Ty Johnson
RB
Buffalo BillsQ
- Teammate Dalton Kincaid (a top target) is questionable.
- Teammate DJ Moore (a top target) is questionable.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how RBs have played against the Jets in the 2026 season.
RB2 = the second-highest-scoring RB against Jets in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Ty Johnson should do vs the JetsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Jets, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Ty Johnson has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Jets opponents to line them up with: the best RB they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Ty Johnson will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Jets avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Ty Johnson's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Ty Johnson usually produces.
Projected is Ty Johnson's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Jets were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

Difference is what the defense allows minus what Johnson averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Start / Sit · Ty JohnsonGood confidence · 5.6 proj pts1/10 start
- Ty Johnson averages 6.7 PPR points over 5 games (recent-weighted 6.4) and has played as the team's RB2.
- The Jets have allowed 4.4 points to RB2s over 8 games (-14% vs league). The model applies 73% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -10% adjustment.
- Last season's average (5.9) is blended in at 29% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Injury report: Questionable. The projection assumes the player plays.
- Projection: 5.6 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level RB scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 20.9.
- A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.
Prediction & chance to scoreTy Johnson vs the Jets
Prediction for Ty Johnson
Nobody knows which slot Ty Johnson will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Jets.
I predict about 5.6 points for Ty Johnson if playing as a RB2. Ty Johnson has averaged 6.7 over 5 games, and the Jets have given up 4.4 to RB2s (-14% vs the league average of 5.1).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Ty Johnson scored: Wk 3 9.0, Wk 4 3.2, Wk 5 11.2, Wk 6 4.7, Wk 8 5.3. Average 6.7; weighted toward recent games it is 6.3.
2. The defense. Over 8 games, the Jets allowed 4.4 points to their opponent's RB2. The league average for that slot is 5.1, so that is -14%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 8 defensive games, only 73% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -10% adjustment (x0.90).
4. Result. 6.3 x 0.90 = 5.6. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.
It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely Ty Johnson is to reach it as a RB2.
Why this percentage?
The projection (5.6) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 3.3 points, leaning on Ty Johnson's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical RB swings before that).
Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 6.
With only 5 games of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.
