News

  • One catch in Week 14

    Montgomery was on the field for six of a possible 57 snaps on offense in Thursday's 21-18 win over the Steelers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) sidelined Thursday, Montgomery served as Ezekiel Elliott's top backup, while Kevin Harris didn't log any snaps. In that role, Montgomery was limited to one catch on two targets for 17 yards, so even if Stevenson continues to miss time, Montgomery will remain off the fantasy radar as long as Elliott is available. The Patriots' next game is Dec. 17 against the Chiefs.

  • May see increased workload

    Montgomery may be asked to play a larger role in the Patriots' offense Thursday night versus Pittsburgh, Evan Lazar of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery could see an increased workload against the Steelers with Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) officially ruled out for Week 14. This season, Montgomery has turned three carries into nine yards while appearing in all 12 of the team's contests to this point, and he'll be operating behind Ezekiel Elliott in the backfield so his fantasy value will remain limited.

  • Mixes in on offense

    Montgomery played three of the Patriots' 64 snaps on offense and carried once for two yards in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: With Rhamondre Stevenson exiting Sunday's game early with an ankle injury that's expected to keep him sidelined for multiple weeks, Montgomery resurfaced in the Patriots' backfield mix. He still lagged far behind Ezekiel Elliott in terms of both snaps and touches, but Montgomery at least had the opportunity to pick up his first carry since Week 5. The Patriots have kept Montgomery active for all 12 of their games to date mostly for his contributions on special teams, but he could end up…read more

  • No longer hindered by illness

    Montgomery (illness) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Montgomery practiced in full Thursday after missing Wednesday's session entirely, signaling he probably won't miss any game action due to the illness he's dealing with. As long as Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott (thigh) are available in Week 13, Montgomery isn't likely to check in for more than a couple snaps versus the Chargers.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Montgomery (illness) was a nonparticipant at the Patriots' practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Montgomery is dealing with an illness to open the week and he was unable to go for New England's first practice session ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Chargers. The 30-year-old will have two more sessions to return to the field before the final injury report Friday.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Montgomery (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Zach Cox of New England Sports Network reports.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old running back dealt with knee and personal issues throughout the week, but it seems as if he was able to move past those setbacks, as he was a full participant in Friday's practice. Through seven games, Montgomery has recorded 127 return yards as the Patriots' primary kick returner.

  • Not practicing Thursday

    Montgomery (knee) missed Thursday's practice, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old running back out of Stanford was absent from Thursday's practice after he tallied a limited session Wednesday. It's unclear when Montgomery suffered this knee injury, but he'll likely carry an injury designation into the weekend after Thursday's DNP.

  • Tending to knee injury

    Montgomery (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: It's not clear when Montgomery picked up the injury or how severe it might be at this point. Unless he can manage a full practice Thursday or Friday, he'll likely carry an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Good to go while Stevenson's Q

    Montgomery (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery is good to go after dealing with an illness earlier in the week. Meanwhile, starting running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) is listed as questionable. Per Lazar, there's reported optimism that Stevenson will play, but if Stevenson is ultimately limited or out, Montgomery could see more opportunities as a pass catcher out of the backfield.

  • Dealing with illness

    Montgomery (illness) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: It's not clear whether it's anything serious enough to potentially keep Montgomery out of Sunday's game versus New Orleans. New England's injury reports Thursday and Friday will shed more light on his availability for that contest.

  • Three snaps versus Miami

    Montgomery was on the field for three of 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery, who continues to work behind Rhamondre Stevenson (54 snaps) and Ezekiel Elliott (22 snaps), didn't record a carry or catch (on one target) Sunday and will remain off the fantasy radar as long as his change-of-pace role with the Patriots is limited.

  • Catches two passes in Week 1

    Montgomery logged seven of a possible 80 snaps on offense in Sunday's season-opening 25-20 loss to the Eagles, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery, who was brought back to the team's 53-man roster Saturday, worked behind Rhamondre Stevenson (58 snaps) and Ezekiel Elliott (28 snaps) Sunday en route to carrying once for seven yards and catching two of his three targets for nine yards. There could be weeks where the versatile Montgomery is more involved in the Patriots' passing game, but for now he's off the fantasy radar as long as the team's top duo is available.

