Who Should I Start? Ty Johnson or Jaydon Blue

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson does not boast fantasy appeal in Week 13 despite operating as the primary handcuff to backfield mate James Cook. The 28-year-old has actually seen his role in the passing game remain steady since Week 9, collecting at least two targets and receptions over the four-game sample. Still, he's failed to carry the ball more than twice in any game over that stretch, and has done so just twice on the season as a whole, with Cook handily leading the backfield. Furthermore, quarterback Josh Allen has more than tripled Johnson's carry total (70-21), leaving little volume left to go around on the ground. Johnson is worthy of a stash in the deepest of PPR formats for his stable work in the receiving game, but his floor is low, and the ceiling is nearly nonexistent. He's RotoBaller's PPR RB64 ahead of Week 13.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue impressed the coaching staff in training camp and the preseason, leading to him being a late-round dart throw in fantasy football drafts. Blue has been unable to carry over that momentum during the summer into his first NFL season, though, as he's been active for only four games in 2025. The 21-year-old fifth-round selection out of Texas didn't make his debut until Week 5, and he has been a healthy scratch in four consecutive games since he fumbled the ball away in the team's Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos. It seemed as though Blue had a clear path to RB2 duties after Miles Sanders had season-ending knee surgery, but Malik Davis has ascended the depth chart behind starter Javonte Williams instead. In his four games this year, Blue has only 22 carries for 65 yards (3.0 yards per carry) and no touchdowns. Blue should only be stashed in keeper/dynasty leagues.
