Josh Johnson

37-Year-Old QuarterbackQB
Baltimore Ravens
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson is back with the Ravens for the second time in three years after spending 2022 in San Francisco. The veteran journeyman adds experienced depth in the quarterback room and creates added competition for second-year quarterback, Anthony Brown, to vie for the No.3 QB spot on the roster. Tyler Huntley appears firmly entrenched as Lamar Jackson's backup, however. Read Past Outlooks

September 25, 2023
The Ravens signed Johnson on Monday, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
ANALYSIS
After being released by Baltimore just a couple days ago, Johnson cleared waivers and is now back with his old team. There's recently been some ambiguity regarding who is the Ravens' top backup between him and Tyler Huntley, an important role given that Lamar Jackson has missed at least one game for four consecutive seasons leading up to 2023.

Johnson signed a one-year deal with the Broncos this offseason, joining his 14th team. The 36-year-old veteran appeared in four games last season between the Jets and the Ravens, completing 57 of 85 passes for 638 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions. Johnson is the favorite to be the primary backup to Russell Wilson this season, though he'll face competition from Brett Rypien, who played just three snaps as Denver's No. 3 quarterback in 2021.
Johnson was sitting on the couch when the Lions came calling after backup quarterback Tom Savage went down in the preseason with a concussion. Given Savage's history of head injuries, it's possible he could be sidelined for a while. Johnson could thus enter the season as the No. 2 option behind Matthew Stafford, though the job battle between him and David Fales for said gig could come down to the final week of exhibition play.
Johnson will compete with and likely lose to Geno Smith for the Giants backup quarterback job. It's unlikely the team will carry three QBs on its roster.
Johnson is in jeopardy of not making it past the roster cuts in 2014. The team has already stated that Blaine Gabbert will serve as the primary backup for Colin Kaepernick, and Johnson is the only remaining quarterback who is not practice squad eligible.
Johnson is expected to serve as Andy Dalton's backup in 2013.
Johnson, who is a very athletic player player at the No.2 QB position, could see a few snaps in the Wildcat or some trick plays in 2011. Don't expect much more than this unless Josh Freeman were to get hurt at some point.
Johnson is entrenched as the Buccaneers' No.2 QB and therefore will not have much fantasy value in 2010 barring an injury to starter Josh Freeman. He is still a bit raw, as evidenced by his 2009 numbers in the four starts he received as he only completed 50.4% of his passes for 685 yards, four touchdowns, and eight interceptions. He is however a great athlete, as evidenced by his 148 yards rushing on 6.7 yards per carry and has therefore been discussed by the team for use in the Wildcat.
Along with the signing of QB Byron Leftwich, the drafting of QB Josh Freeman in the first round of the NFL draft does not bode well for second-year QB Johnson being a member of the Buccaneers in 2009. Johnson will most likely have to have a strong training camp just so he can hook on with another team.
The Bucs drafted Johnson in the fifth round out of Division I-AA San Diego, where he was very effective as both a runner and a passer. This year will be a learning experience for him; hopefully, he'll see nothing but clipboard duty and get his feet wet for 2009.