  • Joins 53-man roster

    New England signed Montgomery to its active roster Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The veteran running back was waived and added to the Patriots' practice squad this offseason before signing to the team's active roster. Montgomery will join Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott in New England's backfield ahead of the coming season.

  • Joins Pats practice squad

    The Patriots signed Montgomery to their practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: New England will also retain fellow running back Kevin Harris on the practice squad, with he and Montgomery providing the organization with some familiar depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott. Montgomery has a chance to enter the Patriots' change-of-pace mix this coming season in the event that he's promoted to the active roster, a plausible outcome unless further backfield options are brought in.

  • Let go by Patriots

    The Patriots released Montgomery on Tuesday.

    Analysis: With J.J. Taylor and Kevin Harris also having been cut by the team Tuesday, Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott are temporarily the only running backs on the team's 53-man roster. Look for some more moves to arrive in the coming days, and with that in mind it's possible that Montgomery could rejoin the mix once the cut-down dust settles.

  • Back at practice

    Montgomery (leg) was present for practice Tuesday, but didn't participate in team drills, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: Now that he's back on the practice field, the versatile Montgomery will look to secure a change-of-pace role behind top back Rhamondre Stevenson and newcomer Ezekiel Elliott. The addition of Elliott solidifies the top of the Patriots' RB depth chart, which leaves Montgomery to compete with Pierre Strong, Kevin Harris and J.J. Taylor for slotting behind the team's top duo.

  • Still not practicing

    Montgomery (leg) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery's continued absence doesn't help his chances of securing a key change-of-pace role out of the gate this season, and once he's back on the field he'll need to compete for depth chart slotting with Pierre Strong, Kevin Harris and J.J. Taylor. In any case, the Patriots' addition of veteran Ezekiel Elliott to a backfield led by Rhamondre Stevenson represents a hit to Montgomery's fantasy prospects ahead of Week 1.

  • Not warming up Thursday

    Montgomery (leg) wasn't spotted in warmups ahead of Thursday's preseason opener against the Texans, Chris Mason of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery has been missing practice of late, so his looming absence Thursday isn't surprising. Look for Pierre Strong, Kevin Harris and J.J. Taylor to handle the bulk of the team's backfield snaps versus Houston.

  • Still not practicing

    Montgomery (leg) didn't practice Tuesday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: With Montgomery continuing to miss practice, the versatile back isn't likely to suit up for the Patriots' preseason opener Thursday against the Texans. Once he's able to rejoin practice, he'll look to carve out a change-of-pace role in a backfield led by Rhamondre Stevenson, fighting for backup snaps with second-year pros Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris.

  • Continues to miss practice

    Montgomery (leg) remained sidelined during Wednesday's practice, Dakota Randall of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery hasn't practiced since suffering a leg injury last week, but the versatile running back has been spotted on the team's rehab field, an indication that he's progressing toward a return. With Montgomery banged up and with the Patriots managing Rhamondre Stevenson's workload in training camp, Kevin Harris, Pierre Strong and J.J. Taylor have handled added practice reps.

  • Still sidelined Sunday

    Montgomery (leg) didn't participate in Sunday's practice, Chris Mason of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery suffered an apparent left leg injury during Thursday's practice and hasn't practiced since. Head coach Bill Belichick called the versatile running back "day-to-day," but it's unclear when he'll be back to full speed. When healthy, Montgomery will try to establish himself in a backfield that features Rhamondre Stevenson and second-year players Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris.

  • Deemed day-to-day

    Montgomery, who suffered an apparent left leg injury during Thursday's practice, was not present for Friday's session, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that after sustaining the injury, Montgomery -- who coach Bill Belichick calls "day-to-day" -- stayed on the field for a half-speed walk-through before exiting Thursday's practice. Once he returns to the field, the versatile Montgomery will look to establish a change-of-pace/pass-catching role in a New England backfield that will be led by Rhamondre Stevenson and also includes second-year players Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris.

