What It Means:

Montgomery missed last week due to knee and ankle issues, but he was only listed with an ankle injury on Wednesday's practice report. Montgomery will likely need to return to practice by Friday to be able to play versus the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. Khalil Herbert cleared 100 yards on 20 touches last week while Trestan Ebner handled the other eight running back opportunities. Expect a similar scenario on Sunday if Montgomery misses another game.

As of now, Montgomery is the RB15 in numberFire's Week 5 rankings and our models project him for 12.7 FanDuel points. The Vikings are allowing the fifth-most FanDuel points per game to the running back position this season. Last week, Herbert registered a 77.8% offensive snap share and he had 19 of the 25 team running back carries.
