Ty Montgomery, RB, Green Bay Packers

DraftKings Price: $6,900
Projected Points: 17.2

The Green Bay Packers are hosting the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3 and have the fourth-highest implied team total (26.50 points). Even better for Ty Montgomery is the fact that the Packers are 8.5-point favorites.

Being large home favorites with a high implied total can often lead to a very favorable game script. With the Packers likely playing with a lead for most of the game, Montgomery should rack up a significant number of touches -- he currently has a 94.8% snap share through the first two weeks of the NFL season.

Our models project Montgomery to score 17.2 points on DraftKings, which is the sixth-highest total for a running back. Out of the projected top-10 running backs, he is the only runner playing on a team that is at home and favored.

He offers a high floor, as evidenced by his 10 receptions for 114 yards to go along with his 89 rushing yards and 3 total touchdowns. He will be in a positive game script with an incredibly high snap share, and although he isn't necessarily priced like a stud, he should be treated like one and has a great chance to keep his stock rising in Week 3.