  • Competing for role behind Stevenson

    Montgomery is a candidate to serve as a complementary option behind lead back Rhamondre Stevenson during the upcoming season, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old missed the final 16 games of the 2022 season, but now that he's moved past his injury woes, Montgomery has caught the eye of head coach Bill Belichick during the Patriots' offseason program. With Damien Harris having moved on to Buffalo this offseason, Montgomery will be competing with second-year players Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris for reps behind Stevenson. It's still possible that the Patriots will add another veteran back to the mix, but if Montgomery ends up emerging as…read more

  • Could be in third-down mix

    Patriots running backs coach Ivan Fears indicated that Montgomery, who was limited to one game last season due to a shoulder injury, has moved past the issue, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

    Analysis: Prior to suffering his injury in the team's 2022 season opener, Montgomery appeared poised to handle a third-down role behind Rhamondre Stevenson and Damien Harris (who's now with the Bills). Now that he's healthy again, Montgomery will have a chance to compete for a change-of-pace role behind Stevenson, while James Robinson, Pierre Strong, Kevin Harris and J.J. Taylor also are in the mix to handle complementary backfield touches. If the versatile Montgomery emerges as a key third-down option,…read more

  • Gets shoulder surgery, done for 2022

    Montgomery (knee) will miss the remainder of the season after recently undergoing shoulder surgery, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery was placed on injured reserve after playing 19 snaps in the team's season-opening loss to the Dolphins. The Patriots haven't provided many updates on his status since then, but Montgomery looks like he'll spend the remainder of the season rehabbing from the shoulder procedure. Montgomery will be due $1.36 million in 2023 and should compete for a change-of-pace role within the New England backfield next offseason, if healthy.

  • Unlikely to return in Week 6

    Montgomery (knee) is not expected to be activated from injured reserve this week, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery was placed on IR with a right knee injury Sept. 13 following the Patriots' Week 1 loss to the Dolphins, but head coach Bill Belichick doesn't expect the running back to return in Week 6. With Damien Harris (hamstring) potentially unavailable for New England's upcoming matchup with the Browns, Pierre Strong, J.J. Taylor and Kevin Harris could see increased roles behind Rhamondre Stevenson.

  • Heads to IR

    The Patriots placed Montgomery on injured reserve Tuesday due to an apparent aggravation of a right knee injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After initially injuring his knee Aug. 26 and turning in only limited participation in practice last week, Montgomery was listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He ultimately gained clearance to play in the Patriots' season-opening 20-7 loss, logging 21 snaps while accounting for 13 yards and New England's only touchdown across five touches (two carries, three receptions). With Montgomery's move to IR ensuring that he'll miss at least the next four games, rookie…read more

    Montgomery was on the field for 21 of a possible 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-7 loss to Miami, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: In the process, Montgomery carried twice for minus-2 yards and caught three of his four targets for 15 yards and a TD. Given that rookie Pierre Strong was inactive Week 1, it looks like Montgomery has a decent grip on the Patriots' change-of-pace duties early on this season, while Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson (two targets Sunday) remain the team's primary early-down options. Looking ahead, Montgomery possesses modest fantasy utility in PPR-friendly formats, with his weekly volume…read more

    Montgomery (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's season opener against the Dolphins, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: In his regular-season debut with the Patriots, Montgomery, who was a limited practice participant this week, will look to help fill the change-of-pace void (behind top early-down options Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson) in the team's offense created by the retirement of James White. It remains to seen how much volume that will initially yield for Montgomery, with Stevenson potentially factoring into the team's passing game as well, but Pierre Strong being made inactive Sunday suggests…read more

    Montgomery (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: If he's available Sunday, Montgomery -- who was a limited practice participant this week -- is a candidate to help fill the change-of-pace void created by the retirement of James White. If he's out or limited, however, rookie Pierre Strong could see added snaps behind top early-down options Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson, with Stevenson potentially factoring into the team's passing game as well.

    Montgomery (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Unless he manages to log a full practice Friday, Montgomery will head into the weekend with a degree of uncertainty regarding his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. If Montgomery is out or limited Week 1, rookie Pierre Strong would be a candidate to see added touches behind fellow backs Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson.

    Montgomery was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a knee injury, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: As Cox notes, Montgomery left New England's preseason finale with an ankle issue, but Wednesday's practice report lists him with a different injury. Either way, if Montgomery is available this weekend against the Dolphins, he's a candidate to help fill the change-of-pace/pass-catching void created by the retirement of James White. If Montgomery is out or limited, however, rookie Pierre Strong could see added touches behind top early-down options Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson.

