Yahoo fantasy football participants finally got their wish last week when Green Bay Packers running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery earned RB status, joining virtually every other major fantasy platform.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy believes Montgomery can handle a full workload at the position.
"I think you have to get past his number, No. 88 (jersey)," McCarthy said Wednesday, via ESPN. "He's a 225-pound, and he's physical."
McCarthy called Montgomery a "three-down back." He has been used as a running back in recent weeks with both Eddie Lacy and James Starks injured. However, Starks might return this week.
