David Montgomery 2022 Outlook
The heart and soul of the Bears' offense, Montgomery continued to ascend in 2021. Despite missing four games with a knee injury, the 2019 third-round draft pick from Iowa State led the team in rushing for the third straight season, compiling 849 yards and seven touchdowns on 225 carries. He also caught 42 passes for 301 yards. In generating 1,150 yards from scrimmage, Montgomery became just the fourth player in Bears history to produce at least 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons, joining Hall of Famer Gale Sayers, Matt Forte and Jordan Howard. Montgomery gained 1,074 yards in 2019 (889 rushing, 185 receiving in 15 games) and 1,508 yards in 2020 (1,070 rushing, 438 receiving in 15 contests). In a Week 13 loss to the Cardinals, Montgomery compiled a season-high 141 yards from scrimmage, rushing for 90 yards and one TD on 21 carries and catching eight passes for 51 yards. Heading into the final year of his rookie contract, Montgomery isn't worried about the money -- but he knows the path to getting paid. "I still got to play football, and I still got to perform," Montgomery said. From a fantasy perspective, Montgomery's consistent usage and production make him an excellent -- if not flashy -- starting asset. The arrival of new head coach Matt Eberflus, a former defensive coordinator, means continued reliance on the rushing attack is likely.

David Montgomery 2021 Outlook
In his second season, Montgomery tied for fifth in the NFL in rushing and became the first Bears' back to top 1,000 yards since Jordan Howard in 2017. But Montgomery's was another tale of two seasons. He scored 105 fantasy points (11.6 per week) in his first nine games. He averaged 3.6 yards per rush attempt and ranked 14th in total points among running backs. Then, after missing a game with a concussion, Montgomery rushed for 434 yards and five touchdowns on 71 carries. Only NFL leading rusher Derrick Henry of the Titans had more yards and TDs during that span. Montgomery topped 100 yards in three of those four contests. As a result, Montgomery scored 153 fantasy points (averaging 25.5 per game) over the final six weeks of the season. He averaged 5.2 yards per rush attempt and ranked third in total points among running backs in that time. But schedule was a factor. As SI.com pointed out, during that stretch, Chicago's opponents were all in the top six in terms of allowing the most fantasy points to running backs. While Montgomery showed some breakaway ability in those later weeks, the additions of Damien Williams, rookie Khalil Herbert and the return of Tarik Cohen will be limiting factors.

David Montgomery 2020 Outlook
The Bears are still confident enough in Montgomery, who carried the ball 242 times for 889 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie, to keep him in the lead role. According to ESPN.com's Jeff Dickerson, Matt Nagy likely wants to get Montgomery, who tied for third in carries inside the five-yard line, more involved even though Chicago never truly committed to running the football last season. Montgomery had 20-plus carries in only four games as the Bears ranked near the bottom of the league in rushing offense. The onus is on Nagy to better utilize Montgomery and GM Ryan Pace believes Montgomery can be the team's featured running back and carry a heavier load if the Bears opt to run more in 2020. Even though the team brought in Nick Foles to compete with Mitchell Trubisky and a pair of new TEs (veteran Jimmy Graham and rookie Cole Kmet), this still remains a team with an underwhelming cadre of wide receivers. For the Bears to have success, they need to run the ball. As Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport put it, "If the Bears are going to even sniff a playoff spot this season, it's going to take 1,200 yards on the ground from Montgomery -- a number that would make fantasy football enthusiasts elated.'
