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.

Questionable with pop-up illness
Johnson (illness) did not practice Friday and is questionable for Chicago's Week 16 game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Johnson popped up on Chicago's injury report Friday with an illness, and he's now at risk of missing the conference matchup versus Detroit. The fifth-year cornerback has not yet missed an outing this season, and his game status should be revealed approximately 90 minutes before kickoff on Sunday morning.

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.

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.
