Who Should I Start? Tyler Johnson or Bryce Oliver

Saturday, September 6, 7:00 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Tyler Johnson was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday. Johnson failed to make the 53-man roster and was added to the practice squad. Now, Johnson will be elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 1 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last season, Johnson hauled in 26 receptions for 291 receiving yards and one touchdown across 15 games with the Los Angeles Rams. He'll provide depth to the wide receiver room, but is unlikely to make a significant impact during Sunday's game. Johnson can be avoided in fantasy formats for the moment.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Bryce Oliver hauled in three passes for 52 yards and two touchdowns in the last preseason win over New Orleans. It was a mini breakout for the undrafted pass-catcher out of Youngstown State, who was having a quiet game until quarterback Malik Willis started looking his way in the fourth quarter, which led to two scores, along with the game-winner with 1:25 remaining. Oliver was not expected to compete for an active roster spot, but this performance definitely gives general manager Ran Carthon something to think about. Even so, with Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins, Treylon Burks, Tyler Boyd, Kyle Philips, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine having locked up roster spots at WR, it's tough to see a situation in which Oliver ends up on the active 53-man roster for the Titans. He is nowhere near any fantasy radar heading into the 2024-25 season.
