J. Montgomery - SP

NYY

Jordan Montgomery went four innings and allowed just a run in Game 4 of the ALDS on Thursday against the Rays.

Montgomery allowed three hits and struck out four, but he also walked three. The southpaw really had to battle in his first start since September 24, and was fortunate to come out of the third innings while allowing just a run. Credit where credit is due; he was able to get through that inning and got through the fourth inning without any trouble before exiting. All things considered, a successful -- if not pretty -- start from Montgomery. The Yankees have tied the series at 2-2, and if they’re able to win on Friday in the winner-take-all contest, Montgomery seems likely to start one of the first four games of the ALCS against the Astros.

J. Montgomery - SP

NYY

Jordan Montgomery is scheduled to start for the Yankees in Game 4 of the ALDS on Thursday against the Rays.

Gerrit Cole started Game 1 on Monday, Deivi Garcia and J.A. Happ piggybacked in Game 2 on Tuesday, and Masahiro Tanaka is handling Game 3 on Wednesday. That leaves Montgomery as the best option for what could be a decisive Game 4. The 27-year-old right-hander pitched to a somewhat uneven 5.11 ERA, 1.295 WHIP, and 47/9 K/BB ratio over 44 innings (10 starts) during the condensed 2020 regular season.

Jordan Montgomery fanned eight while allowing three runs in 5 1/3 innings Thursday against the Yankees.

Montgomery took the loss to perhaps finish the season 2-3 with a 5.11 ERA, though there is the chance he could pitch in relief Sunday. His 47/9 K/BB ratio with seven homers allowed in 44 innings gives him a FIP a run lower than his ERA, so there's reason to think he'll be considerably better next year.

Jordan Montgomery surrendered four runs over 4 2/3 innings but didn’t factor into the decision against the Red Sox on Friday.

Montgomery held the Red Sox scoreless until Christian Arroyo clubbed a three-run blast in the fourth inning. He was charged with another run after being pulled in the fifth. The southpaw struck out seven and walked a pair in the loss and now sits at 2-3 with a 5.12 ERA on the year. His final start of the regular season will come against the Blue Jays next week. There’s boom or bust potential here in fantasy leagues.

Jordan Montgomery struck out a career-high nine batters over 5 2/3 innings on Saturday in a no-decision against the Orioles.

The left-hander allowed just one unearned run on three hits and a walk on the afternoon. Hanser Alberto reached on a single in the sixth inning, advanced to second on an error, took third on a fly ball and then scored on an RBI singe by Ryan Mountcastle to produce the O's lone run. Montgomery only threw 72 pitches in the ballgame, 54 of those for strikes. He'll carry a 4.76 ERA and 1.29 WHIP into Friday's outing against the Red Sox in Boston.

Jordan Montgomery was lifted after allowing two runs and six hits in 3 1/3 innings Monday against the Blue Jays.

Well, that's a lot better than last time out, when he failed to survive the first against the Rays. It seems awfully early for it to happen, but perhaps he's hit the wall in what was supposed to be his first full year back from Tommy John surgery. The Yankees have the option of trying Clarke Schmidt or another youngster in his place.

Jordan Montgomery wound up with a no-decision against the Mets on Friday afternoon, after allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits over his five-plus innings of work.

The Yankees’ southpaw struck out six on the afternoon and didn’t walk a batter. He had cruised through five innings – allowing only an unearned run in the fifth, but was pulled after allowing back-to-back singles to start the sixth. That’s when Chad Green came on and ultimately served up a game-tying three-run homer to Pete Alonso. Montgomery will look to get back in the win column when he carries a 4.44 ERA and 1.07 WHIP into Wednesday’s matchup against the Rays.

Jordan Montgomery pitched 3 2/3 innings of one-run ball and struck out four before a rain delay ended his start against the Red Sox on Monday.

Montgomery was having a pretty easy time with things, throwing just 49 pitches (37 strikes) to get his 11 outs. Most likely, he would have come away with a win tonight if not for the delay.

Jordan Montgomery improved to 2-1 after allowing three runs over six innings Tuesday in the Yankees' 9-6 defeat of the Braves.

Montgomery allowed just one hit through 5 1/3 innings before giving up two straight singles followed by a three-run homer from Marcell Ozuna. He recovered to finish the inning at just 78 pitches for the night, but the Yankees saw no reason to push him any further in this one. He'll face the Red Sox for the second time this season in his next start. He beat them by allowing one run over 5 2/3 innings on July 31.

Jordan Montgomery will start Tuesday against the Braves.

This sets up Masahiro Tanaka to start on Wednesday. The starters for the Atlanta series were previously listed as TBA. Montgomery was tagged for five runs over four innings against the Phillies in his most recent start.

Jordan Montgomery was tagged for five runs in four innings by the Phillies on Thursday.

