Who should I start for Week 13? Fantasy football outlooks for David Montgomery, D'Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson. Our expert fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks.
Thanksgiving football kicks off with a matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions.
This NFC North matchup should be a competitive contest despite the Bears being in last place in the division while the Lions have the best record in the NFC.
More importantly, there are several fantasy football running backs in this game. Should fantasy players start David Montgomery, D'Andre Swift, or Roschon Johnson? Let’s break it down.
Should I Start David Montgomery For Fantasy Football?
Montgomery suffered a shoulder injury last week against the Indianapolis Colts. However, the star running back is on track to play against the Bears. He has been a touchdown machine this season, totaling 11 rushing scores. The veteran has had at least one rushing touchdown in all but two games, scoring four times over the past three weeks.

Fantasy players should feel confident starting Montgomery in Week 13. The Bears have given up one rushing touchdown and 25.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game to running backs over the past four weeks. Expect a solid fantasy performance from Montgomery against his former team.
Should I Start D'Andre Swift For Fantasy Football?
Similarly, Swift faces his former team on Thanksgiving. It is the first time the star running back will face the team that drafted him. He is the RB18 for the year, averaging 12.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Swift has five rushing touchdowns this season, totaling every score over the past eight contests.

Unfortunately, the veteran has an unfriendly matchup against the Lions. Detroit has held running backs to 14.7 fantasy points per game this year, the third-fewest in the NFL. Furthermore, they’ve given up only 65 rushing yards and 8.6 fantasy points to running backs over their past two weeks.
Should I Start Roschon Johnson For Fantasy Football?
While Swift is Chicago’s lead running back, Johnson is the team’s goal-line specialist. The second-year pro has six rushing touchdowns, a team-high. Yet, he has only 48 rushing attempts this season. The former Texas star has found the end zone in back-to-back games.
Touchdown Roschon Johnson!

Johnson is the RB41, averaging 6.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, totaling double-digits only twice. Fantasy players in deeper leagues can start the second-year pro as a touchdown-or-bust running back in Week 13.
