Summary
Kaleb Johnson carries a 44.0 dynasty score, ranking 149 at RB. His 2025 season stats indicate a limited role, and with 3 years remaining on his contract, his role security is uncertain.
Projection Rationale
Johnson’s 2025 season stats (69 rushing yards, 28 attempts, 9 receiving yards, and 1/2 target) indicate limited production. His Verdict grades show him at the 11th percentile in production and the 50th percentile in efficiency, suggesting room for growth. Johnson has 3 years remaining on his contract, providing some stability, but his snap share trend is concerning.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Johnson’s Verdict durability grade is at the 75th percentile, which is a positive sign, but his age (22) suggests some risk.
Opportunity Notes
Johnson’s snap share trended down from 4.0% to 6.0% over the course of the season. With the Steelers’ new coaching staff, it’s unclear whether Johnson will regain his previous role.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Brian Angelichio coordinates a west_coast offense with a 65.8% shotgun rate and 24.7% 12 personnel usage. This scheme may help Johnson’s production, but his limited role and snap share trend are concerns.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Johnson’s snap share decreased from 4.0% to 6.0% over the course of the season, indicating a downward trend.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: Johnson can finish as a top-3 RB3 if he regains his previous role and sees increased snap share. Floor: Johnson can finish as a RB5 or lower if his snap share remains limited.
Comparable Player
Lamar Smith, 1988-1993.
