Ty Montgomery injury update: How to handle Packers RB vs. Cowboys
Ty Montgomery has a tricky rib injury he’s working through.

Despite spending the early part of his career at wide receiver, Montgomery has flourished in the backfield since moving there in the middle of last season. His receiving skills make him especially valuable in PPR leagues, as he’s caught 18 passes in essentially three games this season.
However, Montgomery suffered a rib injury early in Green Bay’s Week 5 win over the Chicago Bears. It was initially thought to be a multi-week injury, but now there’s a chance he plays in Week 6.
Fantasy advice: If Montgomery plays this week, he faces a Cowboys defense allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to running backs over the last three weeks. Even if he is a surprise active, keep Montgomery benched this week.
