The Bills signed Cameron Johnston, replacing Brad Robbins after Week 1, in a veteran punt move aimed at boosting field position for a team that leans on fourth downs. Johnston, 33, from Australia and a Ohio State alum, has averaged 47.3 yards per punt with 40.9% inside the 20 across eight NFL seasons. Buffalo targets a Super Bowl window, hoping his leg and placement improve punting efficiency. The Johnston meme-fun aside, this helps the Bills’ overall positioning and special-teams upside.

Fantasy-wise, punters rarely swing rosters, but better field position can tilt outcomes for Bills’ defense and any kicker in favorable matchups. Johnston’s workload may be tempered by Buffalo’s aggressive fourth-down approach, but the upgrade behind center can still yield subtle dividends in real-game script and opponent starting field position.

Buffalo Bills sign Cameron Johnston after Week 2 comeback win over Baltimore, waiving Brad Robbins.

Johnston beat Corliss Waitman in Pittsburgh’s offseason battle; bills add veteran punter with 96 NFL games for a more stable punting unit as they push for a run at the title.

No. 5 is the new focal point for the Steelers with Jalen Ramsey wearing the number after a blockbuster swap sent Minkah Fitzpatrick to Miami. The countdown to Week 1 vs Jets at MetLife centers on the No. 5 legacy: Ramsey’s elite pedigree, the five Steelers who’ve worn the digit, and Craig Colquitt’s legendary punting stretch as the franchise’s top No. 5. The piece knots the trade, the roster history, and the fantasy angles tied to a stronger secondary and improved special-teams ceiling.

The history shows Ramsey joined a secondary poised to lock down receivers, while the old No. 5 lineage includes Cameron Johnston, D’Shawn Jamison, Joshua Dobbs, and Bruce Gradkowski. Colquitt’s punt volume anchors the tradition as the greatest No. 5 wearer, a reminder that production from special teams can tilt fantasy DSTs and punt-related plays. Jets loom as Week 1 opponent, amplifying the intrigue for Week 1 lineups.

The Steelers released Cameron Johnston after an unexpected punt-battle with Corliss Waitman, leaving fantasy managers and fans surprised that Johnston didn’t win the job.

Waitman now looks set to handle Pittsburgh’s punting duties, with contract dynamics and veteran stability cited by some as the reason for the move. Reactions ranged from outrage to defense of the cap/ploy choices, and one fan even suggested the club prioritized contract leverage over flat-out kicking talent.

The fallout centers on field position, hang time, and the potential draft-cap angle of the move, while Johnston becomes a free agent. For fantasy purposes, the change matters mostly in leagues that credit punting or special-teams KS; otherwise, day-to-day fantasy impact remains modest unless Waitman’s numbers swing dramatically.
