Chris Ivory, Chris Johnson's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 8

The New York Jets were torched by the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, and that didn't leave many opportunities for running backs Chris Ivory and Chris Johnson. Although, a backfield hierarchy was still established despite a limited workload.   

Here's a look at how the duo fared:

Player	Rush	Rush Yds	TD	Rec	Rec Yds	Fantasy Pts
Chris Ivory	13	43	2	0	0	16
Chris Johnson	3	7	0	2	13	1

Ivory is the clear-cut top option out of the backfield. He runs with a great deal of power, driving his legs and churning out nice yards after contact. His two goal-line scores on Sunday only add to his fantasy appeal, as Ivory proved he can produce even against one of the league's most stout run defenses.

Scott Pianowski of Yahoo Sports tweeted his opinion on the ball-carrier:

Due to inefficiency at the quarterback position, expect the Jets to ride Ivory in an effort to gain more consistency on offense. He's worked his way up to solid RB2 status going forward.

Johnson appears to be a fantasy afterthought at this point. He received very little work against Buffalo, and that should continue due to Ivory's solid play. Fantasy owners should relegate Johnson to the bench and consider him as nothing more than a handcuff at this point.
