X-rays negative for Lions RB David Montgomery (ribs)

Oct 16, 2023

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (ribs) was ruled out versus the Buccaneers. Montgomery's X-rays were negative, per Fox's Pam Oliver.

Related players: Jahmyr Gibbs, Craig Reynolds

Fantasy Impact:

Montgomery left owners disappointed after leaving early in Week 6. The Lions were forced to go with Reynolds as the RB1 with Gibbs also out of action. Monty may just be dealing with a pain and comfort issue heading into Week 7 with the injured ribs, so owners will want to monitor his practice status. The Lions are at the Ravens next week in an early Sunday matchup, so we'll have a good idea by then about Montgomery's status. Even after leaving Week 6 with just six carriers, Monty is still averaging over 23 carries per game this season.

49ers QB Brock Purdy day to day with sore shoulder

Pro Football Talk

yesterday · 7:37 PM EST

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy injured his shoulder in the 20-17 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Coach Kyle Shanahan told beat reporters that Purdy is day-to-day with shoulder soreness.

Related players: Brandon Allen, Joshua Dobbs

Fantasy Impact:

The 49ers will release their first practice report Wednesday so owners will want to keep a close look as the week progresses. Purdy rushed for 40 yards and a diving touchdown on five carries, and he took two sacks and four additional hits in the pocket, the story pointed out. The Niners play in the later window on Sunday at Green Bay.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb active for MNF

The Cowboys will have star receiver CeeDee Lamb, who is active. He popped up on the injury report Saturday with a back injury.

Lamb has 59 receptions for 681 yards and four touchdowns this season.

Fantasy Impact:

Owners will have to hope for the best with Cooper Rush at QB tonight. Last week Lamb was targeted 10 times, and that should hopefully continue tonight, but the Eagles held him to a line of 6-21-0.

WR Tyquan Thornton signs with Chiefs practice squad

Source: Former Patriots WR Tyquan Thornton is signing with the Chiefs practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

As Rapoport pointed out, it's a fresh start for the former second-round pick from the 2022 draft class who was waived Saturday. Any time the Chiefs make a move on offense it's worth note in terms of fantasy. That's not to say Thornton is going to step in and be a factor anytime soon, but he may be worth a stash in dynasty leagues if he happens to be on your wire.
