Johnson did catch three balls -- one for a touchdown -- in Week 11, so it's not like the team views him as a one-trick pony. He's still behind James Cook and Latavious Murray in the pecking order, plus Damien Harris (neck) could eventually return before season's end, but it's at least worth noting that Johnson has been given an opportunity in the offense after previously not seeing more than one offensive snap in any game under former offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, who was fired after Week 10. With interim OC Joe Brady now in charge, Johnson has seen 24 offensive snaps over the past two weeks. While Johnson still is too far down the pecking order to consider using, he's also probably just an injury or two away from having a meaningful role in an offense that can put up a high number of points.

After seeing only two offensive snaps in his first four games as a Bill, Johnson suddenly found himself with a real workload in the backfield -- the most noticeable change new offensive coordinator Joe Brady made in his first game at the helm. Johnson's first touches came on Buffalo's third possession late in the first quarter, and he capped his big performance with a 28-yard TD catch from Josh Allen early in the third. Johnson, who played for the Jets from 2020-22, could be taking on a consistent change-of-pace role behind James Cook heading into a Week 12 trip to Philadelphia.
