SIT

Ty Johnson's recent performance, averaging just 10.2 PPR points over the last four games with a carry share of only 15.2%, signals he is not a reliable contributor for fantasy lineups.

Role & volume

Ty Johnson's trailing average snap share of 32.2% and target share of 7.7% indicate limited involvement in the BUF offense, with his carry share fluctuating between 10.8% and 30.2%. This suggests he is not a primary ball carrier.

Projected role

Our value ranks Ty Johnson as RB58, indicating that he does not project to be a top-tier fantasy option for the upcoming season, with his role likely remaining marginal in BUF's offensive scheme.

Range (floor–ceiling)

Given his recent performance and value rank, Johnson's range is limited, with a floor of 5.8 PPR points and a ceiling that does not break into the RB1 territory, making him a risky addition to fantasy lineups.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (4 flags)

Risk Flags

Injury Concerns
A right hamstring injury sustained in an August 2026 practice sidelined Johnson for the season opener and has limited practice participation since; recurring soft-tissue injuries can erode a complementary back's roster spot quickly.
Contract Situation
Johnson is playing on the final year of his contract, creating pending free-agency uncertainty for his Buffalo role beyond the 2026 season.
Target Volume
Despite rising snap and carry share, Johnson's target share sits in the mid-single digits behind James Cook's entrenched three-down role, capping his overall touch ceiling relative to Ray Davis and Frank Gore Jr. in the same backfield.

Opportunity Flags

Usage & Volume
Snap share and carry share have both trended upward recently even as target share dipped week to week, suggesting an expanding rather than shrinking early-down complementary role once healthy.
