NFL RB Index, Week 14: Top three running back duos right now (Top three duos - 2.  David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs:  The Lions have a very conventional two-back system, with David Montgomery as the workhorse and Jahmyr Gibbs as the big-time playmaker -- providing that thunder-and-lightning dynamic. Montgomery is the hammer who runs with power and possesses the ability to break tackles, having forced 35 missed tackles on runs, per Pro Football Focus. He’s received a ton of work in the red zone as well; Montgomery has scored a touchdown on eight of his 42 attempts inside the 20-yard line, according to Next Gen Stats. Meanwhile, Gibbs is averaging 5.4 yards per carry and is quickly closing in on 1,000 scrimmage yards. Detroit has done a fantastic job utilizing his speed on the outside and getting him into space. It’s no surprise that the Lions boast the fourth-best rushing attack league-wide, with these two at the center of it.  Top 15 running backs - 7.  David Montgomery (2023 stats: 9 games | 151 att | 704 rush yds | 4.7 ypc | 10 rush TD | 9 rec | 87 rec yds | 0 rec TD | 1 fumble lost):  David Montgomery was given the majority of the backfield work in Sunday’s win over New Orleans, rushing for 56 yards on a game-high 18 carries. His biggest play of the day was his 2-yard touchdown run -- the first of three TDs in the first seven minutes of the game -- which gave him his fourth rushing touchdown in as many games.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-rb-index-week-14-top-three-running-back-duos-right-now

Jared Goff, Detroit Lions: 0.108 - Goff has been up and down lately and may no longer be the NFC North’s top quarterback thanks to Love’s explosive growth and sudden proficiency hitting tight targets downfield (discussed here).):  https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-qb-rankings-week-14-holy-moly-is-brock-purdy-really-2023s-mvp
