After his heavy Week 1 workload, managers may want Montgomery. Montgomery managers should sell high now because his worth will certainly decline over the year.

The New Orleans Saints have struggled to get Michael Thomas healthy for years.

In his long-awaited comeback in Week 1, he had seven targets, second on the squad. This may excite management that he may return to NFL productivity as a wide receiver.
