Ty JohnsonRBBUF
Ty Johnson is a false handcuff to James Cook because he plays an entirely different position as an RB-WR tweener; Johnson's functions are separate from Cook's. If Cook were to miss a game, the RB-WR hybrid position would be unlikely to see a meaningful increase in snaps. Johnson would stay close to the same snap count while the true RB2 would replace Cook's functions.
