Quick answer
BuyJohnson ran for 106 yards and caught 1 pass in 2026, ranking RB69 through 5 games. He ranks RB69 through 5 games, up from RB111. That's pace, not a finished season. Only 10 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
