Week 14 vs Jets
Ty Montgomery has been seeing more work in the passing game lately, seeing 14 targets and catching nine passes over the last two weeks. Against the Jets, he can be a very deep flex in PPR formats, especially with Mark Ingram out of the equation at least for this week.
Week 7 at Seahawks
Ty Montgomery has become the de facto RB2 and has been playing about 45-50% of snaps in the last two games. But he doesn't even see the old Latavius Murray role. This is a desperation play on a bye week.
Week 6 vs Dallas
Ty Montgomery is getting on the field for about 14% of the snaps but only has four carries over the past two games. He has zero fantasy value as the Jets will ride LeVeon Bell. No reason to have Montgomery on your roster.
Week 2 vs Cleveland
Ty Montgomery only played seven percent of the snaps last Sunday while LeVeon Bell played in 100%. We think Montgomery will be the main backup, but with only two carries, he has zero fantasy value except as a handcuff for Bell. Otherwise, keep him on the waiver wire.
Week 1 vs Buffalo
Many people thought Ty Montgomery would be an afterthought in the Jets running back story, but he has worked his way to the point where he is LeVeon Bell's backup. He won't have much of a fantasy impact as Bell is expected to be a three-down back, but Montgomery is definitely next up on the depth chart.
Montgomery should not be in your starting lineup for Week 1 and honestly, the only reason to have him on your roster is as a handcuff for Bell.
Wildcard Round vs. Los Angeles Chargers
Ty Montgomery had three touches for 22 yards last week against the Browns. He’s been an occasional contributor to the Baltimore offense this season, but has largely been an afterthought behind Gus Edwards and Kenneth Dixon. Aside from some low-end potential to be a part of the passing game, Montgomery hasn’t done anything to indicate he’ll be a viable fantasy option heading into the playoffs. He should be ignored this week against the Chargers.
Week 14 at Kansas City Chiefs
Ty Montgomery only had three carries for 13 yards last week against the Falcons, but he also caught five passes for 42 yards and was targeted a team-high seven times on the day. Montgomery is too risky to trust week-to-week, but in deep, PPR formats, he has some upside if he continues to get consistent passing down work. He’s worth a speculative roster add in deep leagues, but he’s waiver-fodder for most owners.
Week 13 at Atlanta Falcons
Ty Montgomery had eight carries and three receptions for 64 yards from scrimmage last week against the Raiders. It was his first significant stat line as a Raven and it’s a huge concern for the value of Javorius Allen moving forward. While Montgomery may be carving a role in the offense, he’s far from being a starter, making his current fantasy value limited in most leagues. Fantasy owners should monitor his snap count and targets moving forward, but he should stay on waivers at this time.
Week 9 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Following a trade from the Packers at the deadline, Ty Montgomery will be seeking a role in the Baltimore offense for the remainder of the season. Where he’ll line up regularly is likely going to be a work in progress, but expect him to get touches in the backfield as well as the slot. Fantasy owners should take a wait-and-see approach with him this week, and his arrival hurts the value of other Ravens runners more than it helps Montgomery.
Week 8 at L.A. Rams
Ty Montgomery hasn't gotten more than 10 touches in a game this season. And that's even been with a disjointed rushing attack ahead of him and a plethora of injuries at the WR position. He's not worth using in any format.
