David Montgomery Fantasy

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery carried the ball 20 times for 61 yards and added 18 receiving yards in the Bears 20-17 win over the Bengals in Week 2. Montgomery again played hard-nosed football and picked up several first downs after first contact. He didn't find the end zone but 23 touches (three receiving, 20 carries) is a step in the right direction to solidify his floor moving forward in fantasy.

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will take on a Bengals defense that allowed the eighth most fantasy points to opposing runners last season. Montgomery started off his 2021 campaign with a bang, busting a 41-yard run on the Bears first drive against the Rams. The third-year back went on to rack up 108 yards on 16 carries with a touchdown and showed an excellent blend of speed and toughness. The Bengals defense last season allowed 11 different running backs to post at least 80 rushing yards against them, providing a glimpse of a high floor fantasy wise for the Bears running back. Montgomery will be a rock-solid RB2 selection for Week 2.

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery carried the ball 16 times for 108 yards with one touchdown and 10 receiving yards in the team's blowout loss to the Rams in Week 1. Montgomery injected a jolt into the offense on the first drive, popping a 41-yard run to set up a red zone opportunity. The third-year running back left the game briefly to attend to a finger injury but returned to pick up some hard yards throughout the game. Montgomery showed a little extra burst in the open field and still brought his hard-nose approach to running between the tackles. The Bears offense looked very shaky Week 1 but Montgomery was the lone bright spot.
