they just guarantee that he's got the early down roll, he's got the goal line role, that the defense is great. Worst absolute worst case scenario is obviously he was hurt, but you can say that for anyone. if he doesn't get hurt and he stayed very healthy throughout his career. Uh worst case scenario is that he like returns or slightly exceeds value... I really just think even if he gets unlucky this season, you're getting a great season for him... even though I don't think Dave Montgomery can be maybe a top seven running back I think he can easily be like a low-end one and for where you get him that's going to be awesome value.

STACKED’s take

Guaranteed early down and goal line role with great defense; worst case is returning or slightly exceeding value; can easily be low-end RB1 and represents awesome value where he's being drafted.