    Montgomery (ankle) was present for Wednesday's practice, Tom E. Curran of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    Analysis: Curran notes that Montgomery, who was carted off the field during the Patriots' preseason finale, looked "spry" Wednesday. The Patriots will release their first Week 1 injury report later in the day, when it will be revealed whether Montgomery is listed as a full participant. In any case, the change-of-pace back's presence at practice to begin the week bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Dolphins.

If he's available, Montgomery is a candidate to help fill the change-of-pace/pass-catching void created by the retirement of James White.

The 29-year-old had been projected to help fill the change-of-pace/pass-catching void created by the retirement of James White, but if he's forced to miss time early on this season, rookie Pierre Strong is a candidate to see increased opportunities in New England's offense, while the team's top early-down options Damien…read more

    Analysis: In a game in which Damien Harris (undisclosed) didn't play, Rhamondre Stevenson got all the backfield reps on the Patriots' first possession, with Montgomery entering on the team's second drive. After his only official touch (a four-yard carry), Montgomery was tended to by New England's training staff before requiring assistance to reach the sideline and a cart to go to the locker room.

  • Injures leg Friday

    Montgomery suffered a lower right leg injury during Friday's preseason game at Las Vegas, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery attempted to reach the sideline on his own, but he eventually fell back to the turf and was attended to by the Patriots' training staff before needing assistance to get off the field. He then was carted to the locker room. The severity of the injury is unknown, but anything serious would be a blow to his chances of taking on some of the retired James White's change-of-pace role in the offense. Candidates for that job otherwise are J.J. Taylor and rookie sixth-round pick Kevin Harris.

  • Gets into end zone Friday

    Montgomery carried the ball four times for 13 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for five yards in Friday's preseason game against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Somewhat surprisingly, Damien Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson and Montgomery rotated through the offense during the first half, with the latter punching in a two-yard TD early in the second quarter. It was thought the well-traveled journeyman might be the top candidate to replace the retired James White in passing situations, but Friday's usage of the trio suggests the Patriots' backfield could be a true committee in 2022 instead, making it difficult to trust any of them on a weekly basis.

  • Could move into receiving back role

    In the wake of James White's retirement, based on how things have gone in training camp, Montgomery could have the inside track to fill the Patriots' vacated receiving back role, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: One bit of context supporting that notion is that Montgomery was among the Patriots (a group that included the team's key skill players) who sat out Thursday night's preseason opener. The report notes that rookie Pierre Strong is also candidate to help fill the void created by the absence of White, but the 2022 fourth-rounder is going to need to establish that he can be counted on in pass protection and thus may be eased into the mix if Montgomery indeed claims a notable change-of-pace role out…read more

  • Could claim change-of-pace role

    Montgomery is a candidate for added opportunities in the Patriots offense after running back James White announced his retirement from the NFL, NESN's Zack Cox and ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

    Analysis: At this stage, Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson currently top the running back depth chart and are in line to handle the bulk of the team's early down work this season. With White no longer in the mix, though, there will be change-of-pace/pass-catching snaps and touches available, and both Cox and Reiss believe the versatile Montgomery has a chance to claim a share of them. Rookie fourth-rounder Pierre Strong is another player who could factor in on that front, with 2022 sixth-rounder…read more

  • Pushing for roster spot

    Montgomery has been one of the Patriots' early standouts in training camp, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Though the Patriots' roster lists the 29-year-old as a wide receiver, the team's unofficial depth chart has the versatile Montgomery as a second-team running back. While Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson are expected to lead the team's rushing attack this season, Lazar believes that as things stand, "Montgomery is not just on the team; he will be incorporated into the offense and special teams." Also in the team's backfield mix are James White (who is bouncing back from a hip injury) and…read more

  • Taking RB reps

    Patriots running backs coach Vinnie Sunseri relays that Montgomery, who is listed as a wide receiver on the team's official roster, has been taking backfield reps, NESN.com's Zack Cox reports.

    Analysis: Given the Patriots' deep running back corps and solid depth at wideout, there's not a clear path for Montgomery to see steady touches in the team's offense at this stage. That said, the 29-year-old's versatility is an asset that could help him secure a roster spot, in particular if he makes a case to earn special teams snaps. In 14 games with the Saints last season, Montgomery carried 15 times for 44 yards while catching 16 of his 26 targets for 95 yards.

