I'm toying with starting Montgomery tonight over Maclin. I know Maclin has a decent matchup this weekend (and I am trying to forget his last week's missed opportunity), but Montgomery is an attractive alternative given I am in a PPR league that gives points for return yards - and bonus points for scoring outside your position (i.e., a WR scoring a rushing TD). 

Any thoughts?

Packers secondary is decimated and Hoyer has been playing well, so I think this game vs. Chicago becomes a bit of a shootout. Maclin is hard to trust with Smith at the helm, and I see that game as a big Ware/Charles game where the Chiefs don't have to throw much.  I'd go Montgomery

The word is that Montgomery will be the primary RB tonight so he has a shot at a rushing TD.  I am expecting he catches 4 or 5 and has 10-12 rushes based on the word on the street. 

Maclin is a tough choice.  He should have a quality game but he should have had one last week too.  Was last week due to the weather conditions making Reid a little more conservative?  Who knows.  Tough choice but I think I go Maclin.  Mainly because the shiny new tow syndrome with Montgomery seems to me to fall short of expectations.
