Johnson positioned for significant target increase under Brady's Payton-style offense.

Bills RBs including Ty Johnson have been noticeably more involved as pass catchers in training camp practices under new head coach Joe Brady, who is a 'Sean Payton disciple.' Payton's offenses have ranked inside the top eight in running back target share every year since 2013, with multiple seasons at 28-32% target share. The source projects the Bills could increase from 92 running back targets in 2025 to approximately 157 targets in 2026 if they adopt a 28% running back target share under Brady's system, representing a statistically significant increase.
