Avery Johnson

QuarterbackQB
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The time has come for Johnson to establish himself as the future of Kansas State. The youngster flashed in his true freshman season, including five rushing touchdowns at Texas Tech in Week 7 of the 2023 season. Johnson was understandably not yet ready for a full-time role and split reps with Will Howard, who has since left for the starting job at Ohio State. If Johnson's accuracy and understanding of the playbook have improved, watch out. He could be a fantasy dynamite with a true dual-threat skillset. In just eight games with limited snaps last year, Johnson posted 12 total touchdowns. Johnson could be in for a monster season with the Wildcats if extrapolated over an entire season in as a full-time starter. Read Past Outlooks
Throws game-winning TD
October 13, 2024
Johnson completed 15 of 23 passes for 224 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 31-28 victory against Colorado. He also had seven rushes for -15 yards with one touchdown.
ANALYSIS
Johnson made up for a costly interception in the biggest way possible as he threw a long touchdown pass to Jayce Brown late in the fourth quarter. Johnson has at least two touchdown passes in five of his six games this year. Although he's considered a dual-threat quarterback, more of his offensive production has been through the air. He's completing 61.7 percent of his passes for 1,103 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions compared to 306 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Johnson and the Wildcats will play at West Virginia next week.
