Ty Montgomery working as Packers' third-down back
Green Bay Packers running back Ty Montgomery has worked as the team's third-down back early in training camp, writes ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky.
"[Jamaal] Williams has gotten the bulk of the work with the starters during normal down-and-distance situations while Montgomery has handled the two-minute and no-huddle drives where his receiving skills could come back into play," Demovsky notes. Aaron Jones, who will serve a two-game suspension to start the season and is currently sidelined by a hamstring injury, will likely compete with Williams for early-down work once he returns, but Montgomery may be locked-in for passing downs.
numberFire's models currently project Montgomery to total 295.2 yards and 3.30 touchdowns on the ground while also catching 42.0 passes for 328.1 yards and 1.65 touchdowns. He's the RB38 in our preseason fantasy rankings.
