2022 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson has posted similar stats in the two years he's been with the Bears. He's averaged 3.3 tackles in his career but has just a single interception. However, he played 889 snaps last year, and it's possible that opportunity leads to increased production. He could be worth a late draft pick in IDP leagues after the high-end CB options are off the board. Read Past Outlooks

Ends season on injured reserve

January 8, 2023
Johnson (finger/ribs) ended the season with 35 tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 11 games.
ANALYSIS
Johnson was placed on injured reserve after Week 15. Prior, he played 11 games. He failed to intercept a pass, and he has just one pick during his three years in the league. As a tackler, he averaged 3.2 per game, though his game-to-game production was inconsistent. Unless his situation changes next year, he'll be a moderate-floor, low-upside IDP option. He's under contract with the team through the 2023 season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
With top cornerback Kyle Fuller no longer on the Bears, Johnson becomes the team's top option at the position. Otherwise, question marks abound in this group. Consequently, opposing quarterbacks may choose to attack other corners, which could lead to a downturn in Johnson's stats. As a rookie last year, the second-round pick accounted for 15 passes defended in 13 games while allowing a QB rating of 96.9 on passes thrown his way. In terms of Johnson's potential production, it's difficult to predict, based on whether offenses choose to attack him, making him a risky investment as an IDP.
After letting Prince Amukamara walk in free agency, the Bears spent a second-round pick on Johnson, who has an excellent chance to start at cornerback Week 1. Assuming he seizes that role, he'll immediately have IDP value, as he should have a floor of a few tackles per game. However, because Chicago doesn't possess an elite offense, the team may not be in many shootouts, which could limit the number of passes opposing offenses have to throw and thus hurt Johnson's fantasy upside.
