Ty Johnson is Shaky Option for Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 5:29 PM

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson made his season debut during last week's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Johnson hauled in all four of his targets for 50 yards in the victory. He didn't do any damage on the ground, but he could get more involved with Ray Davis (hamstring) listed as questionable for this weekend. James Cook III remains the workhorse back in Buffalo, but Johnson might be able to carve out a role for himself in the backfield. Johnson could be someone worth stashing in deep leagues ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the New England Patriots. It's probably best to leave Johnson on the bench, but he could offer value down the road.

Braelon Allen Sets Career Highs in Win Over Browns

Sunday, October 11, 3:29 PM

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen set career highs in rushing attempts (24) and rushing yards (116) in a 17-12 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 5. Allen saw four targets in the passing game, but recorded just one reception for zero yards. With starter Breece Hall (quadriceps) out, Allen drew his second consecutive start and played 60 offensive snaps against the Browns. As long as Hall remains out of the lineup, Allen is a must-start player in most fantasy football formats. Even when Hall returns, Allen will remain a premium handcuff option.
