David Montgomery gains 69 yards in Bears defeat

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery rushed 14 times for 48 yards and caught 5 passes (5 targets) for 21 yards in a 24-10, Week 7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night.

What It Means:

Montgomery continues to dominate the Bears' backfield work as he is averaging 19.7 touches over the last three games and is tied with Alvin Kamara for 10th-most (121) in the entire league. He's also tied for drawing the fifth-most targets (33) among all running backs. Volume certainly isn't the problem, but Montgomery has just one game with 100-plus yards from scrimmage and he's averaging the fifth-fewest yards per touch (4.4) among anyone with at least 100 touches. Expect another high-volume, low-efficieny performance from Montgomery in Week 8 versus the New Orleans Saints.

Montgomery scored 9.4 FanDuel points on Monday night. He's been held under 12.0 FanDuel points in five-of-seven games this season. numberFire's models expect Montgomery to score 12.3 FanDuel points in Week 8 with a salary of $5,800 and he is the RB15 in our weekly fantasy rankings. The Saints have the No. 13 rush defense in our advanced team rankings.
