David Montgomery enters 2025 with potential volatility due to significant offseason shifts. With Detroit losing key linemen Kevin Zeitler and Frank Ragnow, Montgomery's rushing efficiency might dip. Despite ranking RB3 in Mtf Per Att (0.16), the offensive line changes could hinder his RB28 projected rush yards (802.47). The Lions' OC switch from Ben Johnson to John Morton adds uncertainty, potentially diminishing Montgomery's touch share, as Jahmyr Gibbs's explosive 2024 finish suggests a larger role. Montgomery's RB18 targets per game (2.44) and RB22 inside 5 carry percentage (7.29) highlight his TD-dependent role. While healthy post-MCL injury, his RB4 Fpts Per Opportunity (-1.00) underscores the risk. Contractually secure, yet competition looms.
