2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Bills' leading tackler in win
Johnson recorded eight tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 31-10 win at Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Sunday's game was Johnson's third in a row with at least seven total tackles as he continues to play a near-every down role for the Bills. He remains on the IDP map ahead of a Week 9 contest versus the Dolphins.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
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
Could land on IR
The Bills are evaluating whether Johnson will be placed on injured reserve due to a forearm injury, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson left Sunday's win over Arizona early and was quickly ruled out for Week 2, as Buffalo will face Miami on a short week Thursday. Coach Sean McDermott did not rule out a potential stint on injured reserve, however. Johnson is one of the better slot corners in the league and will leave a significant hole in the Bills' secondary as they take on an explosive Miami passing attack.
