Should You Start or Sit Johnson in Week 10?
It was good to see Juwan Johnson find the end zone for the first time since Week 2, but I’m not labeling any good vibes from last week as transferable with Tyler Shough under center.
His average depth of target was dialed back to 5.8 yards last week, and that increases the point expectancy of each look. I just worry about the volume part of that equation as a part of an offense that struggles to move the ball with any level of consistency.
Rashid Shaheed seems to have the eye of Shough, Chris Olave isn’t going away, and Taysom Hill continues to weasel his way into usage. I’d much rather stream a player like Luka Musgrave, a player I view as a lesser talent, but who is tied to a far superior offense.
