Last night, #Packers RB Ty Montgomery left early with a foot injury. But post-game, coach Mike McCarthy said, “I'm told it's nothing of a serious nature."

This is good news, as Montgomery is slated to potentially be the third-down/no-huddle back in the Packers offense behind Jamaal Williams, with Aaron Jones suspended for two games. It appears though that Williams, who the coaching staff has praised all offseason and preseason, will get the first crack at being the starter.

Packers reporter Rob Demovsky has consistently predicted that RB Aaron Jones could eventually emerge as the most dynamic back in the trio once he returns from a two-game suspension.

Williams should start the year as Green Bay's workhorse, with the more versatile Montgomery as the no-huddle/two-minute back, the story said. If you can get him later in drafts, Jones should certainly have some stash value until his suspension is over.

Based on how snaps were divided during OTA and minicamp practices it once again became apparent that Ty Montgomery remains a significant part of coach Mike McCarthy’s running-back-by-committee plan.

"I feel really good about the running back group," McCarthy said. "I think Ty’s transition has been pretty special. Not only what he’s done from a position change but you look what he’s done to prepare himself -- you look at his body and the added muscle that he’s put on. Ty and just the other young guys, I think it’s going to be a very, very competitive position."

The story went on to say no one will talk about reps, but early in camp 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. Jones, who must serve a two-game suspension to the start the season, dropped out after two practices with a hamstring injury. It appears Monty will have more value in PPR formats this season.

Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones has been suspended for the first two games of the 2018 NFL regular season for violating the league's Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse. Jones will be eligible to return in Week 3 when Green Bay faces Washington.

With Jones out of the picture for the first two weeks, Green Bay’s three-man backfield is down to two. Jamaal Williams figures to start, but Ty Montgomery will likely come in on passing downs and could overtake Williams with a strong camp. Montgomery is the better runner, but Williams is solid between the tackles and in pass protection.

Packers RB Aaron Jones has also focused on building up his body after dealing with knee injuries that dimmed some of the promise he showed early in the 2017 season. Running backs coach Ben Sirmans wanted Jones to focus on building his lower body and Jones said that he’s already seen a difference.

Jones said he got bigger all around, which will help in pass protection. Helping in pass protection could also get him on the field more, because, keep in mind, the Packers are planning a committee at RB this year so roles will likely need to be sorted out.

Don’t expect any one running back to carry the load in Green Bay this season.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the demands of the position are such that running backs Jamaal Williams, Ty Montgomery, and Aaron Jones will all be better off if none of them get too many carries.

“The fact of the matter is we’re going to go running back by committee,” McCarthy told ESPN. “But if one of them would emerge as that full-time guy then you have to have that ability to...adjust to that."

Things can change quickly in the NFL. Just because the Packers are planning to do this now, in June, it doesn't mean that's how things will end up come September. However, it doesn't make fantasy life easy for those drafting sooner than later. In PPR leagues, we currently have Williams ranked as our No. 45 RB, Montgomery is our No. 51 ranked RB, and Jones comes in as our No. 54 ranked RB. Williams and Jones sport 10th-round ADPs, while Montgomery is being drafted, on average, in the 14th round.

If it wasn’t clear then, it is now: Williams is the Packers’ workhorse running back—even with fellow rookie Aaron Jones back from his knee injury.

And with quarterback Aaron Rodgers' return from his broken collarbone set for Sunday at the Carolina Panthers, there couldn’t be a better time for the Packers to have found their man in the backfield.

This makes Aaron Jones an option to drop redraft leagues, unless you want to handcuff Williams. As for Williams, he's locked in as an RB1 rest of season, who is also getting a huge QB upgrade this week with the return of Aaron Rodgers.
