Saints WR/RB Ty Montgomery will play RB in Week 17 vs. the Panthers as a result of Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray both being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. (Jay Glazer on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
The Saints’ coaching staff has been throwing a lot of praise in Montgomery’s direction in recent weeks and now he’ll get a chance to lead the backfield in Week 17 with both Kamara and Murray out as a result of COVID protocols. Montgomery makes for an attractive option in DFS and for those with championship games in Week 17.
