Tyler Johnson to Act as Jets' WR1?

Wednesday, November 12, 8:56 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Tyler Johnson is due for an elevated workload in Week 11's road clash with the New England Patriots. The sixth-year pro notched back-to-back three-catch efforts ahead of his bye week, posting at least 60 yards in each contest, although he failed to reel in his lone target in last weekend's win over the Browns, while Justin Fields netted 42 passing yards. Things won't be much easier against their division rivals, considering New England has allowed the sixth-fewest points (19.2) and eighth-fewest yards (306.2) per game. Johnson might be an ok flier in DFS formats, but shouldn't be on fantasy managers' radars in conventional lineup leagues. Even with the suspected uptick in volume, an up-and-down Jets' offense limits the 27-year-old's ceiling. He'll wind up as RotoBaller's PPR WR77 for his outing with the Patriots.

Barion Brown's Absence Could Hint at Potential Role

Saturday, August 22, 6:24 PM

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Barion Brown did not play in the 34-0 preseason loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Brown had a standout training camp and spent time with the first-team offense this summer. While an injury to the sixth-round pick is possible, the team may also have been unwilling to risk him given their injuries in the receiver room. With first-round pick Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) expected to miss time during the regular season and Mason Tipton still on the PUP list, Brown may have a role this season. The rookie receiver caught all four targets for 53 yards in last week's preseason loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, while playing the most snaps among active receivers. While Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele should be the lead receivers early in the season, Brown could carve out a full-time workload if he has a strong start.
