With Julio out, I'm basically down to Montgomery, Michael Thomas, or Tate as my WR2. Thomas is still iffy, and he has Arizona this week (would he draw Peterson?). That being said, over the last 5 weeks, Arizona has given up the 5th most points to WRs, although I suspect those points are for WRs Peterson doesn't cover.
I had to dump for other reasons. I was 1 hour too late to pick him back up. I would have started him if I had him this week
I believed in him. I just couldn't believe in the Packers "brain trust" for recognizing their offense is much better when they utilize him. We all know it, but they apparently couldn't figure it out. Because of that he was a risky play. I was contemplating picking him up and starting him over Cooper. I didn't. And now I'm sure the team I'm playing in the Championship will get him. Sucks when you have a short bench and don't want to drop someone who your competition could pick up and start against you.
I believed in him too. Problem was he's only a WR in our league and if he's only playing RB for the Packers his floor is really low. If he puts up a decent RB day of say 80 yards and a couple of catches that's not horrible for a RB but if you need an upside play at WR that's not looking so hot. 10 points in PPR isn't anything great at all at WR. He was sitting on the WW in my league (tight roster limits so a few decent players are still out there) and I needed a WR but one with a higher ceiling. I passed on Montgomery because I was worried about the low floor. Went JJ Nelson. Team in first place sits Britt and grabs Montgomery and that's why he's the team in first place this year.
yea that's my problem with him also, really need him to get a RB tag for next week. Not going to happen, I emailed the site a couple weeks back asking
We discussed it in my league (I'm co-commish). I don't think you can make a position change like that in Week 15. Not fair at this point. Others may have wanted him if he was a RB and it definitely impacts things now.yea that's my problem with him also, really need him to get a RB tag for next week.

Started Adams over him thinking exactly what you wrote out above....
Ah... Yahoo and ESPN both have him as a RB/WR... and Yahoo held out what seemed like forever. I think NFL.com also has him as a RB. Hell, the Packers own depth chart has him as a RB.
MFL said they won't change positions mid season and it will be up to individual commissioners to adjust it in their leagues.
If it was okay for the regular season and playoffs, it's okay for the championship. If it was such an issue, it should've been handled sooner. Can't strip eligibility the week of the championship and leave you trying to scramble to find someone to replace him.
Exactly...unless it's an extreme situation you don't change rules in the middle of the season (let alone for just the championship)...
My counter argument is that you should win next week, collect your money, and don't go anywhere near that commish again.
The issue is that the fantasy sites have resisted changing Montgomery's position. The Packer site clearly shows him listed as a RB: http://www.packers.com/team/players.html
And McCarthy clearly stated that Montgomery is a RB.

- He looked awfully good in week 15.
Hope you're right about him. I didn't watch his game. What if Adams doesn't drop those 2 TDs? Are we still viewing him as an almost must start...
I'm glad that the Packers finally are using him. I would roll with him this week, but have a really hard time starting him over Le'Veon, McCoy or Howard, even though I think he could outscore all of them. I think the drawback is that we saw how good the offense looked with him, but then he wasn't utilized very much for a while. Even with the Sickle Cell, he was on the field and wasn't being utilized. I'm thinking it's a trust issue for many at this point. Is the team going to stick with him or try to get fancy and do something else again?
I'd start him over Howard but that's just my call and no not me being a homer. I like Howard a lot.
It's funny because he was WR only in NFL.com. Now he's RB only. I would probably start him over Amari Cooper this week if I could start him at WR. So we're at different positions. It's Super Bowl week and decisions like this shouldn't be so hard. Never bench your studs, but I would consider sitting Bell against Baltimore for him. I can't and I won't, but I feel like I'm going to regret it. I think Ty has a good chance to have a great game. But then again, I'm of the belief that division games are played differently and just because Minnesota fell apart last week, doesn't necessarily mean they will this week.I'd start him over Howard but that's just my call and no not me being a homer. I like Howard a lot.
I wish I had the option of Montgomery at RB. In my league he's WR-only and I just think that comes with a huge amount of risk which stinks given what he clearly has shown he can do.
Agreed. I only play PPR so I'm only viewing through that lens.
But yeah in standard he's not as risky at WR as he in PPR.
That's a great point. I don't think Montgomery has the return talent that Lockett does (or Tyreek Hill to name other player like that) but that's a very good point.
This is the dilemma I have. I can sit him for Jeffrey or Hopkins. Non PPR....
But, you really can't sit him, right? You've gotta choose to bench either Hopkins or Jeffery. It's almost a guarantee Ty gets more touches than either of them, and that's what matters in Non PPR/Standard leagues. I'd bench Alshon vs Josh Norman. Nuk finally seemed to get things going once Savage was in.
