Should You Start or Sit Ty Johnson in Week 7?
Johnson got the first carry on Monday night and that means he was the starter, but that title didn’t prove descriptive as Ray Davis out-touched him 10-4 through the first three drives.
I tend to believe the lopsided early work was more the result of identifying a hot hand than anything else. But the usage was telling and paints the picture of Johnson being multiple injuries away from a viable role.
I’d want to make sure that James Cook is trending toward playing before cutting Johnson, but once we get that sort of report, you can feel fine about moving on.
