2024 Fantasy Outlook
Derrick Henry is no longer in Tennessee, but the team will still need a physical running back to complement the speed and shiftiness of Tyjae Spears and Tony Pollard, who figure to lead the Titans backfield in 2024. Johnson might be that guy. Signed as a UDFA out of Washington, Johnson can grind out yardage inside the tackles and has the balance to stay upright in heavy traffic. He won't run away from defenders, but he could see enough goal-line work to have value if he makes the gameday roster. Read Past Outlooks
Sent to injured list
The Panthers placed Johnson (undisclosed) on the practice-squad/injured list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Johnson will be sidelined for a minimum of four games. The 23-year-old went undrafted out of Mississippi State earlier this year and spent parts of the offseason with the Titans and Panthers. He's been on Carolina's practice squad all season but has yet to appear in a regular-season contest.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to go in Round 6 or 7
Johnson will likely be drafted on Day 3, according to the comprehensive 2024 NFL Draft Guide compiled by Dane Brugler of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Johnson is viewed as a sixth-round or seventh-round prospect, far below numerous other members of the explosive Washington offense that helped the Huskies reach the College Football Playoff National Championship Game this past season, including quarterback Michael Penix and wide receiver Rome Odunze. The 6-foot, 215-pound running back rushed for 1,195 yards and 16 touchdowns with Washington in 2023 after mustering a combined 1,198 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns across three years at Mississippi State.
