Who Should I Start? Phillip Dorsett or Tyler Johnson

Wednesday, July 23, 9:18 AM

Free agent defensive back Jamal Adams and wide receiver Phillip Dorsett signed a contract with the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday. Adams is a three-time Pro Bowl safety and is reunited with Pete Carroll in Las Vegas. The 29-year-old reportedly is in great shape heading into camp and did have some of his better years while playing under Carroll in Seattle. Adams racked up seven tackles over five games with the Lions and Titans last season. The former New York Jet provides the Raiders more depth in the secondary but is not on the fantasy radar for IDP leagues. As for Dorsett, he hasn't caught a pass in the NFL since 2023 and will need to have a standout camp to make the roster. In his career, the 32-year-old has racked up 151 receptions for 2,001 yards and 12 touchdowns with six different teams over eight NFL seasons. Dorsett is a non-factor in fantasy, even if he does make the Raiders as a depth piece.

New York Jets wide receiver Tyler Johnson won't be on the fantasy radar for his team's home matchup in Week 7 with the Carolina Panthers. Johnson is set to rack up extra playing time this weekend, with teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) expected to miss the outing with a knee injury. Despite the increased involvement, Johnson can't be trusted by owners to supply viable fantasy production, as he's compiled just four receptions on seven targets (63 yards) across five appearances in the campaign. With Wilson on the mend, a majority of the vacated targets should go to fellow WR Josh Reynolds, while running back Breece Hall and rookie tight end Mason Taylor figure to absorb the rest. Outside of desperation, Johnson isn't in play, coming in as RotoBaller's PPR WR96 ahead of Week 7.
