Ty Montgomery II Fantasy

New England Patriots running back Ty Montgomery (leg) was among those that didn't take part in pregame warmups on Thursday, making it unlikely that he'll suit up for the team's preseason opener against the Houston Texans. Montgomery has been losing valuable repetitions in training camp as he looks to lock up a complementary pass-catching role this year behind Rhamondre Stevenson. As long as Montgomery continues to miss time, Pierre Strong Jr., Kevin Harris and J.J. Taylor will see more opportunities to impress the coaching staff in the preseason. The 30-year-old played just 19 snaps in the season opener last year before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. At best, the veteran back will be a waiver-wire pickup in 2023 in deep PPR formats.

New England Patriots running back Ty Montgomery (undisclosed) had four catches in the team's first training camp practice this week, but he suffered an undisclosed lower-body injury during practice on Thursday and left early. The 30-year-old veteran's injury should be monitored closely, and we'll pass along any new information once it comes out. He played in just one game with the Patriots in 2022 due to a shoulder injury, but he figures to have a bigger role in the passing attack this year if he's healthy. Once he's able to get back onto the field, hopefully sooner than later, Montgomery will be competing with Pierre Strong Jr. and Kevin Harris for a complementary role behind early-down back Rhamondre Stevenson.

New England Patriots veteran Ty Montgomery was listed as a running back/wide receiver hybrid on the team's official roster in the spring, but he is listed as just a wideout during training camp. This could mean any speculation of him being used as a third-down back could be put to rest. If so, Rhamondre Stevenson should retain plenty of his receiving work from 2022. However, Pierre Strong Jr. was a strong pass-catcher in college, so he could see a role in passing situations, too. Either way, if Montgomery doesn't get any touches from the backfield, he'll likely be off the fantasy radar altogether in 2023.
