Spyplane 1,583 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I don't believe in this guy. Talent should be shining through sometimes despite the bad offensive line. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ponchsox 1,800 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 This situation stinks. He’s an RB3 at best. More like a bye week filler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Foppatosakic 184 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Patterson has been fazed out, this guy will be the most boring set and forget RB2 all year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Mick 138 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Despite his low upside he is still RB18 in ESPN PPR. You just have to know what you're getting into before you hop on the DMont train. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven’t watched him this year but I know he’s the three down back so I will take the chance on that. He"ll get you 10 points a week in .5ppr. This guy dances in the backfield every single time. He does this hopstep looking for a hole with a terrible offensive line. Not a recipe for success. The Bears also lost their best lineman, James Daniels. Hes not gonna win you any weeks, but hes a good flex. Last game the Bears were 1st and goal from the 2. After getting denied twice DMont against a s---y run defense, Foles sneaked it in. Bears need O-Line so bad I hope they trade for some Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One cut and go would be nice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LongBalls 1,193 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Yes he's a bit of a plodder, but he's pretty much a lock for 20+ touches per game, including probably 5-7 targets. He also has one of the best schedules for a fantasy RB for the rest of the season; possibly the single best schedule, actually.

KennyWoo 3,319 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Volume is king. From my pre-Week 6 RB Rankings write up: 16. Montgomery. Look at the depth chart behind this guy. This is a team that is going to be committed to the run and now will use Montgomery more in the passing game with Cohen laid up. Talent is questionable to be sure but the Bears are going to be in most games and using him as a lead back. The guy was on the field 85% and 81% of snaps the last two games. Those are "alpha dog" numbers. And yes, if you're looking for volume at an undervalued price right now, go seek out the Montgomery owner. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He broke 15 carries once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's tied for 14th in carries and he's 8th in targets among RBs this season. And he has 17 targets in the last 3 games (the games after Cohen got hurt). The volume is there, and will continue to be. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I’m concerned he needs to be a lot higher than 14th considering he is in arguably the worst run scheme in the entire league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ponchsox 1,800 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 This guy doesn't break any long runs. Good to see people view him rather highly, I might try and shop him around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not the best sample group to gauge value. It's like eBay when you see an item for sale for $100 but then when you look at what items sold for and it's actually $30. There is a lot of value in a team trusting the back and him having no real competition for that lead role. The fact that he has a great defense so the team is competitive is also a huge plus. I don't think he is going to ever get you 50 points and win a week but he has a steady floor and I could see a few multi TD games in his future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ZappB 656 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Montgomery is like the Anti-Kamara. Lots of touches, zero efficiency. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UVA_Drew 1,283 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Just now, ZappB said: Montgomery is like the Anti-Kamara. Lots of touches, zero efficiency. Agreed. And it’s not even a huge knock against him as a player. He’s certainly no world-beater, but that Bear oline does him no favors. Rams were in his grill at the LOS every single run. Combine that with Foles getting worse by the week, and Nagy’s vanilla play calling, and they’ve managed to cap any upside whatsoever. Just happy he got a few garbage time dump-offs to save the day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benjamin1984 563 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 There's just nothing you can do about it. Yards per carry be darned he's a pretty locked in mid range RB2. He's one of the safer ones too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
