2023 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson was brought along slowly as a rookie, though he showed some flashes of the pass rushing potential that prompted the Jets to pick him 26th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. After finishing with 2.5 sacks in 2022, Johnson will push for more playing time in 2023, though he will have to earn it in a pass rushing rotation that added Will McDonald with the 15th overall pick in 2023 and is returning veterans Carl Lawson and John Franklin-Myers. Read Past Outlooks
Breaks out in second season
Johnson had 7.5 sacks among his 55 tackles (36 solo) in 2023, while adding seven passes defensed, including an interception that he returned for a touchdown.
ANALYSIS
Johnson's 37-yard pick six in Week 17 against the Browns was the cherry on top of a breakout sophomore season in which the 2022 first-round draft pick showed off his versatility with 7.5 sacks and seven passes defensed. Johnson's expected to maintain a starting role on the edge in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Says ankle is good
Johnson indicated that his ankle injury isn't too serious in a post-game tweet after the Jets' Week 5 win over the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
"I'm good!," Johnson tweeted. "Great team win!" Johnson left the game in the second half due to an ankle injury, and while it remains to be seen whether the rookie defensive lineman will be healthy enough to suit up in Week 6 against the Packers, it at least appears that Johnson will avoid a lengthy absence.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Viewed by some as a possible top-10 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Johnson slid to No. 26 before the Jets traded back into the first round to snag him. Coming off a productive senior season at Florida State that included 11.5 sacks and 17.5 tackles for loss, Johnson should immediately bolster a Jets pass rush that has been lacking an effective edge rusher for years. Even if Carl Lawson comes back healthy from an Achilles' injury that kept him out for all of last season, Johnson should see plenty of playing time from the get-go in an edge rotation with Lawson and the versatile John-Franklin Myers.
