29-Year-Old CornerbackCB
Buffalo Bills
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson's 2024 campaign got off to a rough start, as a forearm injury sustained Week 1 forced him to sit out four games, but he impressed when on the field. Across 12 regular-season appearances, Johnson racked up 65 tackles (42 solo), including 1.0 sacks, plus five passes defensed, including two interruptions, and one forced fumble. He remains locked in as Buffalo's top slot corner, a role which carries valuable production opportunities as long as Johnson remains in command of it. Read Past Outlooks

Passes concussion test
CBBuffalo Bills
August 9, 2025
Johnson was evaluated for a concussion and has been cleared to return to Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Johnson was slow to get up after making a tackle late in the first quarter. He has been given the green light to return, though he's unlikely to see much more action (if any) given that it's the preseason.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Johnson is limited primarily to slot duties, and thus has been one of the main beneficiaries of the explosion of three-wide receiver sets across the league. He's played over 800 defensive snaps in each of the last four seasons and topped 900 in each of the last two campaigns. That's led to a minimum seven of seven pass breakups in each season in that span. The Bills rewarded him with a three-year, $30.75 million contract extension during the offseason, making him a safe bet to pencil into the same role he's occupied for the last several seasons.
Though Johnson has a modest total of four interceptions in five pro seasons with the Bills, on the plus side his stats at cornerback look more like those an in-the-box strong safety. In 2022 he started 15 games and totaled 90 tackles, six tackles for loss and nine passes defended. Johnson is in his prime entering his age-27 season and will be counted on as the nickel corner in arguably the best secondary in the NFL, a context that puts the 2018 fourth-rounder on the fantasy radar.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not expected to miss time
CBBuffalo Bills
June 9, 2025
Johnson underwent shoulder surgery immediately after the 2024 season ended for the Bills, but he expects to be fully healthy when training camp gets underway, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
The slot corner played through a torn labrum last season, but Johnson has already recovered from the surgery well enough to participate in OTAs, albeit while wearing a red non-contact jersey. Johnson recorded 65 tackles and a career-high two interceptions over 12 regular-season games for Buffalo in 2024.
