Ty Johnson Fantasy

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson is not worth rostering in most leagues ahead of a Week 9 game against the Buffalo Bills. There was some thought that his role would grow after the injury to Breece Hall (knee), but Johnson ended up with only three carries in Week 8. Michael Carter and James Robinson will continue to share backfield work, and Johnson will keep his special teams role. Fantasy managers who added him before Week 8 just in case can swap him for another "just in case" on the waiver wire.

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson ended up with only two touches in a Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots. With Breece Hall (knee) out for the year and the newly acquired James Robinson not expected to be ready for a full workload, there was some thought that Johnson could end up with a handful of touches and perhaps some fantasy relevance. None of that came to be though, as he ended up running the ball twice for six yards and missed both of his targets in the passing game. With Robinson's role expected to grow, Johnson can likely be dropped in any leagues where he was added.

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson should have a role on offense in a Week 8 game against the New England Patriots. With Breece Hall (knee) out for the season and the recently acquired James Robinson unlikely to play more than a few snaps, Johnson should have his biggest offensive role so far this season. He's been targeted four times and run the ball once this season, spending most of his time on special teams. Michael Carter is sure to take the bulk of the snaps out of the backfield, but Johnson could see some passing down work. He's no more than a desperation dart throw in the deepest leagues.
