2024 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson began to see consistent snaps on offense in Week 11 last season when Joe Brady took over as the Bills' interim offensive coordinator. The speedster became a solid complementary option behind James Cook in the backfield, although he saw double-digit touches only once in his eight games as a regular part of the game plan, including the playoffs. With Brady back in charge of the offense, Johnson could see a similar workload in 2024, but he'll have to contend with fourth-round pick Ray Davis for backup snaps. Read Past Outlooks
Sticking with Buffalo
Johnson is re-signing with Buffalo on a one-year contract, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2019 sixth-round pick played in 18 games for the Lions and 44 for the Jets before landing in Buffalo last year. Johnson then spent the first month and a half of the 2023 season on the practice squad, eventually getting a promotion after Damien Harris suffered a season-ending head/neck injury in mid-October. By the end of the year, Johnson had eclipsed Latavius Murray as the team's No. 2 RB, getting 15 carries and three targets for 80 total yards in two playoff games. He'll now stick in Buffalo, where James Cook and Darrynton Evans are the only other RBs under contract at the start of the 2024 league year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Surprisingly released Wednesday
Johnson, who re-signed with the Jets on a one-year deal March 23, was released with a non-football injury designation Wednesday, NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
There aren't immediate details behind the move, but Johnson was expected to once again compete for a roster spot this summer after being brought back in March. The veteran accounted for 248 total yards from scrimmage last season across 17 games and had his best season two years ago, when he posted 610 total yards and four total touchdowns, including a career-high 34 receptions and 372 receiving yards.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2019
Johnson got plenty of chances to show what he can do last year, and while he demonstrated some nice ability with the ball in his hands, he was also plagued by drops and missed assignments. Between those frequent miscues and the Jets' decision to select running back Breece Hall early in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Johnson's unlikely to play more than a depth role in 2022, if he makes the roster at all. Barring multiple injuries ahead of him, Johnson will probably regress from last year's totals of 610 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns.