  • Joining Patriots

    Montgomery is signing a two-year deal with the Patriots, independent NFL reporter Dov Kleiman reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery may provide depth behind passing-down back James White, who was re-signed earlier this week, or he could see more of his work at wide receiver. Either way, the versatile 29-year-old isn't likely to have a big role, with any fantasy value likely requiring injuries ahead of him.

  • Logs 31 touches in 2021

    Montgomery rushed 15 times for 44 yards while catching 16 of 26 targets for 95 yards over 14 games in 2021.

    Analysis: Even when Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith missed time at wide receiver or when Alvin Kamara skipped four games at running back, Montgomery rarely handled a significant offensive role. The lone exception was a Week 12 matchup with Buffalo, when the 29-year-old rushed six times for 14 yards while catching five of seven targets for 31 yards. Montgomery will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the league year, and it's uncertain whether New Orleans will bring him back for another…read more

  • Ready for Week 18

    Montgomery (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Montgomery played through the back issue last week against the Panthers and will do so again in the final game of the regular season. The 28-year-old has only one offensive touch over the past three games and is unlikely to have a significant role Sunday, especially if Mark Ingram (knee), who's listed as questionable, is able to play.

    Analysis: Montgomery has now opened the week with consecutive limited showings at practice, though his participation does bode well for his ability to play Sunday considering he played through the injury last week. With teammate Mark Ingram (knee) unavailable for practice Thursday, the running back may be asked to play a larger role in the Saints' backfield in Week 18 if he's able to play.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old was able to play through the back injury in the Saints' Week 17 win over the Panthers, making his limited participation Wednesday less of a concern. Montgomery's status at practice the rest of week is worth monitoring, though his ability to play Sunday won't likely impact the Saints' offensive approach either way.

    Analysis: Montgomery was back in the lineup after missing Week 14 due to COVID-19, but he didn't see an increased role, despite the absence of Deonte Harris (suspension). Instead, Marquez Callaway and Tre'Quan Smith hogged playing time at wide receiver while Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram led the way at running back. Montgomery hasn't been a fantasy option all season, and there are no signs of that changing Week 16 against Miami.

    Montgomery rushed four times for 21 yards while catching four of seven targets for nine yards during Thursday's 27-17 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Montgomery saw a heightened workload with Alvin Kamara (knee) on the shelf. However, Mark Ingram operated as the clear lead back and Montgomery wasn't able to do much with the touches he got. Should Kamara remain unavailable in Week 14 against the Jets, Montgomery would only be relevant as an emergency option in deep PPR formats.

    Analysis: With both Kamara and Ingram (knee) out of the mix in last Thursday's game against the Bills, Montgomery logged six carries for 14 yards (while Jones had 16 carries) in addition to five catches on seven targets for 31 yards. This time around, Ingram is back in action and should lead the way, with Montgomery mixing in as a change-of-pace option, a context that could give him a degree of PPR utility Week 13.

    Montgomery rushed six times for 14 yards while catching five of seven targets for 31 yards during Thursday's 31-6 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Montgomery saw a hike in playing time thanks to the absences of both Alvin Kamara (knee) and Mark Ingram (knee). While Tony Jones led the way on early downs, Montgomery mixed in sporadically while siphoning off a large chunk of the work on passing downs. However, neither back was very effective within an offense led by Trevor Siemian. Even if Kamara and Ingram remain sidelined in Week 13 against Dallas, Montgomery would only be a fringe fantasy consideration in deep PPR formats.

    Montgomery (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Montgomery hasn't practiced since exiting last week's loss to the Titans as a result of this injury. Also missing from Thursday's practice was Alvin Kamara (knee), who didn't suit up against Tennessee but practiced in limited fashion Wednesday. The versatile Montgomery would likely absorb some of Kamara's pass-catching duties out of the backfield if he plays Sunday in Philadelphia and Kamara doesn't, but such a scenario seems unlikely at this point.

    Analysis: Top back Alvin Kamara led the Saints with 20 carries, while also pacing the team in targets with 11. Kamara should continue to dominate touches in the New Orleans offense, leaving little behind for peripheral players like Montgomery. The versatile wideout provides little value for fantasy purposes.

