Free-agent running back Ty Johnson (pectoral) posted a video to his Instagram account on Friday, revealing he underwent surgery this offseason. The 2019 sixth-round pick was re-signed by the Jets in March. However, after suffering a pec tear while working out, the team released him with a non-football injury designation.

The New York Jets reached an agreement to re-sign running back Ty Johnson to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. The former sixth-round pick by the Detroit Lions in 2019 has spent the last two full seasons providing running back depth for the Jets. In 17 games (one start) for Gang Green in 2022, he had 30 carries for 160 yards and one touchdown, adding 12 receptions for 88 yards through the air.

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson ran the ball five times for 12 yards in a Week 18 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He added two catches on three targets for an additional 13 yards. Almost all of Johnson's positive gains came on two plays, as he had a 12 yard run and a 12 yard catch in the game. Johnson was heavily involved in Week 17 but took a backseat to rookie Zonovan Knight again in this one. He'll enter free agency and likely latch on as running back depth somewhere else for 2023.

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson had his biggest game of the season in Week 17, leading the backfield in carries in a game where the Jets did not run the ball much. He may be heavily involved in Week 18, but in a game with the Jets already eliminated, they may choose to give rookie Zonovan Knight more run to see what they have for next season. Johnson is very cheap in DFS leagues and may be worth a dart throw there, but any season long leagues still playing in Week 18 likely don't need ...

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson took over the backfield in a Week 17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Johnson ran the ball eight times, gaining 46 yards and added one catch on five targets for an additional 11 yards. Johnson was out-touched by Zonovan Knight 10-to-9, but Johnson's 57 total yards were more than Knight's 44.

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson had a role in the passing game almost exclusively in a Week 13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He carried the ball just once, gaining three yards. He did see seven targets in the passing game though, catching six of them for 38 yards. Johnson should continue to play a small support role once Michael Carter (ankle) returns, which could be as soon as Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills.

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson should have a role in the Jets backfield in a Week 13 game against the Minnesota Vikings. With Michael Carter (ankle) questionable and James Robinson apparently falling out of favor, Johnson could form the pass catching part of the backfield alongside rookie Zonovan Knight. If Carter ends up playing, Johnson would have too low of a floor to trust outside of the deepest fantasy formats, but if Carter ends up inactive, Johnson could put up RB3 numbers in ...
