Outlook Ty Johnson
Ty Johnson at NYJ — Limited Pass-Catching Role in High-Scoring Matchup
Healthy heading into this divisional road matchup against the Jets, Johnson continues to operate behind James Cook III and Ray Davis in Buffalo's backfield. While he rarely sees meaningful early-down carries, he has carved out a reliable niche on passing downs, catching all five of his targets for 55 receiving yards over his last two games.
Even in an expected high-scoring contest with the surging Bills heavily favored, a positive game script is far more likely to feed late-game carries to the lead runners than generate extra checkdowns for Johnson. Fantasy managers have largely left him on waivers across most formats, and our weekly PPR projection of roughly 7.1 points on about 30 receiving yards keeps him firmly on the bench outside of desperate deep-league lineups.

Outlook Jordan Watkins
Emerging Downfield Threat Enters High-Scoring Matchup in Dallas
Watkins is coming off a breakout outing, catching all four of his targets for 86 yards and his first career touchdown while flashing downfield chemistry with Brock Purdy. Even with Christian Kirk recently landing on injured reserve, Watkins is listed behind veteran starters Keenan Allen, Mike Evans, and Deebo Samuel Sr. in San Francisco's crowded receiver rotation.
Waiver interest has ticked upward following his big performance, yet fantasy managers are still leaving him on the bench in almost every league. Despite an appealing road matchup in Dallas that projects as a high-scoring shootout, our models peg Watkins for just 4.9 fantasy points and roughly 24 receiving yards. View him strictly as a deep-league bench stash until he proves he can command consistent weekly volume.
