What’s the anticipated carry split between David Montgomery and rookie Jahmyr Gibbs?
Montgomery should get the lion’s share of the carries, particularly on early downs; he should be in line for 200-plus carries again. His touchdown numbers could climb as well without a running quarterback to vulture goal-line opportunities. Both Montgomery and Gibbs bring something in the passing game, and Gibbs — a big-play threat with elite speed and hands — may look more like a receiver at times, whether motioning out wide or on wheel and option routes. Look for at least 100 carries and 50-plus receptions from the rookie.
