Kaleb Johnson Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth RB for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB109 last season at 0.9 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 2 games he's RB73 at 2.9 PPR points per game, against 0.9 over 10 games last season (RB109). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 71st of 95 in rushing volume (2.8 carries per game), 85th of 95 in receiving role (0.2 targets per game) and 88th of 95 in efficiency (1.21 yards after contact per carry). Efficiency is the soft spot. Jordan Love is his quarterback.
He's RB2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchup is the Cowboys in Week 6 (8th against RBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Johnson's rookie tape was a cautionary file: just 28 carries for 69 yards across 10 games, a brutal 2.46 per attempt and a -0.249 EPA per play that ranked among the worst at the position. His 9.1% snap share and zero rushing scores tell the story of a back the staff barely trusted, and the underlying contact numbers offer little hope of a hidden gem, with only 1.21 yards after contact per attempt and two broken tackles all year.
The path forward is just as crowded. He sits behind Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle in a three-man committee, projecting as no better than an RB3 with negligible standalone value in standard leagues. The 2024 college profile (1,537 yards, 21 touchdowns, 22 catches) hints at upside if injuries open a lane, but until he earns real volume he is a dynasty stash and watch-list name, not a draftable asset.
