David Montgomery Week 3 Outlook - Lions at Cardinals

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 19th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Montgomery is the RB14 in fantasy, averaging 42% of the snaps with 16.5 touches and 81.5 total yards per game. Among 40 qualifying backs, he is ninth in missed tackles forced per attempt and 18th in yards after contact per attempt. He faces what appears to be a tough run defense for Arizona through two games. The Cardinals have allowed the 10th-lowest missed tackle rate and the fifth-lowest explosive run rate and yards after contact per attempt. Montgomery likely needs a touchdown to pay off in fantasy this week.
