The Chicago Bears selected David Montgomery in 2019 with the 79th overall pick to replace Jordan Howard and pair him with pass-catcher Tarik Cohen. Montgomery profiled as a versatile back out of Iowa State, rushing for 2,925 yards and 26 rushing touchdowns in his career and pairing that with 71 receptions for 582 receiving yards.
Montgomery’s rookie season resulted in 889 rushing yards for six touchdowns as well as 25 receptions for 185 receiving yards and a receiving TD. For fantasy purposes (Weeks 1-17) this meant a RB24 finish for the position in PPR leagues (points per reception).
