Should I Start Ty Johnson?

Tuesday, September 29, 8:40 PM

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson made his season debut in Week 3, and he immediately made an impact with four catches for 50 receiving yards. It's no secret that Johnson is a talented pass-catcher out of the backfield, and he put his receiving skills on display as the Bills' No. 2 receiver in terms of yardage on Sunday. Given that he occupied just a 23% snap share, it's hard to guarantee that he'll be able to get on the fantasy radar as a low-end RB3/flex every single week. However, on a positive note, there's a decent amount of volume available for him in this potent Bills offense. Johnson is not the flashiest fantasy option for Week 4 against the Patriots, but managers in deeper leagues may feel comfortable streaming him in PPR formats, or at least stashing him on the bench to see if he can produce for two weeks in a row.
