Bills' Ty Johnson: Hits pay dirt against Titans
Johnson secured his lone target for a four-yard touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.
Johnson failed to record a single rushing attempt in the contest as he operated as the No. 3 running back behind teammates James Cook and Ray Davis. The 27-year-old's minimal usage coincided with Cook's return from a toe injury that sidelined him in Week 6. Assuming the Buffalo backfield is completely healthy, Johnson does not see enough touches to be in consideration for fantasy purposes. The Bills are set to visit the Seahawks in Week 8.

Bills' Ty Johnson: Fills backup role Monday
Johnson rushed four times for 34 yards and was not targeted as a passer in Monday's 23-20 win over the Jets.
Johnson was one of two candidates to replace starter James Cook's (toe) touches Monday, but it turned out to be fellow backup Ray Davis (152 combined yards on 23 touches) who benefited from a fantasy standpoint. The 26-year-old Johnson was worth a waiver add Week 6, but given the touch distribution -- plus the potential for Cook to return -- the backup running back is a low-end fantasy option Week 7. The Bills are set to host the Titans on Sunday.

Bills' Ty Johnson: Low volume in Week 5 loss
Johnson carried three times for 15 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.
Johnson was out there for a season-high 36 percent of the offensive snaps, but with the Bills playing catch-up for most of the day, there wasn't much room for change-of-pace carries. Johnson remains ahead of Ray Davis in the pecking order behind starter James Cook, as Davis played only two offensive snaps Sunday. That said, the No. 2 spot in Buffalo is strictly an insurance or deep reserve fantasy play, as Cook is serving as a bell-cow back and is even getting goal-line carries this season. Of the team's eight rushing touchdowns, Cook has four, Josh Allen has two, and Johnson and Davis have one apiece.

Bills' Ty Johnson: Hits pay dirt in win
Johnson carried three times for 18 yards and caught all three of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars.
Johnson ended up having his best statistical day of the young season Monday, seeing season highs in snap percentage (27), rushing yards (18), and targets (3). With that said, the veteran's statistics were not overly impressive, and his increased usage was likely the result of the Bills resting key players in the second half amid the blowout. Johnson's touchdown grab was his first trip to the end zone in 2024, but he likely won't earn many more scoring opportunities while lead back James Cook is healthy.

Bills' Ty Johnson: Two touches to Davis' 10
Johnson rushed once for minus-1 yard and added one catch for 33 yards on two targets in Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins.
Johnson watched James Cook score three first-half touchdowns, while rookie Ray Davis got most of the mop-up duty with the game out of reach, finishing with nine carries to Johnson's one. While it's a positive that Johnson is no longer bothered by the knee injury he picked up in the season opener, he seems to have fallen to third on Buffalo's running-back depth chart heading into a Week 3 visit from the Jaguars.

Bills' Ty Johnson: Cleared for Week 2
Johnson (knee) does not have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.
Johnson exited the Bills' Week 1 win over the Cardinals with a knee issue, but the running back was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through session and will be available to face Miami. He's thus slated to continue to see complementary work along with Ray Davis, behind top back James Cook. In that capacity, Johnson's fantasy upside is limited.

Bills' Ty Johnson: Set for limited practice
Johnson (knee) will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
Johnson was forced out of Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals due to the knee injury, though his ability to practice in some fashion two days later suggests he's not dealing with a major injury. However, with the Bills facing a quick turnaround for Week 2 with a Thursday night game against the Dolphins, it's unclear if Johnson will heal quickly enough to make himself available. If Johnson is inactive Thursday, rookie Ray Davis could notice a slight uptick in snaps as the clear No. 2 option behind lead back James Cook.

Bills' Ty Johnson: Limited Monday
Johnson (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Johnson exited Buffalo's Week 1 affair with a knee injury, but it appears he still has a chance to suit up Thursday night against the Dolphins. The 26-year-old running back's practice participation will be something to monitor as the week progresses. If he's unable to go in Week 2, James Cook and Ray Davis are expected to assume all of Buffalo's work in the backfield.

Bills' Ty Johnson: Exits Sunday's game

Bills' Ty Johnson: Makes 53-man roster
Johnson secured a spot on Buffalo's 53-man roster Tuesday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Johnson was one of three running backs to make the team, joining starter James Cook and rookie fourth-round draft pick Ray Davis. Johnson and Davis are expected to split backup duties. Cook and Davis are listed at 210 and 220 pounds, respectively, so both backups are better suited for short-yardage work than the 190-pound Cook, though 237-pound quarterback Josh Allen often calls his own number in such situations.

Bills' Ty Johnson: Small role in Saturday's win
Johnson carried the ball once for six yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Steelers. He was not targeted in the passing game.
Johnson was and perhaps still is in the running to be James Cook's primary backup, but he hurt his hamstring in late July and missed the first preseason game, then finally returned to practice last week and played just seven snaps Saturday. Rookie Ray Davis looks like the favorite for the job now, though the Bills could mix and match when Cook needs a breather due to the differing skill sets of Johnson and Davis. It's worth noting that undrafted rookie Frank Gore ran well Saturday, logging eight carries for 41 yards, while veteran Darrynton Evans ran seven times for 37 yards.

Bills' Ty Johnson: Healthy again
Johnson (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Johnson suffered a hamstring injury during practice last month but is now healthy again. The 2019 sixth-round pick will likely serve as a reserve running back and kick returner once the regular season begins. He's in a battle with rookie Ray Davis for the top backup job to starting running back James Cook.

Bills' Ty Johnson: Not in uniform Saturday
Johnson (hamstring) wasn't in uniform ahead of Saturday's preseason game against the Bears, according to Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News.
The same applies to WRs Mack Hollins (leg), Chase Claypool (toe) and Justin Shorter (knee). Johnson's next opportunity to see exhibition action will be Aug. 17 against the Steelers. Once he returns to the mix, Johnson will resume competing with Ray Davis for slotting behind top RB James Cook.
