David Montgomery Dynasty Value

The platonic ideal of a grinder. Montgomery handled a 55% carry share across his final two seasons at Iowa State, grinding out 88 and 99 rushing yards per game behind an offensive line that wasn't doing him any favors. The yards per carry is uninspiring on paper, but a 43% rate of 100-yard games and 2.8 receptions per game in 2017 show a back who finds ways to produce regardless of what's happening in front of him. 222 pounds with a 4.63 forty, a physical downhill runner who wins with contact balance rather than long speed, and whose weekly floor is built on volume and effort rather than splash plays. R3.73 in a loaded class for a high-floor early-down grinder who contributes enough as a receiver to stay on the field in all situations.
