Week 8 Waiver Wire Gems

Ty Johnson – RB Detroit Lions (4% owned)

Kerryon Johnson left Week 7’s contest against the Vikings with a knee injury, and rookie Ty Johnson stepped in.  Ty Johnson has been the secondary running back all year, but now he will be thrust into a top role. On Sunday Ty Johnson rushed 10 times for 29 yards and caught 4 passes for 28 yards.  Kerryon will be missing at least a few weeks, so Ty should be added in all leagues as a volume based back.
