Ty Johnson, whose technical distinction as the RB2 behind Cook smudges over the fact that Johnson plays an entirely different position than Cook. Johnson is not the replacement for Cook's functions.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Ty Johnson is a false Cook handcuff; his RB-WR role won't expand if Cook misses time.

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.
