Jahmyr Gibbs

David Montgomery was sidelined last week after suffering a thigh bruise in Week 2. He will return to the field on Thursday Night Football as the Detroit Lions’ lead running back. The Lions face the Green Bay Packers in the matchup.

Montgomery led the Lions in RB touches in the first two weeks and is expected to wrest that role back from rookie teammate Jahmyr Gibbs. Although Montgomery is firmly planted as the “primary back”, fantasy owners should view the pair as a duo and expect workloads that approach equal touches.
