The New York Jets are 1-5 and looking for answers and the only one they have found through six games is that Chris Johnson isn't the player they paid for.
According to Pro Football Focus via Rotoworld, the Jets are starting to phase Johnson out of the offense and they aren't hiding it through six games. Pro Football Focus charted how many touches Johnson has received since joining the Jets.

“Chris Johnson played 21 of the Jets' 63 offensive snaps in Week 6. That's 33.3 percent. Slowly but surely, CJdoneK is being phased out of the Jets' offense. His carry totals with New York, in chronological order from Weeks 1-6, are 13, 12, 10, 6, 7, and 3. Johnson is Pro Football Focus' No. 52-graded runner out of 56 qualifiers. He finished last year 48th out of 55.”
Johnson signed with the Jets after being released by the Tennessee Titans this past offseason. The Jets scooped up the once dangerous CJ2K, but as the Titans saw, that player is no longer the one they see before them.
