Ty Johnson Fantasy

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson put together arguably his best game of the season against the New England Patriots in Week 7. He rushed five times for six yards, but also hauled in six of his seven targets for 65 yards in the loss. It was an active day for the Jets running backs in this game. Both Johnson and Michael Carter were the two leading receivers for New York on Sunday. However, neither player carries much fantasy value through the rest of the season. Carter has a bit more upside because he gets a significant amount of carries. Johnson can remain on the waiver wire for their battle with the Cincinnati Bengals next week.

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson has put together little success on the ground this season. In fact, Johnson has 95 total rushing yards through the first five games of the season. Although, most of his fantasy value comes from the receiving game. Sadly for Johnson, the Jets haven't utilized Johnson's receiving ability much over the last few weeks. Rookie Michael Carter appears to be the lead back going forward. That means, Tevin Coleman and Johnson will fight for scrapes off the bench. Johnson is barely worth holding in deep leagues and shouldn't be started against the Patriots in Week 7.

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson has been off to a slow start this season, but picked it up a bit in Week 5. He rushed four times for 12 yards and one touchdown during the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Johnson also added two receptions for 22 yards, which is decent considering he only saw three targets. It appears Michael Carter is going to be the lead back for this offense going forward. That means, Johnson and Tevin Coleman will fight for scrapes off the bench. It's best to leave Johnson on the waiver wire as the Jets head into a bye week.
