The trade acquisition has underperformed expectations with only 104 yards on 3.7 yards per carry through six weeks. Johnson's struggles align with the team's broader running game issues, which rank in the bottom four in rushing yards, DVOA, and PFF grades, making him a secondary option behind Lloyd.

Johnson's role in Green Bay's backfield has been usurped by Pierre Strong, who dominated him in Week 6. The source notes that Johnson disappointed badly enough for Strong to get his shot, and Strong's pass-catching ability (five of six for 39 yards) and dominance of long-down-and-distance and two-minute snaps suggest Johnson's role is now in jeopardy.

Johnson averages 3.7 yards per carry for the Packers despite early offensive line struggles, providing context for Lloyd's historically poor 2.5 Y/A. While Johnson's numbers are bolstered by a few long runs and he has been bad on a per-play basis, he at least has some positive production to show.

Kaleb Johnson has been a non-factor in the Packers offense for two straight weeks following his Week 4 fumble against Tampa Bay. In Week 5 against Chicago, Johnson played only nine snaps (all in garbage time), while MarShawn Lloyd played 27 and Pierre Strong Jr. played 25. In Week 6 against Dallas, Johnson received even fewer looks, playing just two snaps. The source notes Johnson is under a three-year cost-controlled rookie contract and may be scratched as a developmental prospect when Josh Jacobs is activated, with Strong potentially elevated as a game-day replacement.
