Ty Johnson Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth RB for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB47 last season at 5.9 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 1 game he's RB67 at 9.0 PPR points per game, against 5.9 over 17 games last season (RB47). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 68th of 95 in rushing volume (2.9 carries per game), 41st of 95 in receiving role (1.9 targets per game) and 82nd of 95 in efficiency (1.42 yards after contact per carry). Efficiency is the soft spot. Josh Allen is his quarterback.
He's RB2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Johnson's profile is built on efficiency, not volume. Across all 17 games in 2025 he posted a positive 0.171 EPA per play on just a 29.6% snap share, turning 50 carries into 200 yards (4.0 per pop) and three scores while chipping in 24 catches on 33 targets for 263 yards and two more touchdowns. A 6.9% target share and 1.16 yards per route run confirm he's a complementary piece, and the 76.3 fantasy points reflect a five-touchdown ceiling that requires red-zone luck to repeat.
The underlying quality is real: his 0.365 EPA per play and 5.2 yards per carry in 2024 rank among the league's best for his usage tier. But that efficiency rarely converts to startable weeks behind Buffalo's depth chart. As a passing-downs specialist projected for roughly 71 points and an ADP outside the top 250, he's a deep-bench handcuff and bye-week dart, not a draft-day priority.
