Draft note

by John Paulsen

In an effort to become less predictable, the Bears traded away Jordan Howard and signed Mike Davis (34 catches last year in a part-time role with the Seahawks) before drafting Montgomery in the third round. Montgomery was reportedly “a problem” for the Bears’ defense in spring workouts and led “the rookies, if not the entire team” in big plays this offseason. HC Matt Nagy praised Montgomery’s route-running and said that the team knew he had “great hands.” Montgomery is the clear favorite to lead the team in carries, though he’ll have to deal with Tarik Cohen if he hopes to have a major role as a pass-catcher. One thing to note: When I studied "trade up" running backs earlier in the offseason, I found that third round "trade up" running backs outscored their counterparts by 54% in their rookie seasons.

Bears Beat: RB David Montgomery has looked like a rookie

NBC Sports Chicago

Oct 08 · 6:16 PM EDT

David Montgomery deserves some of the blame for the running game's struggles. He ranks 71st among running backs on Pro Football Focus this season with a 58.6 grade. He's looked very much like a rookie runner at times, lacking patience and making one move (usually a spin move) too many.

Related players: Tarik Cohen, Mike Davis

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Monty is averaging just 3.3 yards per carry but it's not all his fault. The O-line hasn't been good at all. The story suggested the Bears could go to Cohen more, thanks to his ability to get more out of a play at times, something they did early against the Raiders but that was likely because they fell behind early. The story also seems to think Davis isn't much of an upgrade and Monty will continue to get his chances. The hope for owners is the bye week allows the Bears to figure some things out in the run game. Montgomery is hopefully a better RB option coming out of the bye for Week 7.

CHI RB David Montgomery - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. New Orleans Saints

David Montgomery is Chicago's primary backfield option and he's emerged as a decent fantasy option. He struggled against the Raiders in Chicago's last outing, rushing 11 times for 25 yards, but he was able to score for the second time this season. Before that game, though, he averaged about 60 yards per game on the ground with a few receptions sprinkled in. Expect that type of performance this week in a tough matchup against the Saints. He should be viewed as a low-end RB2 or a strong flex play in Week 7.
