New York Jets running back Ty Johnson scored his first touchdown of the season in a Week 12 win over the Chicago Bears. Johnson ran the ball five times for 62 yards and a score and also added one catch for 16 more yards. He was forced into a larger role in this game after James Robinson was a healthy scratch and Michael Carter (ankle) had to leave the game early due to an injury. Undrafted rookie Zonovan Knight and Johnson made up the Jets backfield for most of the game, and both played ...

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson is not worth rostering in most leagues ahead of a Week 9 game against the Buffalo Bills. There was some thought that his role would grow after the injury to Breece Hall (knee), but Johnson ended up with only three carries in Week 8. Michael Carter and James Robinson will continue to share backfield work, and Johnson will keep his special teams role. Fantasy managers who added him before Week 8 just in case can swap him for another "just in case" on the ...

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson ended up with only two touches in a Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots. With Breece Hall (knee) out for the year and the newly acquired James Robinson not expected to be ready for a full workload, there was some thought that Johnson could end up with a handful of touches and perhaps some fantasy relevance. None of that came to be though, as he ended up running the ball twice for six yards and missed both of his targets in the passing game. With ...

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson should have a role on offense in a Week 8 game against the New England Patriots. With Breece Hall (knee) out for the season and the recently acquired James Robinson unlikely to play more than a few snaps, Johnson should have his biggest offensive role so far this season. He's been targeted four times and run the ball once this season, spending most of his time on special teams. Michael Carter is sure to take the bulk of the snaps out of the backfield, ...

With championships on the line, can fantasy managers rely on Austin Walter or Ty Johnson in Week 18 as critical waiver wire claims?

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson surprisingly put together a decent game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. He rushed five times for 35 yards and one touchdown in the loss. He also added three receptions for 47 yards through the air. Those 47 receiving yards were the second-most on the team during this contest. Sadly, the Jets have buried Johnson on the depth chart, which makes him a tough fantasy option to trust. Although, he could see a bigger workload with Michael Carter ...

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson could be looking at an extended role against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Veteran back Tevin Coleman is currently sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols. That means, rookie back Michael Carter will be doing most of the work on the ground this week. Johnson hasn't made an impact since Week 14, but could get some touches here. Although, it's unlikely to be enough to warrant starting Johnson is any fantasy formats. The Jets are more than likely just ...

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson was a healthy scratch last week. Although, he saw six rushing attempts in two of the three contests before Week 15. However, the return of Michael Carter and the presence of Tevin Coleman likely ended Johnson's value. It's uncertain if he'll suit up for the Week 16 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coleman has proven his worth and Carter is the future in the backfield. At best, Johnson will have a minimal role, but won't be worth starting in any ...

New York Jets running backs Ty Johnson and La'Mical Perine are healthy scratches for the Week 15 contest against the Miami Dolphins now that Michael Carter (ankle) and Tevin Coleman (concussion) are both back from their injuries. Austin Walter will serve as the No. 3 behind Carter and Coleman on Sunday. Carter has been on Injured Reserve since Week 11, but he is expected to have a significant role as the Jets lead back in his return against Miami. There is reason to be skeptical about ...

With the return of Jets RB Michael Carter, can fantasy managers trust him, Ty Johnson, or Tevin Coleman against a tough Dolphins defense?
