Montgomery struggles while Swift shines in fantasy football early season

Summary

Through the first two weeks of the NFL season, David Montgomery's performance has been inconsistent. After a three-touchdown debut with Houston, he followed with a disappointing outing, currently ranked RB12. D'Andre Swift, however, has made a substantial impact, ranking RB4 after a standout Week 1. While Swift's early season performance defies projections, maintaining his health and production remains key as the season progresses. Fantasy managers are advised to evaluate their options regarding both players.
