There is no doubt that Jahmyr Gibbs is the clear starter. David Montgomery however is a touchdown machine and a powerful runner. Probably the last year he is fantasy effective, but double digit touchdowns are fantasy gold.

The delta between him and Jahmyr Gibbs is widening, but the role and goal-line touches keep him relevant.

Montgomery is the running back version of a mudder in horse racing: Conditions with the offensive line can get ugly and Montgomery can still make out ok. The loss of Center Frank Ragnow could muddy the rushing lanes more than we've seen in Detroit during the Dan Campbell era, but Montgomery has the skills to handle it. 

As has been the case, if Jahmyr Gibbs falters, Montgomery could have a fantasy RB1 value.

Jahmyr Gibbs will take another step in year three, and Ben Johnson’s absence will affect secondary players like Montgomery more than the stars. I'm lower on Montgomery than the market.

Montgomery will assuredly maintain a role in this offense, but it’s hard to expect much leftover after Jahmyrr Gibbs gets his deserved share.

He's 28 and sharing time or I'd have him higher, but he's as dependable and consistent as a fantasy running back comes and I don't expect that to change with the coaching turnover in the D.
