David Montgomery officially ruled out for Week 8

The Lions officially ruled out RB David Montgomery for Week 8 against the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: 

This was expected after Montgomery has yet to return to practice. The Lions were always likely to rest Montgomery this week with their bye week coming in Week 9. Jahmyr Gibbs became more involved in the offense with Montgomery out last week and should expect the same in what should be a much better matchup this week against the Raiders compared to last week against the Ravens. Gibbs is a strong play this week while Craig Reynolds is a deep flex option.
