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

March 8, 2026
The Bills traded Johnson and a 2026 seventh-round pick to the Raiders in return for a 2026 sixth-round pick Sunday, Vincent Bonsignore of the California Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson was slated to be released by Buffalo ahead of the new league year, but the team was able find a last-minute trade partner. The cornerback is coming off of a 2025 campaign during which he compiled 57 total tackles (34 solo) and four passes defensed over 13 regular-season contests. Johnson now will compete for a starting role in the secondary with Las Vegas in 2026.

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.
Though Johnson has a modest total of four interceptions in five pro seasons with the Bills, on the plus side his stats at cornerback look more like those an in-the-box strong safety. In 2022 he started 15 games and totaled 90 tackles, six tackles for loss and nine passes defended. Johnson is in his prime entering his age-27 season and will be counted on as the nickel corner in arguably the best secondary in the NFL, a context that puts the 2018 fourth-rounder on the fantasy radar.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Long Bills tenure concludes
CBFree Agent
March 6, 2026
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.
