David Montgomery Fantasy

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery said that the team's running attack will be better in 2020 after they ranked 27th in the NFL with 1,458 rushing yards in 2019. They were also 28th in rushing touchdowns (eight) and 29th with 3.7 yards per rushing attempt. Of the 20 players in the NFL with at least 200 carries last year, only Le'Veon Bell averaged less than Montgomery's 3.67 yards per carry. Montgomery said he's a lot more confident heading into Year 2 and knows the offense. Despite last year's disappointment, the 22-year-old shouldn't have to worry about pass-catching back Tarik Cohen eating too much into his early down and short-yardage carries. Target Montgomery as a low-end RB2/high-end RB3 with plenty of room for improvement in his sophomore season.

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace thinks running back David Montgomery can be the team's featured running back and carry a bigger workload in his sophomore season in 2020. That is if the Bears decide to run more next season. Montgomery was pretty average in his rookie campaign, rushing 242 times for 889 yards and six touchdowns on 3.7 yards per carry. There's obviously room for improvement if the 22-year-old sees more of a workload in 2020, but the quarterback situation in Chicago could hold Montgomery and the offense as a whole back. Montgomery will be more of an RB3 entering fall drafts.

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery racked up 113 rushing yards with one touchdown in the team's 21-19 win over the Vikings. The rookie ran hard throughout the game and single-handedly took over the third quarter with 57 rushing yards and a score. The Bears running game has struggled all season but Montgomery has flashed his slippery ability to pick up yards after first contact this year. Montgomery finishes the season with 185 receiving yards, 889 rushing yards with six touchdowns and will be a player on the rise heading into the offseason.
