Le'Veon Bell may 'share load' with Jets' Ty Montgomery early
New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell may "share the load" with Ty Montgomery early in the season, writes ESPN's Rich Cimini.
What It Means:
Bell may be rusty to start the year after sitting out all of 2018, so Cimini believes the Jets will lean on "terrific backup" Montgomery early on while Bell returns to form. The 26-year-old back only averaged 3.46 yards per carry in the first three games of 2017 after holding out all of training camp.
Bell is the RB6 in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings. Our models expect him to record 263.2 carries for 1,184.4 yards and 7.40 touchdowns, and catch 64.8 passes for 596.1 yards and 3.08 touchdowns.
