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
Second pick of season
Johnson intercepted a pass and posted two tackles in the Bears' 21-16 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
With just five tackles over the first three games of the season, Johnson will need to continue picking off passes to have enough IDP value to be a reliable fantasy starter. However, Johnson has intercepted seven passes in his six years in the league, so it's unlikely he posts big interception numbers.

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.
