Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson does not boast fantasy appeal in Week 13 despite operating as the primary handcuff to backfield mate James Cook. The 28-year-old has actually seen his role in the passing game remain steady since Week 9, collecting at least two targets and receptions over the four-game sample. Still, he's failed to carry the ball more than twice in any game over that stretch, and has done so just twice on the season as a whole, with Cook handily leading the backfield. Furthermore, quarterback Josh Allen has more than tripled Johnson's carry total (70-21), leaving little volume left to go around on the ground. Johnson is worthy of a stash in the deepest of PPR formats for his stable work in the receiving game, but his floor is low, and the ceiling is nearly nonexistent. He's RotoBaller's PPR RB64 ahead of Week 13.

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson continues to operate out of a depth role and is not a reliable fantasy option. Johnson has been the clear No. 2 option behind James Cook this season, primarily checking into the game on occasional passing downs. He has 18 carries and 11 targets so far, ranking as the overall RB70 in PPR leagues. As long as the Bills continue to feed Cook a heavy dose of touches, Johnson and fellow running back Ray Davis will be non-factors in fantasy football. Johnson's only path to fantasy productivity is an injury to Cook, and even then, we could see Davis get the early-down work. The 28-year-old should be left on fantasy waivers in all leagues.

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson found the end zone for the first time this season during last week's win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnson rushed the ball twice for eight yards and a touchdown. He also hauled in both his targets for 12 yards through the air. There was some speculation that Johnson would see a larger role this weekend with James Cook (ankle) banged up. However, Cook won't carry an injury designation into the Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Johnson figures to resume his backup role which is only a few carries per game. That being said, Johnson should only be viewed as a touchdown-dependent option for Week 10.

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson could see increased usage in Week 10. Through eight games, he has logged 17 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown, along with four receptions for 31 yards. With James Cook (foot/ankle) not practicing, Johnson may be in line for a larger workload. Johnson has outsnapped Ray Davis this season, but in the one game Cook missed last year, Davis played 63% of the snaps compared to Johnson's 35%. Cook's status will dictate how the backfield shakes out, so monitor practice reports closely. If Cook sits, both Johnson and Davis would see expanded roles against a vulnerable Miami defense.

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson could become an interesting mid-week waiver-wire pickup heading into Week 10 against the division-rival Miami Dolphins on Sunday after it was announced on Wednesday that starting RB James Cook (ankle, foot) is not practicing. Johnson only played 20% of the offensive snaps in the Week 9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs and had just two carries, but he was able to fall into the end zone for his first touchdown of 2025. The 28-year-old has also been Buffalo's preferred choice as the backup to Cook this year over Ray Davis, who played just 5% of the snaps last weekend. If Cook's injury is serious enough to sideline him this weekend, the Bills would likely split backfield touches between Johnson and Davis, but at the very least, fantasy managers should be keeping a close eye on this situation over the next few days. Johnson has only 17 carries on the year for 72 yards and one TD.

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson continues to play a modest role in the team's backfield rotation, logging between 20% and 33% of offensive snaps in each of the first four games. However, his on-field presence has not translated into meaningful fantasy production, as he's averaging just two carries for 10.8 yards per game. With James Cook III firmly entrenched as the lead back and quarterback Josh Allen consistently handling a share of the rushing workload, Johnson's fantasy value remains minimal. Unless Cook misses time, Johnson offers little more than deep-league or handcuff appeal. Fantasy managers should avoid starting him in Week 5 against a Patriots defense that has allowed the second-fewest rushing yards per game. Johnson's role is simply too limited to warrant consideration outside of the deepest formats.
