Who Should I Start? Brock Bowers or Kaleb Johnson

Friday, September 26, 2:50 PM

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers looks primed for a breakout performance after logging a full week of practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Bears. Despite battling a knee injury early in the season, the All-Pro talent has still hauled in 14 receptions for 179 yards, showcasing his ability to produce even when less than 100 percent. Now fully healthy, Bowers should return to his role as the centerpiece of the Raiders passing attack against a Chicago defense that has struggled to contain the passing game. He enters Week 4 as the overall TE1 option and is a must-start in all formats.

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Kaleb Johnson had his best chance yet for a breakout game in Week 4 with Steelers RB1 Jaylen Warren (knee) sidelined by a knee injury. However, Johnson remained stuck behind veteran back Kenneth Gainwell, who logged 134 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 25 total touches against the Minnesota Vikings. Johnson had just six carries for 22 yards, and has recorded just eight carries for 21 yards on the season. Pittsburgh has a bye in Week 5, and Warren may be ready to return in Week 6 for the Steelers' matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Even if Warren remains out, there's little reason to think Johnson would be set to jump Gainwell on the running back depth chart in Pittsburgh. The 22-year-old rookie maintains fantasy appeal in dynasty leagues, but he's tough to roster with any confidence in redraft formats.
