weepaws 2,418 Posted November 18, 2020 Based on his points per game avg, in non ppr , he’s a low rb3. If he was to become available I would pick him up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted November 18, 2020 Or you could pick up Cam Akers, and get about the same production. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobSanders_33 127 Posted November 18, 2020 Horrid offense. Horrible offensive line. Multiple injuries this year. Essentially had the backfield to himself and didn't produce. What's not to like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedzoneMonster 102 Posted November 18, 2020 He’s a RB you should trade for if: The Monty owner has at least 2 other better RBs and a real need for WR. You REALLY need a RB and have a deep WR corp and u can trade one away that u won’t miss. That’s the only way I’d take a chance on Monty. Schedule is great, but man that offense looks putrid. Can’t move the ball at all, and Trubisky likely back as starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,418 Posted November 18, 2020 Montgomery avg 8 points per game non ppr, Akers 4, I’ll pick up Montgomery if he was to become available Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loonecho 19 Posted November 18, 2020 If you buy low on Montgomery, you are actually buying at face value. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easilyscan 545 Posted November 18, 2020 I shouldn't have included the 'Buy Low' in the thread title. Wasn't saying anyone should buy, just pointing out that if someone happened to be in one of the leagues where he's available, & needed to fill a flex position, because of his upcoming schedule, it might be worth picking him up.

Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted November 19, 2020 I have montgomery and he's a wasted roster space. chicago is awful and montgomery has to be one of the worst starting RBs in the league. Definitely one of the least explosive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's another case. One that makes a team look 'better' than they actually are. Because of awful weather in their last 2 games, opposing QBs had these #'s against the Browns. Week 8 Raiders. Carr 111 yards & one TD Week 10 Texans. Watson 163 yds & 1 TD This makes their pass D look more formidable than it actually is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

da browns 10 Posted November 20, 2020 I have Monty and had to play him with Chubb and Gaskin injured. I'm keeping him "just in case". But, I wouldn't go out of my way to acquire him with other #2 backs available who score more (like Edmonds) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,418 Posted November 21, 2020 Wouldn’t go out of my way to get him either, but if he’s drop, I have some one I can let go for a rb3. N Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoOnAtIk 75 Posted November 23, 2020 He’s small, slow, not very athletic IMO. He went to a small school. I’m not sure why anyone, including the bears, were ever high on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easilyscan 545 Posted November 30, 2020 I passed on Montgomery, picked up Mostert instead. My opponent for week 12 picked up Montgomery & is playing him against me tonight. I have a huge lead, but anything is possible in FF. So we'll soon find out if I was onto something, or on something when I kinda/sorta recommended him.

SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted November 30, 2020 Nagy might rival Gase for former players who perform once they escape his clutches. Montgomery will find success elsewhere. Still crazy that the heirs of Halas are this clueless about football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
