Ty Johnson News
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.

Kaelon Black News
Friday, October 2, 11:57 PM
San Francisco 49ers running back Kaelon Black saw a healthy 38.5% snap share in the first two games of the season. The 49ers had both contests well in hand early on, allowing them to get Black involved frequently as a means of managing Christian McCaffrey's workload. When the Cardinals proved surprisingly pesky in Week 3, San Francisco leaned on their star at the expense of the rookie, who saw just eight snaps to CMC's 45. That pattern may follow in Week 4, when the 49ers take on the Denver Broncos, who have engineered fourth-quarter comebacks in each of the last two weeks. On the plus side, the Broncos have been soft against the run so far in 2026, giving up the third-highest yards per carry and highest EPA per rush attempt. Black is projected as a borderline RB4/5 for Week 4. Fantasy managers may want to look for an option with more certain playing time before plugging Black into their lineups.
