Running Back 1: David Montgomery ($5,800)

David Montgomery’s lackluster Week 3 performance likely lowered his price for this week’s games, which you must take advantage of. The Bears are playing the Detroit Lions this week, who is the 24th ranked defense against running backs fantasy-wise so far.

After getting carved up in back-to-back weeks by Aaron Jones (115 total yards and four touchdowns), and the entirety of the Ravens’ rushing attack (116 yards), the Lions’ defense facecs another stout threat in Montgomery, who should have no problem carving up this defense.

Montgomery is a must-grab player, especially since he’s below $6,000.

Running Back 2: Clyde Edwards-Helaire ($5,400)

Another discounted running back due to uncharacteristic fumbling issues, Clyde Edwards-Helaire has a great matchup this week against the Eagles, in a game where the Chiefs should dominate from start to finish.

If Edwards-Helaire was on another team, he probably would’ve been in the infamous ‘doghouse,’ but Andy Reid has proven he sticks with his guys even through their mistakes. Edwards-Helaire responded nicely to Reid’s trust with a 17-100 game rushing and a 2-9-1 receiving line.

Edwards-Helaire should be in line for another efficient rushing day, and getting a back for $5,400 who has a 66.2% snap count share on a high-powered offense is incredible.
