BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: With Adam Thielen out, someone had to step up for the Vikings yesterday. Enter second-year WR Bisi Johnson, who had one of the most efficient games of the weekend and helped Minny in getting another W to their season record.
Bisi closed his weekend as the WR19 in fantasy football (pending MNF) thanks to his 16.4 PPR points and truth be told, he just lacked a touchdown to entirely round his performance. Bisi caught 7 of 7 targets for a sweet 100% catch rate, turning those into 74 yards good for a 10.6 Y/R average on the day. He didn't get to score, but he converted a two-point play after a TD, which isn't bad at all.
This marked Johnson's highest-usage game of the year, being part of 58 snaps and topping his highest tally to date (42 in Week 2). With Thielen back and Jefferson healthy (and, let's be honest, with Dalvin Cook not sucking like he just did yesterday) the most probable outcome of Bisi ROS is one not so bright as this past Sunday's.
Minnesota has two cupcake-matchups next facing the 25th and 26th-best defenses against fantasy WRs, so even if Johnson's role drops a lot he should still be able to exploit those two defenses. Don't target him in shallow leagues, obviously, but consider him a good addition in really deep leagues as someone to play for a couple of weeks at your FLEX spot before dropping him.
