Top Waiver-Wire RBs to Target with David Montgomery Out Multiple Weeks with Injury

Fantasy football managers will have to make due for the next month or so without Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery.

ESPN's Dan Graziano reported the 24-year-old suffered a knee sprain that could keep him out for 4-5 weeks. That leaves some managers scrambling to find a replacement at running back, which becomes increasingly difficult as a season wears on.

Damien Williams, Chicago's second-leading rusher, is an obvious alternative. The Philadelphia Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell and Cincinnati Bengals' Samaje Perine are trending a bit upward as well.

Williams has only carried the ball 16 times this season, but he showed with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019 he can be effective as a stopgap.
