David Montgomery Expected To Take Over Goal-Line Carries
1 year agoThe Detroit Lions gave running back David Montgomery a three-year, $18 million deal this offseason, but they also took rookie Jahmyr Gibbs with the 12th overall pick in the draft. The Athletic's Colton Pouncy writes that Montgomery is expected to take over the goal-line carries in one of the league's best offenses, while Gibbs is expected to play some slot receiver in addition to RB. If Gibbs stays healthy, he has the potential to develop into the fantasy star that D'Andre Swift never became due to injuries. Both Gibbs and Montgomery have standalone fantasy appeal on a weekly basis in this new and improved Lions offense, with the youngster Gibbs having the higher upside, especially in PPR leagues.
