The Packers placed Ty Montgomery (ribs/wrist) on Injured Reserve.

Montgomery’s season is over, and he’s reportedly undergoing wrist surgery. After an outstanding start to the season in which Montgomery looked like he was going to be an elite fantasy superstar with his blend of rushing and receiving ability, he battled injuries and could never get back on track. Montgomery’s season finishes with 71 carries for 273 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns along with 23 receptions for 173 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown in eight games played. The status of Green Bay’s backfield for 2018 is still very much in the air, but if anyone gets the majority of work it’d lead to huge fantasy value. Montgomery has shown he can be a big factor out of the backfield for the Packers, but injuries have been a problem.

Chris Moore caught three passes for 32 yards in Week 13.

Moore also rushed once for negative-four yards. With Breshad Perriman not emerging, Moore has stepped up as the team’s third receiver over the past two weeks with three receptions and 30+ yards in each game. Still, he’s not a fantasy option in Week 14 against the Steelers.

Cameron Brate (hip) is questionable for Sunday against the Packers.

Brate apparently had the hip issue pop up during the week, but at least he practiced on a limited basis yesterday and today. He’ll probably end up playing and gets a boost with Jameis Winston back in the lineup, but there are probably better options for your TE spot considering Brate hasn’t been a huge part of the offense lately.

Jeremy Maclin caught four passes for 41 yards in Sunday’s win over the Lions.

Maclin has struggled to get on the same page with Joe Flacco after a brief midseason surge, but the two could get hot down the stretch as Flacco transforms into the playoff version of himself. Consider Maclin a decent FLEX for the first week of the fantasy playoffs when the Ravens travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers.

DeSean Jackson (foot) is questionable for Week 13.

Jackson was limited in practice this week, but it’s not a serious injury that he’s dealing with. The fast veteran receiver would have some upside in lineups against Green Bay if he’s active, but check in on Sunday to find out his status.

Mike Wallace has big day in win over Detroit.

Wallace caught five passes for 116 yards in the 44-20 victory. The deep threat had a 66-yard reception and showed good chemistry with Joe Flacco in the quarterback’s best game of the year. Wallace is suddenly someone to consider with the fantasy playoffs beginning, as the passing attack is rounding into form as Flacco gets closer to the postseason. The Ravens play the Steelers on SNF in Week 14, and Wallace went for 6/55/1 against them earlier in the season.

Alex Collins (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday.

Collins was a full participant in practice yesterday and today, so his chances of playing against the Lions look good right now. The only way Collins won’t play is if he suffers some type of setback with the calf, but we fully expect him to be out there on Sunday.
