Lions | Detroit's dynamic RB duo excelling after contact Wed Dec 27, 01:07 PM
Detroit Lions RBs Jahmyr Gibbs (2.2) and David Montgomery (2.0) rank first and tied for second, respectively, in the league among qualified rushers in average yards after contact, according to Pro Football Reference.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery is an efficient runner with a blend of vision and instincts. Gibbs is a speed demon who can flat-out fly. Both backs are good at keeping their feet after contact, and that makes them a dangerous duo because they're tough to bring down. |

Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery rushed for 55 yards and one touchdown on 17 carries against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16. He also caught two passes for 14 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: The Vikings run defense contained Montgomery, but he did score early to made for a solid result for fantasy teams that counted on him. With Jahmyr Gibbs emerging and taking some goal line work, Montgomery is a strong RB2, but still only an RB2 for Week 17 at Dallas. |

Lions | David Montgomery plowing through defenders Wed Nov 22, 02:59 AM
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery ranks second among qualified rushers by averaging a broken tackle every 8.4 rush attempts, according to Pro Football Reference.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery missed time with a rib injury earlier this year, but he's come back and looked like his former self. A big part of his game is what he can do after contact. Montgomery does a good job of keeping his feet, and he will fight relentlessly for extra yards. |

Lions | David Montgomery practices on Tuesday Tue Nov 7, 02:26 PM
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (ribs) took part in the team's padded practice on Tuesday, Nov. 7.
| Footballguys view: The Lions are on the road against the Chargers in Week 10. While Montgomery has been out of action, rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs has been producing at a high level. We'll see how the touches are split between the two upon Montgomery's return. With what Gibss has done and can do, he's earned a larger role than he had earlier this year when Montgomery was getting most of the work. |

Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (ribs) is 'looking good' to return in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to head coach Dan Campbell on Monday, Nov. 6.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs should be looking forward to Montgomery's return. According to Campbell, rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs will "get his fair share" even when splitting time with Montgomery. We'll see how the split goes, but earlier this year it was about 60/40 in favor of the veteran. |

Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (ribs) 'continues to improve' as he attempts to return from the rib injury he suffered in Week 6, according to head coach Dan Campbell. However, Montgomery will not practice on Thursday, Oct. 26.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery is not practicing on Thursday as the Lions prepare to face the Raiders on Monday night in Week 8. He's got more time to recover, and that means rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs has RB2 with upside value for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (rib) left the Week 6 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first half due to a rib injury. He is considered questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: Craig Reynolds will replace him as the lead back. Hopefully Jahmyr Gibbs will be ready to play next week after sitting out two games with a hamstring injury. More of the offense will run through Jared Goff vs. Baltimore next week while this backfield is banged up. |

Lions | David Montgomery runs wild at Lambeau Fri Sep 29, 12:19 AM
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (thigh) carried the ball 32 times for 121 yards and three touchdowns against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, Sept. 28. He added a pair of receptions on two targeted balls for 20 yards.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery showed no ill effects from the thigh injury that cost him Week 3, and the game script was ideal as the Lions defense is firming up and helped spot the team a huge lead that Montgomery and the running game nursed in the second half. Montgomery is a borderline RB1 with the Lions playing this well on both sides of the ball and looking like one of the biggest values in 2023 fantasy drafts. |

Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (thigh) appears to be on the right track to play in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers, according to comments from head coach Dan Campbell on Tuesday, Sept. 26.
| Footballguys view: The Lions play against the Packers on Thursday night. Montgomery could be back out there as their lead back, but the Lions should still mix things up with an RBBC featuring rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs as well. When Montgomery returns, Craig Reynolds should get a smaller role. |
