It seemed like we were headed the right way with injuries, but a few popped up mid-week and now have fantasy owners concerned. It’s a tough thing for us ranking players, particularly when it comes to someone like David Montgomery, who’s now considered a game-time decision with his game not being played until Sunday night. In situations like that, I’d recommend you take the safe route in most situations. If you’re deciding between him and someone who’s going to get 8-12 touches, play the 8-12 touch guy. If you’re looking at a backup running back and hoping to hit a home run, wait it out with Montgomery. Here are the injuries you need to know about heading into Week 11.
