David Montgomery Officially Ruled Out For Week 8

one year ago

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (ribs) has been ruled out for the Week 8 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. This doesn't come as much of a surprise after Montgomery wasn't able to practice this week. Rookie back Jahmyr Gibbs will serve as the lead back for the second week in a row. He saw a significant snap count last week, so the expectation is that Gibbs will be the workhorse back once again. Fellow running back Craig Reynolds is expected to be the change-of-pace option for this game. Fantasy managers should consider Gibbs a high-end RB2 for this game.
