Who Should I Start? Tyler Johnson or Devontez Walker

Saturday, September 13, 11:28 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Tyler Johnson is slated to command an elevated workload in this Sunday's home matchup with the Buffalo Bills. Johnson - like many of New York's receiving options - picked up minimal work in last weekend's loss to the Steelers. He pulled in both looks for 31 yards, but was a distant third in snapshare (33) behind teammates Garrett Wilson (64) and Josh Reynolds (hamstring [62]). Reynolds will miss Week 2's meeting with Buffalo, meaning Johnson should see an uptick in snaps. Even with the projected increase in work, the University of Minnesota product could fall victim to his team's desire to establish the run. Quarterback Justin Fields attempted only 22 passes in Week 1, and the Baltimore Ravens put up 40 points on Buffalo while Lamar Jackson threw it just 19 times. Johnson is RotoBaller's PPR WR137 in this week's ranks.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker bounced back from a catch-less preseason debut to lead all of their pass-catchers in the 31-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The former fourth-round pick caught six of his eight targets for 61 yards (10.2 yards per catch). Four of his targets came on the Ravens' second drive, and he contributed 25 yards to lead to a field goal eventually. Walker has been showing some great catching ability, even when it happens after the whistle, despite the below-average quarterback play from Cooper Rush and Devin Leary this preseason. Walker likely won't crack the top three unless someone gets hurt, but he could make some strides for the future.
