Avery Johnson

QuarterbackQB
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The time has come for Johnson to establish himself as the future of Kansas State. The youngster flashed in his true freshman season, including five rushing touchdowns at Texas Tech in Week 7 of the 2023 season. Johnson was understandably not yet ready for a full-time role and split reps with Will Howard, who has since left for the starting job at Ohio State. If Johnson's accuracy and understanding of the playbook have improved, watch out. He could be a fantasy dynamite with a true dual-threat skillset. In just eight games with limited snaps last year, Johnson posted 12 total touchdowns. Johnson could be in for a monster season with the Wildcats if extrapolated over an entire season in as a full-time starter. Read Past Outlooks
100-yard rushing effort in win
September 15, 2024
Johnson completed 14 of 23 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns during Friday's 31-7 victory versus Arizona. He also had 17 rushes for 110 yards.
ANALYSIS
Johnson recorded his first 100-yard rushing performance of the season in a dominating effort against Arizona. He also had two touchdown passes in his third straight game this year. It's surprising to see that he does not yet have a rushing score, however, his volume suggests that is coming soon. Kansas State will play at BYU next week and Johnson remains a strong fantasy play as an elite dual-threat quarterback option.
