Johnson rushed five times for 18 yards and failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 30-21 win over the Chiefs. Johnson played 33 of the Bills' 73 offensive snaps Sunday, ahead of both James Cook (27) and Ray Davis (15). Despite handling his largest snap share of the season, the veteran running back was unable to get much going. Going forward, Johnson will continue to operate in his depth role, barring injuries to Cook and Davis, keeping him far off the fantasy radar as the Bills head into a Week 12 bye.

Johnson rushed five times for 18 yards and failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 30-21 win over the Chiefs. Johnson played 33 of the Bills' 73 offensive snaps Sunday, ahead of both James Cook (27) and Ray Davis (15). Despite handling his largest snap share of the season, the veteran running back was unable to get much going. Going forward, Johnson will continue to operate in his depth role, barring injuries to Cook and Davis, keeping him far off the fantasy radar as the Bills head into a Week 12 bye.
Johnson caught all three of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 30-20 win over the Colts. Johnson failed to record a single rush in the contest. The Bills' No. 3 running back has now totaled just 17 rushing attempts for 99 yards and a score on the ground through 10 weeks, while playing behind teammates James Cook and Ray Davis. Johnson has also recorded eight catches for 97 yards and two touchdowns in Buffalo's passing game so far in 2024. With Cook and Davis both healthy, the 27-year-old Johnson doesn't hold much value for fantasy purposes. The Bills will host the Chiefs in Week 11.
Johnson secured his lone target for a four-yard touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans. Johnson failed to record a single rushing attempt in the contest as he operated as the No. 3 running back behind teammates James Cook and Ray Davis. The 27-year-old's minimal usage coincided with Cook's return from a toe injury that sidelined him in Week 6. Assuming the Buffalo backfield is completely healthy, Johnson does not see enough touches to be in consideration for fantasy purposes. The Bills are set to visit the Seahawks in Week 8.
Johnson rushed four times for 34 yards and was not targeted as a passer in Monday's 23-20 win over the Jets. Johnson was one of two candidates to replace starter James Cook's (toe) touches Monday, but it turned out to be fellow backup Ray Davis (152 combined yards on 23 touches) who benefited from a fantasy standpoint. The 26-year-old Johnson was worth a waiver add in Week 6, but given the touch distribution -- plus the potential for Cook to return -- make the backup running back a low-end fantasy option in Week 7. The Bills are set to host the Titans on Sunday.
Johnson carried three times for 15 yards and was not targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans. Johnson was out there for a season-high 36 percent of the offensive snaps, but with the Bills playing catch-up for most of the day, there wasn't much room for change-of-pace carries. Johnson remains ahead of Ray Davis in the pecking order behind starter James Cook, as Davis played only two offensive snaps Sunday. That said, the No. 2 spot in Buffalo is strictly an insurance or deep reserve fantasy play, as Cook is serving as a bell-cow back and is even getting goal-line carries this season. Of the team's eight rushing touchdowns, Cook has four, Josh Allen has two, and Johnson and Davis have one apiece.
Johnson carried three times for 18 yards and caught all three of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars. Johnson ended up having his best statistical day of the young season Monday, seeing season highs in snap percentage (27), rushing yards (18), and targets (3). With that said, the veteran's statistics were not overly impressive, and his increased usage was likely the result of the Bills resting key players in the second half amid the blowout. Johnson's touchdown grab was his first trip to the end zone in 2024, but he likely won't earn many more scoring opportunities while lead back James Cook is healthy.
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. 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 good 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 depth chart heading into a Week 3 visit from the Jaguars.
Johnson (knee) does not have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Dolphins. Johnson exited the Bills' Week 1 win over the Cardinals with a knee issue, but the running back was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through session and will be available to face Miami. He's thus slated to continue to see complementary work along with Ray Davis, behind top back James Cook. In that capacity, Johnson's fantasy upside is limited.
Johnson (knee) will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports. Johnson was forced out of Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals due to the knee injury, though his ability to practice in some fashion two days later suggests he's not dealing with a major injury. However, with the Bills facing a quick turnaround for Week 2 with a Thursday night game against the Dolphins, it's unclear if Johnson will heal quickly enough to make himself available. If Johnson is inactive Thursday, rookie Ray Davis could notice a slight uptick in snaps as the clear No. 2 option behind lead back James Cook.
