David Montgomery was a volume monster in Week 1 as the RB5 in fantasy. He finished with 23 touches, 79 total yards, and three scores. He played 57.5% of the snaps, handled all five of the team's red zone carries... Montgomery could find more running room in Week 2 against a Cincy run defense that allowed the fifth-highest rushing success rate and yards after contact per attempt in Week 1 while also having the 11th-lowest stuff rate.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Montgomery's elite volume and red zone role support RB1 projection against Cincinnati's weak run defense.

Montgomery was a volume monster in Week 1 as RB5 with 23 touches, 79 total yards, and three scores. He played 57.5% of snaps, handled all five red zone carries, had 42.9% route share, and 7.9% target share (three targets). While not immensely efficient (18th in success rate and missed tackle rate among 33 qualifying backs), he had the tenth-fewest yards before contact per attempt, suggesting offensive line limitations. Cincinnati's run defense allowed the fifth-highest rushing success rate and yards after contact per attempt in Week 1 with the 11th-lowest stuff rate, positioning Montgomery for more running room in Week 2.
