"

There is no doubt that Jahmyr Gibbs is the clear starter. David Montgomery however is a touchdown machine and a powerful runner. Probably the last year he is fantasy effctive, but double digit touchdowns are fantasy gold.

"

Jason Wood

"The delta between him and Jahmyr Gibbs is widening, but the role and goal-line touches keep him relevant."

Matt Waldman

RB19

"

Montgomery is the running back version of a mudder in horse racing: Conditions with the offensive line can get ugly and Montgomery can still make out ok. The loss of Center Frank Ragnow could muddy the rushing lanes more than we've seen in Detroit during the Dan Campbell era, but Montgomery has the skills to handle it.

As has been the case, if Jahmyr Gibbs falters, Montgomery could have a fantasy RB1 value.

"

He's 28 and sharing time or I'd have him higher, but he's as dependable and consistent as a fantasy running back comes and I don't expect that to change with the coaching turnover in the D.
