Should I start Kaleb Johnson or Odell Beckham Jr. in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 2:06 PM ET.

Start Kaleb Johnson: he has been on the field this season, 19 percent of the snaps, and Odell Beckham Jr. has no snap on record yet. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Their Week 10 outlook

The gap

  • Board size307 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Kaleb Johnson, and the board ranks him 129th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Odell Beckham Jr., and the board ranks him 195th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Kaleb Johnson is 2.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market has Odell Beckham Jr. at 0.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Kaleb Johnson's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

This season through Week 9

Through Week 9, Kaleb Johnson has been on the field for 25 percent of GB snaps, taken 33 percent of the carries, drawn 1 percent of the targets and had 6 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 0 of the offence's 60 third down targets, had 3 of its 16 chances inside the five and seen 0 of its 24 two minute targets.

His 3 targets have come 0.3 yards behind the line of scrimmage on average.

In Week 5 against CHI he carried 7 times for 26 yards and did not score.

In Week 6 against DAL he carried 1 time for -2 yards and did not score.

In Week 9 against NE he carried 14 times for 68 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

The usage feed holds no snap or target counts for Odell Beckham Jr. this season.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Kaleb Johnson played 10 games and scored 8.8 PPR points, 0.9 a game, finishing RB115.

He carried 28 times for 69 yards and 0 touchdowns, and caught 1 of 2 targets for 9 more yards.

That came to 2.8 carries a game at 3 yards a carry and 0.1 catches a game.

He was on the field for 6 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

The season feed carries no line for Odell Beckham Jr. in the last completed season.

Side by side

Kaleb Johnson is a running back and Odell Beckham Jr. a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Kaleb Johnson is off in Week 11 and Odell Beckham Jr. in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.
