David Montgomery Fantasy

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery finished with 14 carries for only 31 yards during the loss to the Rams on Sunday night. He also managed to catch a single pass for 19 yards but was outperformed in all areas by Tarik Cohen, who finished with more receiving and rushing yards, while also recording a touchdown. With this one in the books, Montgomery, who was nursing an ankle issue coming into this one, will hopefully be 100 percent for a showdown with the Giants in Week 12.

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (ankle) is officially active for Sunday Night Football. Montgomery missed practice most of the week with an ankle injury and was listed as a game-time decision. He looked good enough in a limited Friday practice and in pre-game warmups to keep himself off the inactive list. He remains a risky play in fantasy lineups due to the possibility of limited snaps or an in-game injury aggravation. Tarik Cohen would benefit from any time Montgomery misses.

Chicago Bears rookie running back David Montgomery (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 11 against the Rams on Sunday night. The limited practice suggests Montgomery should be able to play, but he could be a true game-time decision on Sunday night. Already facing a tough matchup on the ground against LA's defensive front, Montgomery just became an extremely risky low-end RB2. Even if Montgomery suits up, Tarik Cohen's role could easily be expanded for this one. If Montgomery sits, Coke will have RB2 upside. You'll need to have a backup plan if you plan to take it to the wire with Montgomery this weekend.
