From the article

Montgomery should be in lineups this week following his three-TD performance in Week 1, but beware that we likely just saw his best performance of the season. The three scores bailed out some rough efficiency, as he totaled only 60 yards on the 20 rushing attempts (3.0 YPC). Montgomery is the team's clear lead rusher and goal-line option, which will keep him in the RB2/flex mix, but it's unlikely he'll do much in the passing game.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Montgomery's three TDs likely his ceiling; poor efficiency and limited passing work cap upside.

Montgomery's Week 1 three-TD performance (37 snaps, 20 carries, 12 routes, three targets, 60 yards on 20 carries for 3.0 YPC) likely represents his best output of the season; efficiency was poor despite the scoring. He's the clear lead rusher and goal-line option but unlikely to contribute in passing game (hasn't cleared 36 catches since 2021), keeping him in RB2/flex range but with limited upside.
