Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Diontae Johnson

Sunday, September 17, 6:53 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had a career-low day on the ground for fantasy managers in a tough matchup against the Bills on Sunday, carrying the ball nine times for -2 yards while catching five-of-six through the air for 51 yards. It was the first time since the NFL's merger that the previous season's rushing champion finished with negative yardage on the ground, according to Elias Sports. Jacobs will hope to rebound against the Steelers next week.

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) and running back Anthony McFarland Jr. (knee) on Injured Reserve on Monday and promoted running back Qadree Ollison from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster in a corresponding move. Johnson will now have to miss four games after injuring his hamstring in the Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Pittsburgh also has a bye in Week 6, so the 27-year-old could return in Week 7 in a matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Fantasy managers should attempt to stash Johnson for now, as the 27-year-old should be heavily involved in the passing game once he's healthy again. In the meantime, George Pickens, Allen Robinson II and Calvin Austin III will be the team's three starting wideouts. Tight end Pat Freiermuth should also see an uptick in targets.
