From the article

Montgomery (28.9 points) didn't have a very efficient day running the ball against the Bills front (3.0 YPC), but the red zone usage boosted his fantasy profile. Montgomery scored twice on red zone carries (one on the goal line), and he was targeted on a schemed throw from quarterback C.J. Stroud to find the end zone.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Montgomery's red zone usage and two TDs support touchdown-dependent RB2 role.

Montgomery scored 28.9 points despite inefficient rushing (3.0 YPC against the Bills front), but red zone usage boosted his fantasy profile. He scored twice on red zone carries (one on the goal line) and was targeted on a schemed throw from quarterback C.J. Stroud to find the end zone. Bowen projects him as a touchdown-dependent RB2 for Week 2 against the Bengals.
