Ty Montgomery (RB, BAL) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Once again, we have encountered a sudden change in direction regarding which Raven backs will be involved in touch distribution. Not only did oft-injured third-year back Kenneth Dixon resurface for the first time since Week 1, but Ty Montgomery supplied owners in PPR leagues with even greater incentive to secure him for their rosters. During Baltimore's last two matchups, he has generated 161 total yards on 19 touches. He also received a team-high seven targets in Week 13 against Atlanta, while collecting five of those passes for 42 yards.

Gus Edwards has performed as Baltimore’s primary rusher during the team’s last three contests (61 carries) but has yet to register a reception during that span. His usage may be reduced as the result of the game script this week because the Ravens must contend with the highly-explosive Kansas City offense at Arrowhead. That makes it highly feasible that Montgomery will collect targets and receptions during the matchup, as the Ravens should be playing from behind. This elevates him into status among this week’s preferred roster additions.
