2024 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson is an example of a very good player not being a great IDP. Last year, he played extremely well in coverage. As a result, opposing teams often chose to throw passes in the direction of the lesser Chicago cornerbacks. During his four seasons, the Utah product has recorded between 35 and 46 tackles. Even though Johnson intercepted four passes in 2023, the corner has a total of five in his career. Unless he sees a sharp increase in passes thrown his way, he'll remain a low-ceiling IDP.

RANKS
Unlikely to return vs. Green Bay
Johnson (quadriceps) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Johnson suffered a quadriceps injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game, and it appears unlikely that he will return for the fourth quarter after going back to the locker room. Kyler Gordon could shift over from slot to outside corner, or Terell Smith could come in for Johnson. On the season, Johnson posted a career-high 53 tackles, though he only had two interceptions. Chicago's No. 1 cornerback is signed through 2027.

2020
After being selected in the second round of the 2020 draft by the Bears, Johnson enters his fourth year with the team. It is also the last year of his rookie contract. During his three seasons, he missed 11 games. In addition, Johnson has only intercepted one pass, though he averaged 42 tackles. He'll need to prove he's reliable to retain his starting job, especially after the team spent second-round picks the past two years on Kyler Gordon and Tyrique Stevenson.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Remaining in Chicago
The Bears re-signed Johnson to a four-year, $76 million deal with $54 million in guaranteed money on Thursday, Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN report.
ANALYSIS
Johnson will get $43.8 million as a signing bonus and draw a 2024 salary of $28 million, according to Schefter's and Fowler's sources. While the Bears did not confirm the financial details, it's no secret they were intent on keeping the Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro in the fold following a season in which the conerback recorded a career-high four interceptions, including a pick-six.
