Overview
- Montgomery was a late-week addition with an illness and went from full practice Monday to DNP Tuesday to limited Wednesday before being listed questionable.
- Sporting News reports there is a very good chance he plays, stressing that illness-related absences are uncommon, but this is not yet confirmed.
- Detroit has leaned more on Jahmyr Gibbs in recent weeks, and Montgomery has not topped eight carries in any game since Week 11 with little passing-game usage.
- His fantasy output sits at RB30 for the season and RB47 since Week 11, and Sporting News advises benching him for Week 17.
- The Vikings have allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season; in the previous meeting Montgomery logged 40 rushing yards, a touchdown, and two receptions for 10 yards.
