Who Should I Start? Ty Johnson or Dylan Laube

Saturday, November 15, 12:35 AM

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson continues to operate out of a depth role and is not a reliable fantasy option. Johnson has been the clear No. 2 option behind James Cook this season, primarily checking into the game on occasional passing downs. He has 18 carries and 11 targets so far, ranking as the overall RB70 in PPR leagues. As long as the Bills continue to feed Cook a heavy dose of touches, Johnson and fellow running back Ray Davis will be non-factors in fantasy football. Johnson's only path to fantasy productivity is an injury to Cook, and even then, we could see Davis get the early-down work. The 28-year-old should be left on fantasy waivers in all leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Dylan Laube could be in line for a slight uptick in playing time this week against the Washington Commanders. Laube logged just 18% of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers but managed to catch two passes for 17 yards, flashing the receiving skills that made him a standout in college. Head coach Pete Carroll suggested the team may work him in more on offense after limiting him almost exclusively to special teams in Week 1. For now, Laube remains buried on the depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty and Zamir White, leaving him without any immediate fantasy value. Still, the fact that the Raiders are looking to carve out a role for him in the passing game is a positive sign for his long-term outlook.
