A bright spot in an otherwise dreary season for Chicago, Montgomery would likely have had a career year if not for a four-game absence due to a knee injury. Before getting hurt in Week 4, Montgomery already had two 100+ yard games, and 3 touchdowns. While his rushing numbers sunk down the stretch, rookie quarterback Justin Fields peppered him with targets. Buoyed by the 10th most touches in the NFL, Montgomery was a solid RB2 option for 2021.
So, what can we expect in 2022 for the 4th-year back? Well for starters, he is one of the few three-down workhorse backs in the NFL, with only 6th round pick Khalil Herbert behind him. Although he desperately needs Fields to progress to truly move beyond a mid-tier RB2, Montgomery will get enough volume to remain in the fantasy starter conversation. His overall numbers are capped by a lack of efficiency, and likely growing pains of the offense. There is also a chance the new administration gives a longer, more consistent look at Herbert as a cheaper, long-term option. With a chance to set a career high in receptions, I do like Montgomery a round or two more in PPR than I do in standard leagues.

 Khalil Herbert out for at least a month
Hip injury
By: Doug Orth | Tue Nov 15, 11:15 pm
|  | Bears placed Khalil Herbert on injured reserve. (Aaron Wilson on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Herbert's production has taken a hit since Justin Fields started monopolizing the running game about five weeks ago, but he was still one of the better stories of the season so far - especially in Weeks 3 and 4 when David Montgomery was injured. With Herbert out of the picture - possibly for the rest of the year - Montgomery should return to a workhorse role and be considered a strong RB2 option at worst moving forward. Trestan Ebner could work into the mix as well, but he is unlikely to be all that relevant for fantasy purposes this year.
| David Montgomery expected to play
Limits the value of Khalil Herbert
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Oct 9, 8:10 am
| | Bears’ RB David Montgomery, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a knee injury, plans to play against the Vikings barring any pregame setbacks, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Montgomery missed Week 4 with a knee injury allowing Khalil Herbert to have the backfield mostly to himself, posting a 19-77-0, 1-24-0 line while ceding a few touches to Trestan Ebner. With Montgomery back in the mix, he may be more of a middling RB2 this week if the coaches decided to keep Herbert more involved.
| David Montgomery limited in practice Thursday
Ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Oct 6, 3:58 pm
| | Bears’ RB David Montgomery was upgraded today to limited practice after not practicing Wednesday due to his ankle injury. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: We'll monitor Montgomery's practice status on Friday as his availability will have a huge impact on the fantasy value of backup Khalil Herbert. The Bears travel to Minnesota in Week 5.
| Bears rule out David Montgomery
Ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Sep 30, 3:05 pm
| | Bears ruled out David Montgomery (ankle), and Khalil Herbert to start for Chicago coming off big game against Texans. (Aaron Wilson on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Montgomery missed practice all week and has now been ruled out, meaning we'll get Herbert in a starting role against the Giants. He should see the bulk of carries after his 20-157-2, 2-12-0 line last week against Houston making him an easy RB2 with RB1 upside in all leagues.
| David Montgomery to be OK for Week 4?
Suffered lower leg injury in Week 3
By: Doug Orth | Tue Sep 27, 11:55 pm
| | David Montgomery is going to be day to day according to Matt Eberflus. He said there are a “couple things going on” with his lower leg injury but said he’s “good” right now. (ESPN - Courtney Cronin)
FFToday's Take: There is some belief that Montgomery is dealing with an ankle injury. It would seem HC Matt Eberflus is of the opinion he will be able to go this weekend against the Giants. Either way, one would think Khalil Herbert earned the right to prove himself as a 1B back in this offense as opposed to a traditional backup with his Week 3 effort. Even if Montgomery is active in Week 4, fantasy managers in deeper leagues can make a case to play both.
