David Montgomery's Stock Is Down
2 years agoChicago Bears running back David Montgomery had 1,150 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns last year, but it was a drop in production after he finished fifth in scrimmage yards (1,508) with 10 touchdowns in 2020. Montgomery could be looking at similar numbers or worse in 2022 with Khalil Herbert expected to get carries as well. He's in the final year of his rookie contract, but Herbert's style of running fits the outside-zone scheme that the Bears are installing this year. Rookie Trestan Ebner and Darrynton Evans have also had good moments in training camp and the preseason. The 25-year-old Montgomery also had a mediocre 3.8 yards per carry on a career-low 225 carries in 2021, and his fantasy stock continues to fall as an RB2 heading into the 2022 season.
