2023 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson joined Jacksonville on a one-year deal in March but may have a difficult time earning a spot on the season-opening roster. The 27-year-old totaled 671 scrimmage yards and three scores for the Browns during the 2021 campaign, but he received just seven offensive touches last season while primarily playing special teams. Travis Etienne is locked in as the starter with third-round rookie Tank Bigsby also guaranteed a roster spot, leaving Johnson to battle it out for slotting with JaMycal Hasty, Snoop Conner and Quadree Ollison.

Gets chance in Jacksonville
Johnson agreed Wednesday with the Jaguars on a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson is coming off a quiet 2022 campaign with the Browns, but he flashed in limited opportunities back in 2021, when he handled 100 carries for 534 yards and three scores. The 27-year-old could now get a chance to compete with the likes of JaMycal Hasty and Snoop Conner for complementary work behind No. 1 running back Travis Etienne, making him an interesting end-of-roster flier in dynasty or best-ball formats.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2019
Arguably the best No. 3 back in the league, Johnson got a chance to show what he could do
last year when both Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt were out midseason. As the starter Week 7
against Denver, Johnson erupted for 168 total yards and a TD, then added 157 more yards a
few weeks later against the Patriots. While he doesn't have breakaway speed, he runs with
impressive power and finds a way to grind out extra yards, recording 10 broken tackles on only
100 carries last year. That was the fifth-best rate in the league among backs with triple-digit
carries, and only a hair behind Chubb's 9.9 carries per broken tackle. Cleveland's passing game will be a bigger point of emphasis with Deshaun Watson under center, however, and while
Johnson should be effective again with his touches, he'd probably need a serious injury ahead
of him on the depth chart (or a trade) to see significant volume.
