and yards after contact per attempt.
STACKED’s take
Montgomery's volume and red zone role should translate to strong Week 2 production against Cincinnati's weak run defense
Montgomery was a volume monster in Week 1 as RB5 with 23 touches, 79 total yards, and three scores on 57.5% snap share; he handled all five red zone carries and had 42.9% route share with 7.9% target share (three targets). While not immensely efficient (18th in success rate and missed tackle rate among 33 qualifying backs), he had the 10th-fewest yards before contact per attempt, suggesting offensive line issues. Cincinnati's run defense allowed the fifth-highest rushing success rate and yards after contact per attempt while having the 11th-lowest stuff rate in Week 1, positioning Montgomery for more running room in Week 2.
