Ty Montgomery Fantasy

New Orleans Saints running back Ty Montgomery carried the ball 18 times for 105 rushing yards and caught a pass for two receiving yards in a big win over Carolina. With starters Alvin Kamara (COVID-19) and Latavius Murray (close contact) both ruled out for the game, the lead back role was thrust into Montgomery's hands, who literally took it and ran with it. He averaged an impressive 5.8 yards per carry, ripping off a long run of 36 yards. Kamara's status for the playoff opener may be in jeopardy, meaning Murray and Montgomery could form a running back committee against the Bears.

New Orleans Saints running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery is expected to see the bulk of the snaps at running back on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers with the team's entire running back room on the COVID list and ineligible to play. Montgomery has just one carry for negative-four yards this season, but he's shown some solid rushing ability in the past and can get involved in the passing game. Don't expect him to replicate what Alvin Kamara does, but if you need to throw a dart at someone as a FLEX play this week, Montgomery has more upside than anyone else available as a last-minute addition.

New Orleans Saints running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery (hamstring) is nearing a return to action, potentially as soon as Sunday versus Carolina after he was designated to return off of Injured Reserve Monday. Montgomery has appeared in just two games for the Saints this season, carrying the ball once and netting two receptions in a multi-faceted role. Despite his prior fantasy appeal during his time with Green Bay, Montgomery is likely on the outside looking in for a considerable role with New Orleans due to the teams depth at the skill positions. He could be an appealing small-slate DFS option, but he would still need to prove healthy before that becomes a consideration.
