Raheim Sanders vs Ty Johnson: Who Should You Start?

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Raheim Sanders finished the 2025 season at 4.7 PPG over 4 games with the Cleveland Browns, while Ty Johnson clocked in at 5.2 across 17 appearances for the Buffalo Bills. A 0.5-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Raheim Sanders ran for 92 yards and 1 touchdowns; Ty Johnson posted 200 and 3. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

One scheduling note: Raheim Sanders is off Week 10 and Ty Johnson Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
