Ty Montgomery Fantasy

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery made three catches on three targets for 17 yards in a win over the Cowboys Sunday. Montgomery didn't get a carry in the game as head coach Adam Gase continues to feature Le'Veon Bell. Montgomery's three targets were more than Bell today, but Bell had 14 of the 15 running back carries. Montgomery will see sparse work in the passing game, but overall he won't see enough carries or targets to be worth starting in fantasy.

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery had two carries for one yard and Bilal Powell had one carry for four yards in a loss to the Eagles Sunday. Neither running back had a target in the passing game. Before the season, head coach Adam Gase said the Jets would not work starting running back Le'Veon Bell the way he was in Pittsburgh. That has not been the case, however, as Bell has played well over 90 percent of the Jets offensive snaps while no other running back has gotten more than six touches in a game. Montgomery is the likely handcuff to Bell should Bell get injured, but as long as the Jets are using Bell as a true every-down workhorse, no other Jets running back has any fantasy value.

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery is looking to get on the field more after the team's Week 4 bye. Montgomery has played less than 20 percent of the team's offensive snaps and has been out-touched by Le'Veon Bell 76-10. In the preseason, head coach Adam Gase said the Jets would not give Bell as much work as he got in Pittsburgh, but that has not been the case so far with Bell handling 96.3 percent of the offensive snaps. It's possible the early bye week made it easier for the Jets to feature Bell early and Gase will operate more of a split moving forward. However, even if Montgomery starts to see more work he is the clear number two in this backfield and his only fantasy value is a handcuff to Bell.
