Not knowing the team I have or am playing, I shaded a bit towards guys that have a little more elusiveness or mobility.

Montana behind a pristine line with a couple of premier weapons? Sure - I'd take that over Young. But with a spotty line and/or sub-average weapons? I'd prefer a guy in Young that I think can move around a bit, create some time/space/angles to make the play.

There are situations where Montana's the clear play, but I don't know what my circumstances are here so I have to prepare for less than ideal spots. And ultimately I think Young is closer to Montana under ideal circumstances than Montana is to Young under less than ideal circumstances.
