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.

RANKS
Earns three-year extension
The Bills signed Johnson to a three-year extension Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson's new deal reportedly makes him the NFL's highest-paid nickelback, a deserved payday for the All-Pro. While appearing in all 17 regular-season games last year, he posted a career-high 98 total tackles. Johnson's versatility and ability to contribute as arguably the NFL's best nickel corner makes him instrumental for Buffalo's secondary, but for fantasy purposes he's a player to consider in lineups while not projecting as a must-start option in most IDP formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not expected to play Sunday
Johnson, who is dealing with a groin injury, is not expected to play Sunday against the Texans, according to Sal Maiorana of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
ANALYSIS
The Bills elevated Cam Lewis from the practice squad, which means Johnson is likely out. The fact that he didn't practice Thursday or Friday is not an encouraging sign for his availability, either. This isn't the ideal scenario for the Bills, as their secondary will be quite thin in terms of depth considering Jordan Poyer is ruled out due to an ankle injury.
