New York Jets running back Chris Ivory rushed nine times for 44 yards against the San Diego Chargers in Week 5. He was targeted just one time in the passing game and had zero catches.
Chris Ivory continues to look like the better fantasy option over Chris Johnson
The Jets are not very good on offense. We break down the fantasy implications.

Running back Chris Johnson lost a fumble and looked horrible yet again, rushing for 24 yards on seven carries to go with one catch for -2 yards.
Ivory has looked much better than Johnson for the entire season and today was no different. The Jets are still splitting carries with the two backs and that may change after Johnson's crucial fumble on Sunday. Plus, he is missing the assigned hole on multiple plays in each game.
Fantasy impact: There is really no need to own Johnson in most formats. He doesn’t get goal-line touches and isn’t the playmaker he once was. Ivory is more of a RB3 and does have some upside as a RB2 if the Jets opt to phase Johnson out of the offense.
