Montgomery needed to be carted off the field, but the nature of his removal from the game does not appear to be congruent with the extent of the injury. Regardless, it looks like missing some time is in the cards for Monty, and that shifts the fantasy focus from him to Jahmyr Gibbs and Craig Reynolds, who split the workload in relief. The hope is that Gibbs will have a chance to see more opportunity in the ground game after largely being limited to work in the receiving game, but things looked awfully familiar in the Lions backfield when Craig Reynolds began taking snaps over the first-round rookie. Their usage in Week 3 would be one of the most important stories to monitor if Montgomery ultimately can’t go.