Montgomery was down 3-0 after facing four batters tonight, and while he did somewhat better from there, he never really settled into much of a groove. Montgomery remains a decent option as a sixth starter in mixed leagues. He'll get the Braves next time out.

J. Montgomery - SP

NYY

Jordan Montgomery pitched well in Friday's victory over the Red Sox, allowing just one run on five hits over 5 2/3 innings.

Montgomery fanned four on the night while walking one. The only blemish on his outing came on a solo shot off the bat of Michael Chavis in the third inning. Despite it being his first start of the season, the left-hander was still able to throw 81 pitches (52 strikes) and he shouldn't have any sort of pitch limitations moving forward. He'll do battle against the Orioles his next time out in Baltimore on Wednesday.

K. Sheffield - DB

ATL

Falcons CB Kendall Sheffield was forced from Atlanta's Week 8 win over the Panthers following his second concussion evaluation.

Sheffield returned from one evaluation only to require another. He has been an every-down player when not battling an ankle injury this season. Vaguely infamous veteran Blidi Wreh-Wilson is the next man up on the depth chart.

D. Jackson - DB

CAR

Panthers CB Donte Jackson aggravated his toe injury in Week 8 against the Falcons.

Announced as "questionable," Jackson was forced out in favor of Corn Elder. Jackson was having a rough night before going down, getting roasted by Julio Jones. He has 10 days to get healthy for Week 9 against the Chiefs.

R. Gage - WR

ATL

Russell Gage caught 2-of-3 targets for 25 yards in the Falcons' Week 8 win over the Panthers.

It was a disappointing effort on a night where Calvin Ridley missed over half the game with an ankle issue. Gage has just 18 total grabs after combining for 15 across Weeks 1 and 2. Ridley's potential Week 9 absence against the Broncos could put Gage in the WR4 mix, but he will still be third in line for targets behind Julio Jones and Hayden Hurst. There's not much here outside the deepest of PPR leagues.

B. Hill - RB

ATL

Brian Hill rushed 11 times for 55 yards in the Falcons' Week 8 win over the Panthers, adding two receptions for nine additional yards.

The 13 touches were a new season high for Hill on an evening where he got some extended first half run as the Falcons seemed displeased with Todd Gurley. Hill out-rushed Gurley 55-46 despite handling seven fewer carries. Gurley was not targeted in the passing game this evening, and made another late-game mistake when he went out of bounds as the Falcons attempted to kill the clock. Hill, who has now handled 10-plus touches in 2-of-3 games, could see his increased recent usage become the norm. The Broncos are on tap for Week 9.

I. Thomas - TE

CAR

Ian Thomas caught 3-of-3 targets for 28 yards in the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Falcons.

Both the catches and yards were new season highs for the lightly-targeted seam stretcher. There was summer hope that Thomas could have some TE1/2 appeal in the Panthers' high-volume offense, but tonight was the first time since Week 4 he had drawn more than a single look. It's just not happening.

H. Hurst - TE

ATL

Hayden Hurst caught 5-of-7 targets for 54 yards in the Falcons' Week 8 win over the Panthers.

Hurst has now reached 50 yards in 4-of-5 games, including each of his past three. He could have had a bigger night but was the victim of some inaccurate Matt Ryan passes, one he turned into a highlight reel shoe-string grab. With Calvin Ridley departing with an ankle injury, Hurst could be needed for more volume in Week 9 against the Broncos. Regardless of Ridley's status, Hurst has locked himself in as a back-end TE1.

R. Anderson - WR

CAR

Robby Anderson caught 5-of-8 targets for 48 yards in the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Falcons.

Anderson also drew an eight-yard DPI in the game's opening minutes. Anderson once again led the Panthers in targets, but tonight was his lowest yardage output of the season. The Panthers have been trying to get Curtis Samuel more involved since his Week 7 return, though Anderson still has 16 targets over his past two games. He is a bona fide top-18 option at receiver. Week 9 opponent Kansas City is really limiting enemy passing game production, but there is always fantasy upside for teams that must chase points against the Chiefs colossus.

M. Davis - RB

CAR

Mike Davis rushed 13 times for 66 yards in the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Falcons, adding an 11-yard reception.

It was a nice bounce-back effort for Davis on the ground after back-to-back duds. Making what will be probably be his final start before Christian McCaffrey's (ankle) seemingly inevitable Week 9 return, Davis was held to three or fewer passing game targets for the second time in three weeks. Davis has eight grabs over his past three contests after reaching that number three times in his first four appearances. Davis has been everything fantasy managers could have hoped for as a plug-and-play CMC replacement, but whatever coach Matt Rhule claims, his role is going to disappear upon McCaffrey's return. He can already be dropped if you're desperate to create roster space.
