2024 Outlook from 
Should Continue To Thrive In Detroit’s High-Powered Offense
David Montgomery's first season with Detroit was an unquestioned success as Jahmyr Gibbs' integration into the Lions' backfield did not prevent Montgomery from assembling a collection of career highs. Montgomery finished 15th overall in rushing attempts (219/15.6 per game) and rose to ninth in rushing yards (1,015). He also established new career bests in yards per game (72.5), and yards per attempt (4.6), established a career-high in yards before contact (511), and vaulted to fifth in yards after contact per attempt (2.3). Montgomery also tied for fourth with a career-best 50 attempts inside the red zone, and was fourth with 17 carries inside the 5 yard-line. He easily surpassed his previous career high by generating 13 touchdowns and was fifth with a TD rate of 5.9% according to Fantasy Points Data. Montgomery also finished 15th in points per game (14.8), which was the second-highest average of his career. He will also benefit from functioning behind an exceptional offensive line, that contains three players who earned selection to the 2023 Pro Bowl (Frank Ragnow/Penei Sewell/Kevin Zeitler). Montgomery should provide fantasy managers with RB2 production despite the presence of Gibbs. That makes him an enticing option in Round 5 of best-ball drafts. He can also be targeted in Round 8 of dynasty startup drafts.
