David Montgomery faces start or sit decisions for Week 1 fantasy matchups

David Montgomery ranks 20th among running backs in Pro Football Network's Week 1 projections as his team prepares to face Buffalo in Houston. Analysts express caution regarding his usage, citing that Montgomery has not logged more than 10 carries in a single game since late last year. Questions remain about the performance of the offensive line after a difficult previous season, leading to concerns about his volume against the Buffalo defense. While Montgomery remains the primary back on the depth chart, he is currently placed outside the top tier of starters for this week. Future expectations for increased volume are higher for next weekend's game against the Bengals. Fantasy managers are advised to monitor his usage and offensive line improvement early in the season to determine his long-term starting viability.
