Lions' David Montgomery: Long TD run in primetime win
David Montgomery rushed six times for 60 yards and a touchdown while bringing in his only target for 13 yards in the Detroit Lions' 44-30 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.Montgomery logged his fourth consecutive single-digit carry tally, but he produced his best yardage total over that span by far with a big hand from his impressive 35-yard touchdown run up the middle in the latter portion of the second quarter. The veteran back crossed the 600-yard mark on the ground for the season as well with Thursday's production, and he's recorded a rushing score in consecutive games heading into a Week 15 road matchup against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Lions' David Montgomery: Gets back into end zone in loss
David Montgomery carried the ball eight times for 32 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for 16 yards in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers. He also threw an incomplete pass.The second-quarter TD was Montgomery's sixth of the season, but his first since Week 9, as Jahmyr Gibbs had produced Detroit's last four rushing touchdowns. Montgomery has been more clearly the No. 2 option in the Detroit Lions' backfield this season as opposed to a 1B behind Gibbs, but he's still delivered 543 rushing yards in 12 games along with a 20-151-0 line on 24 targets. Montgomery will look to get into the end zone in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 2 and 3 in a Week 14 matchup against the Cowboys.

David Montgomery carried the ball five times for 18 yards and caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-27 overtime win over the Giants.The veteran back failed to reach 40 scrimmage yards for the second straight game, but Montgomery simply wasn't needed much on a day in which Jahmyr Gibbs erupted for 264 scrimmage yards and three totals TDs.

Lions' David Montgomery: Held to 37 total yards
David Montgomery rushed the ball six times for 27 yards in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Eagles. He added one reception on one target for 10 yards.Montgomery was limited due to game script, as the Detroit Lions possessed the ball for only 24:12 of game time. That led to only his second performance with single-digit touches this season and his second-lowest yardage output of the campaign. While Montgomery will continue to hold a meaningful role in the Detroit offense behind Jahmyr Gibbs, the former's fantasy value is primarily dependent on him finding the end zone.

He also lost a fumble.Montgomery outpaced Jahmyr Gibbs by two carries and was the only one of the two to get into the end zone, doing so via a two-yard run early in the second quarter. The veteran back also short-circuited a drive in the third quarter, however, as he lost a fumble that was recovered by the Vikings at the Lions' 34-yard line and led to a Minnesota touchdown five plays later.

Lions' David Montgomery: Overshadowed by Gibbs on MNF
David Montgomery was held to 21 yards on 13 carries while catching two of three targets for 18 yards in Monday's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.Jahmyr Gibbs went off for 218 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on Monday Night Football, leaving scraps for Montgomery's fantasy managers in Week 7. The latter still received 15 touches, highlighting his continued involvement in Detroit's two-pronged backfield. Both talented rushers have recorded a game with 100-plus yards this season, with Gibbs having the edge in total yards (+269) and touchdowns (+3). Montgomery may not be as tantalizing an asset as Gibbs, but he should continue providing flex value in fantasy when the Detroit Lions resume play Week 9.
