Who Should I Start? Tyler Johnson or Chris Olave

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.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) is officially listed as questionable for Week 14's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Olave was held out of Wednesday's practice before being a limited participant on Thursday and Friday, a similar progression to last week when he was ultimately able to suit up against the Miami Dolphins. The 25-year-old didn't seem affected by the injury last week, posting his normal route share and recording four catches for 47 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in the loss to Miami. He is trending toward playing through the injury again and profiles as a top-10 wide receiver option for Sunday's matchup against the division-rival Buccaneers. In the first meeting with Tampa on Oct. 26, Olave had eight catches on 12 targets for 63 yards.
