2024 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson began to see consistent snaps on offense Week 11 last season after Joe Brady took over as the Bills' interim offensive coordinator. The 2019 sixth-round pick was mostly deployed as a passing-down back with the Lions and Jets, but Brady used him more as a runner, including 15 carries for 66 yards in two playoffs game. Johnson's 4.4 speed made him a solid complementary option behind James Cook in the backfield, and Brady's return as offensive coordinator sets up the possibility for a similar role in 2024. The Bills added competition, however, using a fourth-round pick on Ray Davis and then bringing in undrafted rookie Frank Gore. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Two touches to Davis' 10
Johnson rushed once for minus-1 yard and added one catch for 33 yards on two targets in Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Johnson watched James Cook score three first-half touchdowns, while rookie Ray Davis got most of the mop-up duty with the game out of reach, finishing with nine carries to Johnson's one. While it's a positive that Johnson is no longer bothered by the knee injury he picked up in the season opener, he seems to have fallen to third on Buffalo's running-back depth chart heading into a Week 3 visit from the Jaguars.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2019
Johnson got plenty of chances to show what he can do last year, and while he demonstrated some nice ability with the ball in his hands, he was also plagued by drops and missed assignments. Between those frequent miscues and the Jets' decision to select running back Breece Hall early in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Johnson's unlikely to play more than a depth role in 2022, if he makes the roster at all. Barring multiple injuries ahead of him, Johnson will probably regress from last year's totals of 610 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns.
