2025 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson's 2024 campaign got off to a rough start, as a forearm injury sustained Week 1 forced him to sit out four games, but he impressed when on the field. Across 12 regular-season appearances, Johnson racked up 65 tackles (42 solo), including 1.0 sacks, plus five passes defensed, including two interruptions, and one forced fumble. He remains locked in as Buffalo's top slot corner, a role which carries valuable production opportunities as long as Johnson remains in command of it. Read Past Outlooks
Released by the Bills in March of 2026.
Bills set to part ways
The Bills are slated to release Johnson, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson, who the Bills took in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, is coming off a 2025 season in which he recorded 57 tackles in 13 regular-season games (including eight starts). The 29-year-old slot cornerback should have little problem catching on elsewhere in free agency.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Johnson is limited primarily to slot duties, and thus has been one of the main beneficiaries of the explosion of three-wide receiver sets across the league. He's played over 800 defensive snaps in each of the last four seasons and topped 900 in each of the last two campaigns. That's led to a minimum seven of seven pass breakups in each season in that span. The Bills rewarded him with a three-year, $30.75 million contract extension during the offseason, making him a safe bet to pencil into the same role he's occupied for the last several seasons.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Long Bills tenure concludes
Johnson was among several veterans released by the Bills on Friday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson's release saves the Bills approximately $1.9 million in cap space and ends an eight-season tenure in Buffalo for the veteran. Getzenberg notes Johnson's release is one of the first noteworthy personnel moves related to the team's shift from its customary 4-3 defense to a 3-4 alignment under new coordinator Jim Leonhard. Given his success as a nickel cornerback, Johnson could find a fairly robust market for his services.
