Johnson caught all four targets for 72 yards with a 78.5 PFF grade (fifth on the team) against the Rams. With DJ Moore and Josh Palmer both potentially out again, Johnson figures to see continued receiving work as part of the Bills' game plan to run the ball and use running backs when top receivers are unavailable. However, the matchup is harder than the performance suggests: Las Vegas has allowed the seventh-fewest catches and eighth-fewest receiving yards to running backs per RotoBaller.

Johnson caught four of four targets for 72 yards against the Rams with a 78.5 PFF grade (fifth on the team); the running backs as a group caught six passes for 110 yards (more than half of Allen's 210 passing yards), and Johnson was a key part of the run-first formula that worked Monday; with Cook's fumble issues potentially limiting his carries, Johnson and Ray Davis could see increased opportunities.

One comment (likely joking): 'Are you sure that now is a good time to sell Ty Johnson? I think once he gets that 5th opportunity in a game he's going to blow everyone out of the water.' Sarcastic tone suggests Johnson is not a viable fantasy asset.

Johnson received an honorable mention for his efficient performance despite minimal playing time. He played only 14 offensive snaps (22% of the team's snaps) but caught all four of his targets for 72 yards, including gains of 40 and 26 yards. His four receptions accounted for one-third of Buffalo's completions and more than one-third of its passing yards—a substantial contribution from a player with limited field time.

NegativeDepth ChartOct 13, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL

Ty Johnson has minimal involvement in the Bills' backfield through five weeks, with just one carry for 3 yards. He is a potential beneficiary if James Cook's carries decrease due to fumble concerns, but his current role is negligible.

Ty Johnson's snap share fell from 32% to 22% in Week 5, and he trailed James Cook in both routes run (9 versus 8) and targets (4 versus 1). Johnson caught 4 passes for 72 yards on 4 targets (18.2% adjusted, up from 5.6%), but his declining snap share and route participation suggest reduced role going forward.
