2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gardner-Johnson signed a three-year deal with the Eagles in March, returning to the organization he went to the Super Bowl with in 2022. His six interceptions that season represent half of his career total, while his 67 tackles that year remain his career high. His 2023 season was largely one to forget, as he was limited to just three regular-season games for Detroit due to a torn pectoral, though he did manage 17 tackles and an interception in limited action and was healthy for the playoffs. He projects to start at strong safety in his return to Philadelphia. Read Past Outlooks
Nabs interception in blowout win
Gardner-Johnson recorded seven total tackles (two solo) and one interception in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
The Florida product was the Eagles' second-leading tackler in Sunday's blowout win, trailing just Zack Baun's eight-stop performance. Gardner-Johnson also picked off Cooper Rush in the fourth quarter, his second interception in the Eagles' last three games. The 26-year-old now ranks in the top three on Philadelphia's defense in both interceptions and passes defended, and he's expected to continue wreaking havoc on opposing wide receivers as the season progresses.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
After tying the league lead in interceptions (six) during a strong 2022 season in Philadelphia, Gardner-Johnson priced himself out of the cash-strapped Eagles' spending range this offseason but should see all the snaps he can handle at nickel back for the Lions within coordinator Aaron Glenn's defense. Even though it would be hard to count on any defensive back to repeat the ball-hawking stat line that he put together last year, the top-35 finish in tackles among defensive backs shows Gardner-Johnson also can contribute to the box score in other areas, making him someone to keep an eye on in Detroit's up-and-coming defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Uncertain future in Detroit
Gardner-Johnson's future in Detroit could be tied to defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, Eric Woodyard of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
According to Woodyard, Gardner-Johnson and Glenn share a close bond. Therefore, if Glenn departs from the organization for the chance to be a head coach elsewhere, Gardner-Johnson's chances of returning to the Lions are likely diminished. The safety suffered an injury-riddled 2023 season, as he was limited to only three regular-season games while missing time due to a torn pectoral.
