I'm now pushing for a larger role for Johnson because of what it'd do for the lightening of James Cook's workload... With Johnson presumably fully healthy now, the Bills should start to move him into a a more substantial RB2 role. Even after missing two games to begin the 2026 campaign, Johnson should set career highs in carries and receptions this season.

Johnson should become Bills' clear RB2 to manage Cook's workload; projects career highs in carries and receptions.

The source argues Johnson should become Buffalo's clear RB2 over Ray Davis and be moved into a more substantial role to help lighten James Cook's workload. Johnson has been called the best third-down back in the NFL by Josh Allen, yet averaged only 3 carries per game in 2025 (50 total across 17 games) and 1.4 receptions per contest (24 catches). The source projects Johnson will set career highs in carries and receptions in 2026 despite missing the first two games, citing his 6.8 yards per touch average—more than a full yard better than Cook's efficiency—and his superior versatility as a runner.
