Yahoo Sports NFL on Ty Johnson
From the article
Allen's favorite third-down specialist, Ty Johnson has roared to life since his return from a hamstring injury at the end of training camp this past August. Though perhaps still viewed as an unfortunate and unfair slight to Cook, it's now clear that Johnson takes priority on most third downs simply because of his talent as a receiver.
STACKED’s take
Johnson's return sparks third-down role; could lead Bills in receiving yards.
Johnson has roared to life since his return from a hamstring injury at the end of training camp in August. Allen's favorite third-down specialist, Johnson takes priority on most third downs due to his talent as a receiver. He is a legitimate threat to take any screen pass the distance; a deceptive speed demon who wastes no time getting from point A to B and beyond. Standing predicts Johnson could lead the Bills in receiving yards in Week 8 against Baltimore, a bold call that would require north of 60 yards (+1280 odds at FanDuel). Johnson has gone over 50 yards twice in four games this season. The last time Johnson faced the Ravens, he was held without a catch on two targets.
