Scouting report

NYJ RB Chris Johnson - Week 14, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14: Johnson vs Vikings

Chris Johnson split snaps and carries with Chris Ivory from the tailback spot which is what we can expect the rest of the season barring injuries. Johnson did eclipse the 100-yard mark for the first time this season aided by a 47-yard run. He still has not had a touchdown since Week 4, his only score of the season.

Johnson has a good matchup this week against the Vikings who are 29th in aFPA to running backs and despite the running backs splitting carries, the Jets intend to run the football as much as possible to protect QB Geno Smith. Start Johnson as a flex or RB3 for Week 14 against Minnesota.

NYJ RB Chris Johnson - Week 13, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13: Johnson vs Dolphins

Chris Johnson is still clearly the backup to Chris Ivory on paper, but he played more snaps than Ivory last week (32 to 26). So does this mean Johnson is moving past Ivory? Too early to tell as we will truly call this a two-back rotation. The Jets offense is really in shambles and with Geno Smith returning to his role as the starting quarterback, it probably won't get better.

Keep Johnson on the bench against a Dolphins defense that is 16th in aFPA to running backs. It's a neutral matchup but that's not enough to help any of the Jets at this point.

NYJ RB Chris Johnson - Week 12, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12: Johnson vs Bills

Chris Johnson is getting about 8 to 10 touches per game and he coming off the bye week, that trend should continue. He is clearly the backup behind Chris Ivory.

Johnson will face a Bills defense that is 2nd in aFPA to running backs so the matchup is bad, too. Keep Johnson on the bench for Week 12.

NYJ RB Chris Johnson - Week 10, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10: Johnson vs Steelers

Chris Johnson actually had more carries than Chris Ivory last week, but that does not mean their roles have changed. The game was a blowout and Ivory was rested. Expect the touches to go back in Ivory's favor this week.

Johnson still has a role in the offense and the Steelers aFPA is 14th to running backs, so expect some results from him. He could help you as an RB3 or flex.

NYJ RB Chris Johnson - Week 8, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8: Johnson vs Bills
Chris Johnson is still getting on the field, but he clearly is the No. 2 to Chris Ivory and his numbers are still low overall despite 80 total yards last week, his highest total since Week 1.

It's a tough matchup for all the Jets' backs as Buffalo is 2nd in aFPA to running backs. Keep Johnson on the bench for Week 8 as the Bills will not be as soft against the run as the Patriots were last week.

NYJ RB Chris Johnson - Week 7, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7: Johnson vs. Patriots
Chris Johnson had his lowest output of the season last week - only three carries and one catch. Johnson has clearly fallen out of favor with the Jets coaching staff. He also has a bum ankle so everything is against him right now. The only good news was he did get 20 snaps which was the same as Chris Ivory and Bilal Powell.

Johnson has been one of the fantasy disappointments this season. Don't expect anything to change this week against New England. Keep him on the bench for Week 7.

NYJ RB Chris Johnson - Week 6, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6: Johnson vs. Broncos
The carries were in single digits again last week for Chris Johnson. He is the backup for the Jets, at least for now. Even though the Broncos have been average against the run, Johnson should be on the bench for Week 6.
