Hey everyone, it’s your boy back at it again. Today, I’m diving into a question that’s been on my mind a lot lately: start or sit David Montgomery? I wanted to share my entire thought process, what I did, and how I finally made my call on this one.
So, first things first, I started digging around for any info I could find on Montgomery. The dude hurt his shoulder in the last game against the Colts. Bummer, right? Then I saw he didn’t practice on Monday, which was supposed to be a recovery day. That made me a bit nervous, to be honest.
Gathering Information
- Checked injury reports: I looked up the latest injury reports to see if there were any updates on Montgomery’s shoulder. Nothing new, still the same old shoulder injury.
- Scoured fantasy football advice: You know I had to check out what the fantasy experts were saying. Some were saying to start him, others were saying to sit him. Not very helpful, guys!
- Looked at his stats: I went through Montgomery’s stats for this season. The guy’s been pretty good, especially in his first year with the Lions. Impressive stuff.
Weighing the Options
After gathering all this info, I was still on the fence. On one hand, Montgomery’s been a beast this season. On the other hand, that shoulder injury was a big red flag. I decided to do some more digging.
- Compared him to other players: I looked at other running backs I could start instead of Montgomery. Weighed their stats, matchups, and injury statuses.
- Considered the matchup: I checked out who the Lions were playing against this week. Was it a good matchup for running backs? Was the opposing defense tough?
- Thought about the risk/reward: I had to think about how much I was willing to risk starting an injured player. Was the potential reward worth it?
Making the Decision
After a lot of back and forth, I finally made my decision. I’m going to sit David Montgomery this week. It was a tough call, but I think it’s the smart move. That shoulder injury is just too risky. Plus, I found out that Montgomery switched to a vegan diet a few years back. Might not be relevant, but it’s an interesting tidbit, right?
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it. That’s my whole thought process on whether to start or sit David Montgomery. It wasn’t easy, but I’m happy with my decision. It’s always important to do your research and weigh your options, especially in fantasy football. Hope this helps you guys out!
