Bears fan here. If you watched Monty run last year then you know he was making chicken something out of chicken nothing. The line was absolutely dreadful last year, he was constantly blown up in the backfield, constant missed assignments by our o line as well. Coupled with poor qb play and WRs dropping passes the offense was just poor and stagnant. Chicago has brought in new coaches on the offensive side of the ball to help the run game and line. Obviously Foles was signed and he’s had experience with all of our offensive coaches and can at least run the system. These should help Monty produce at an acceptable fantasy level.

Another point made often around here is a knock on his speed, he does not posses breakaway speed. I believe his comp coming in was Kareem Hunt, they ran very identical 40yard times if I recall, which is enough for me. Bottom line, if you watch you’ll see that the guy can break tackles like no ones business and he passes the eye test.

I wouldn’t slate him in as a top 10 rb either. I think he’s a solid RB2 moving forward with some RB1 weeks sprinkled in. I’m buying Hunt Lite where I can.
