I know that fantasy points against says that they are, but in their last 4 games they’ve faced: Aaron Jones/Williams Cook Saquon Jacobs Football outsiders has them ranked as the #18 run defense, so middle of the road. I can’t fully vouch for the accuracy of their rating system, but it supposedly takes into account strength of opponent. I’m not saying Monty shouldn’t be expected to put up a nice day, I’m just trying to vet this. I drafted Monty based on RW and analyst hype in the first place, so I’m skeptical. they allow the most ppr ppg to opposing running attacks, that has nothing to do with real foosball stats, as you cited ... i'm talking strictly magick foosball points yielded, and they are the worst in that metric.

aapox 896 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 There’s no guarantees in football or fantasy, but it’s about as good of an outlook as can be that they’re gonna try to rely on this guy down the stretch. Mitch has shown he still has the talent but his mind and confidence are shot right now. Unfortunately that probably means stacked boxes and the low YPC will continue. The good news is that Montgomery has lived up to his billing as a tough runner and gets every single yard available and more on most runs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like a game for Nagy to decide to give Cohen 15 touches. Just sayin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's a really good route runner, and despite one really bad drop, he has great hands. If we can get 12-15 carries and 3-5 targets per game, along with goal line work, he's a solid RB2 ROS. Considering he was utterly worthless earlier this season, this is great progress. After being lauded for his receiving ability during the preseason it's baffling it took this long to get him more involved in the passing game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SadFaceHappy 2,049 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Is it possible Nagy is finally realizing that Trubisky sucks, and that he might actually get fired? I do not trust that man Quote Link to post Share on other sites

umphrey 209 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Now that everyone is getting confident again, sounds like it's about time to go back to his roots and a 50 to 5 pass / run ratio 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even when they've played they haven't looked very good this year, and Daniels has barely even played at all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mingalicious 41 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Monty owners. Do you guys feel like he is an RB worth trading for? He has one of the easiest schedules for the palyoffs. Is he trending in the right direction or have the TDs just been his saving grace lately? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When fully healthy the Lions won't be a red carpet for RBs. Daniels is more of a pass rusher anyway so he won't impact DM a ton. The two key run-stuffers on the Lions are Harrison and A'Shawn Robinson. Harrison has been sub-par and/or injured all season, he will play but won't be 100%. Robinson is healthy but has been just okay. The return of Da'Shawn Hand helps the line but he's hurt again, too. For reasons unexplainable, the Lions have a serious inability to stop the run this season. You look at the personnel and think they should be at least top half against the run, but they just stink. Coaching on the defensive side simply refuses to make any adjustments and keeps rolling out the same ineffective scheme every week (no pressure, drop everyone back, give the QB all the time he needs, running lanes aplenty). Montgomery should have a big game on Sunday and I say this as someone who accurately predicted his poor year thus far. If I owned I'd be firing up no problem. I'm using him in DFS. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Bears O-line is bad, but Monty, Cohen, ARob, Miller, and Gabriel are all being wasted in a historically incompetent offense. I don't even know how they turn it around at this point. Chase Daniel would probably help, which maybe the saddest thing I've ever typed. I cannot fathom how people still think the problem is Trubisky. It's Nagy. It's Nagy. It's Nagy. It's Nagy. It's Nagy.

He has one of the easiest schedules for the palyoffs. Is he trending in the right direction or have the TDs just been his saving grace lately? Go look at his touches and yards the past 2 weeks. He had 40 rushing and 36 receiving last week after virtually nothing in the first half. Fantasy analysts saying he was “saved” by his 2 TDs are clueless. 76 yards is not a great game but it’s not going to kill you without a TD. I’ve been worried about Monty all year until last game where he showed he’s likely to be a solid RB2 rest of year. Just remember that this offense can go nowhere quick so his floor is still low. I’d buy before the price is, presumably, too high for the rest of the year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
