Ty Montgomery 2019 Player Outlook: Handcuff With No Upside
5 years agoI actually like Ty Montgomery as a player. He's talented and was going to be an RB1 in 2017 if he played a full season. But that's the thing - he was never playing a full season. Montgomery has played in 42 of a possible 64 games during his four year career. Most notably was his inability to stay on the field as the feature back in 2017. He proved to coaches and fantasy owners that he cannot handle a full workload. Montgomery can still be a useful piece of an NFL backfield as a satellite back playing in spurts. Montgomery will barely see the field on a team that features Le'Veon Bell and even if Bell were to get hurt, the best case for Montgomery is that the Jets use him like Theo Riddick with Elijah McGuire operating as the primary back. Montgomery is exponentially more talented than Riddick, but whenever a player's usage ceiling is Theo Riddick, and even that is only attainable in the event of an injury, that player is not fantasy relevant. Montgomery does not have a redraft ADP and rightfully so. You can ignore him outside the deepest of dynasty leagues.