That said, as long as Kamara is available, he's in line to log the bulk of the team's carries.

He should remain involved in the offense to some degree even when Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring) are back in the fold, but Montgomery probably won't be seeing enough playing time to merit fantasy consideration even without those guys in the lineup.

    Analysis: Payton said that the recent decision to sign Devonta Freeman started with the decision to switch things up with Montgomery, making it sound as if he isn't a consideration at running back anymore.

    Analysis: It sounds as if the contract is more incentive-laden than anything else, but it does come with a $137,500 bonus. The veteran running back played in six games last season, compiling the fewest carries (19) and rushing yards (101) since his rookie year, but almost all that production came in a meaningless Week 17 contest against the Panthers where Montgomery averaged 5.8 yards per carry.

With the Saints' offense mostly healthy, too, his role will be reserved to change-of-pace duties behind Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray.

  • Preparing to return from IR

    The Saints designated Montgomery (hamstring) to return from IR on Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery missed three games, and with the benefit of a Week 6 bye, it appears he could return to action Sunday versus the Panthers. The 27-year-old running back will add depth in the backfield upon return, but he's unlikely to take any reps from Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray.

  • Shifts to IR

    Montgomery (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery was a surprise entry on the injury report Friday, earning a questionable designation for Sunday's contest with the Packers. A revenge matchup with his former team will have to wait for another day as the Saints made the surprising choice to put Montgomery on injured reserve the following day. The scatback will be out a minimum of three weeks, leaving Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray to shoulder the burden of an offense absent star wideout Michael Thomas (ankle).

  • Status in question for Sunday

    Montgomery (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Packers, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery was free and clear of the Saints' practice report until Friday, when he was limited due to a hamstring injury. This may indicate an issue stemming from the session itself, but the reserve running back's status now will remain up in the air until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. An absence from Montgomery could pave the way for Dwayne Washington to earn his first snaps of the season, but the Saints backfield still is paced by Alvin Kamara, with Latavius Murray in…read more

  • Catches two passes in loss

    Montgomery caught two of three targets for 25 yards in the Saints' 34-24 loss to the Raiders on Monday.

    Analysis: Montgomery was used sparingly in this one, as he accounted for just his second and third touches of the season. Barring injuries, the third-stringer will likely struggle to take the field this season as he plays behind Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray.

  • Looking good in camp

    Montgomery was the standout on Day 3 of training camp, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery was signed in the offseason to provide depth at running back, but his versatility as a receiver gives his game an added layer that likely appeals to the Saints' coaching staff. His best season came in 2016 with Green Bay when he totaled 805 total yards and three scores while nabbing 44 passes. He's unlikely to see much work as a running back behind Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray, but it's possible he sees some work in the passing game given his skill set.

  • Fewer than 200 yards in 2019

    Montgomery played four offensive snaps and didn't touch the ball in the Week 17 season finale against Buffalo. He finishes the 2019 campaign with 32 carries for 103 yards and 13 catches for 90 yards.

    Analysis: Montgomery will hit free agency, but the 26-year-old running back's versatility should lead to no shortage of suitors if the Jets don't want him back. While he's not suited to be the focal point of an offense, Montgomery's ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, while also contributing in the return game on special teams, makes him a valuable depth piece.

  • Three touches in Week 16

    Montgomery rushed twice for seven yards and caught his lone target for one yard in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Montgomery didn't see much action while Le'Veon Bell was a workhorse against his former team, finishing with 29 touches. New York closes out the season with a Week 17 trip to Buffalo, where Montgomery should continue to split backup duties with Bilal Powell.

  • Backup duties in loss

    Montgomery recorded two carries for five yards and hauled in his only target for five yards during Thursday's 42-21 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Montgomery also returned four kickoffs for 93 yards, with a long of 34 yards. If Bilal Powell (ankle/illness) is forced to miss any more time, Montgomery will continue to serve as the top backup to Le'Veon Bell.

  • Serving as Bell's backup Thursday

    Montgomery (foot/hip) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: With Bilal Powell (ankle/illness) inactive, Montgomery is in line to serve as Le'Veon Bell's top backup Thursday night. In that role, he's a fantasy dart in deeper PPR formats.

