David Montgomery Fantasy

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery is expected to not play in the final two preseason games. The rookie made an impressive debut in the first exhibition game but did not suit up against the Giants last Friday. It appears the coaching staff has seen enough to know they need Montgomery healthy when the bell rings in Week 1. While he is not expected to dominate the carries right out of the gate, Montgomery has the talent to become the main threat in the backfield by season's end. The rookie will carry plenty of RB2/3 value heading into fantasy drafts as long as fantasy owners can be patient with the early returns as he earns the starting role in Chicago.

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery could see more snaps Friday against the Giants in the Bears second preseason game. Montgomery flashed what makes him so tantalizing as a fantasy prospect, totaling 46 yards from scrimmage with a touchdown in limited playing time in the Bears first preseason game. Coach Matt Nagy is building a reputation of sitting most of his starters for most, if not all, of the preseason. But Montgomery is a rookie and must earn his stripes. The rookie could be in line for anywhere between 5-10 touches Friday against the Giants.

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery caught three passes, racked up 46 total yards and added a touchdown in the Bears preseason loss to the Panthers. Montgomery didn't see a ton of snaps but took full advantage of his touches. The rookie flashed the quickness that made him such a coveted prospect for the Bears and made some nice catches in traffic. Montgomery then made an excellent cut to the left and slashed his way into the end zone for his first taste of professional pay dirt. He may not see a lot of action in the preseason but Montgomery is an intriguing fantasy player on the rise.
