Ty Johnson Fantasy

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson is expected to have a fairly heavy workload for the Week 17 matchup with the New England Patriots. Both Frank Gore (lung) and La'Mical Perine (COVID-19) have been ruled out for this game. That means, Johnson is most likely going to get significant carries this week. The Patriots are below average when it comes to stopping the running game. Johnson could be a possible low-end streaming option for the regular season finale.

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson has not been able to make much of an impact over the last two weeks. He put together an 104-yard performance in Week 13, but has done basically nothing since then. Head coach Adam Gase is continuing to lean on Frank Gore as the lead back. That means, Johnson only gets a handful of carries each week. The Cleveland Browns have a strong run defense, so it's best to avoid Johnson in Week 16.

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson was held in check on the ground during the Week 15 contest versus the Los Angeles Rams. He rushed three times for 16 yards, but was much better in the passing game. Johnson hauled in six receptions for 39 yards and one touchdown in the win. Veteran running back Frank Gore remains the lead back, so that limits the fantasy value of Johnson for these final two games. The Cleveland Browns have a strong run defense, so it's probably not worth using Johnson is most formats going forward.