  • Questionable for Thursday

    Montgomery (foot/hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Ravens, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Montgomery was limited in practice during the Jets' short week while tending to the two injuries. With Bilal Powell (ankle/illness) already ruled out for Week 15, Montgomery -- if cleared to play -- will likely serve as the top backup to No. 1 back Le'Veon Bell.

  • Remains limited Tuesday

    Montgomery (foot/hip) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough.

    Analysis: Like the rest of the injured or ill bodies in the Jets' backfield, Montgomery maintained his activity level as he toughs out foot and hip issues. There's a chance Montgomery serves as Le'Veon Bell's direct backup Thursday at Baltimore with Bilal Powell dealing with a combination of the flu and an ankle concern. If so, Montgomery could have some PPR viability, as he's hauled in 11 of his 15 targets in 13 contests this season while averaging 9.6 offensive snaps per game.

  • Limited Monday

    Montgomery (foot/hip) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's injury report.

    Analysis: On the heels of a season-high 12 touches for 61 yards from scrimmage this past Sunday versus the Dolphins, Montgomery is dealing with a pair of injuries. The increased usage was afforded to him by Le'Veon Bell's absence due to an illness, but the workhorse was back at the team facilities Monday and estimated as 'full' to begin Week 15 prep. Assuming Bell is himself by Thursday's game in Baltimore, Montgomery will revert to second or third on the depth chart, depending on the health of Bilal…read more

  • Could become Week 15 starter

    Montgomery rushed nine times for 31 yards and caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over Miami.

    Analysis: With Le'Veon Bell (illness) out, Montgomery got 12 touches to Bilal Powell's 21. Powell suffered an ankle injury on New York's final drive, and coach Adam Gase wasn't sure of the injury's severity after the game. New York faces a quick turnaround with another game coming up Thursday against the Ravens, and Montgomery would be in line for the start if neither Bell nor Powell can go. Bell is likely to be healthy by then, but this is certainly a situation worth monitoring.

  • Could benefit from Bell's absence

    Montgomery is expected to take on an increased snap count Sunday against the Dolphins with lead back Le'Veon Bell (illness) ruled out for the contest, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cimini notes that the second option on the Jets' depth chart, Bilal Powell, will likely see the most significant uptick in snaps/touches while Bell is sidelined, but there should still be some extra work to go around for Montgomery and Josh Adams as both players move up a spot in the pecking order. Montgomery, who has put up 114 total yards across 27 touches (19 carries, eight receptions) this season, still represents little more than a desperation play in the majority of fantasy leagues.

  • Two touches in Week 13

    Montgomery rushed once for seven yards and caught his lone target for one yard in Sunday's 22-6 loss to Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Montgomery has totaled more than 20 yards from scrimmage only once all season, and that was way back in Week 2. He remains locked into a third-string role behind Le'Veon Bell and Bilal Powell.

  • Six touches in blowout win

    Montgomery rushed five times for two yards and caught one of two targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Montgomery racked up some garbage-time touches, but he remains a non-factor as long as starting running back Le'Veon Bell is healthy.

  • Fewest touches of four RBs

    Montgomery rushed twice for 11 yards and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 34-17 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Recent practice squad call-up Josh Adams actually got two more carries than Montgomery, but all four Jets running backs were able to get some touches in this blowout win. The kick-return carousel continues to spin in New York, as Montgomery wasn't involved in that aspect of the game after getting some return opportunities in the previous game.

  • Back to returning kicks

    Montgomery didn't record a touch on offense but returned two kickoffs for 39 yards in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Le'Veon Bell got 18 carries and Bilal Powell recorded seven, while Montgomery's lone would-be carry was wiped off the board because the Jets instead accepted a defensive offside penalty on the play. On the bright side, Montgomery was reinstalled as the top option for returning kickoffs after ceding those duties to Vyncint Smith the previous week.

  • No touches again

    Montgomery didn't touch the ball in Sunday's 26-18 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Montgomery was held without a touch for the second consecutive game while Bilal Powell served as the backup running back with two carries. With New York preferring the combination of Vyncint Smith and Braxton Berrios in the return game, Montgomery has been left without a role altogether.
