Lions RB David Montgomery a full participant in Wednesday practice

Nov 08, 2023

Lions RB David Montgomery (ribs) was a full participant for Wednesday's practice estimation.

Fantasy Impact:

Gibbs has been fantastic with his given opportunities, but Dan Cambell has made it abundantly clear that the team would prefer to move the ball through Montgomery in the early downs and near the goal line. Both will be RB2 options when sharing the field.

The 49ers and QB Brock Purdy agreed to terms on a five-year, $265 million contract extension.

Purdy gets $181M in total guarantees, including $165.05M in the first three new years of a deal that runs through 2030.

Fantasy Impact:

George Kittle, and now, Purdy have received huge extensions this offseason, locking in two ultra-important pieces of their offense. Purdy should continue to be considered a fringe QB1/2 for fantasy purposes.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is retiring, the team announced Saturday.

The team said that Carr had a labral tear and degenerative rotator cuff damage to his right throwing shoulder.

Related Players: Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler

Fantasy Impact:

It has long been expected that Carr could have problems getting on the field in 2025, but those problems clearly ran deeper. Shough and Rattler will battle it out for the QB1 role, and it's looking like a safe bet that Shough will handle a vast majority of the starts this season.
