Ty Johnson at Las Vegas — Limited Role Despite Shootout Potential
Serving behind James Cook III and Ray Davis in Buffalo's backfield, Johnson continues to function primarily as a passing-down specialist. He has proven reliable when called upon, securing all six of his targets for 81 yards over his last two games as a checkdown valve.
Buffalo travels to Las Vegas for what projects to be a high-scoring matchup, but Johnson's standalone opportunity remains very narrow. We project him for roughly 5.9 fantasy points on around two receptions and two carries. Given his 2% roster rate, fantasy managers should keep him on benches outside of deep PPR leagues.

Kenny Gainwell vs. Steelers — Complementary Work Keeps Outlook Muted
Kenny Gainwell operates as a complementary back behind Bucky Irving in Tampa Bay's committee backfield, sharing change-of-pace duties with Sean Tucker. Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson noted plans to keep Gainwell involved on passing downs, though he has handled just seven carries and six targets over his last two contests.
Facing a disciplined Pittsburgh defense in an expected low-scoring matchup, Gainwell carries a narrow path to standalone fantasy value. With quarterback Baker Mayfield doubtful, the offense could struggle to sustain drives. We project Gainwell for roughly 38 total yards on five carries and two to three catches (7.6 fantasy points), leaving him as a deep-league PPR flex or bench stash.
