Wide Receiver Rank: #20
Overall: #70
Whatever name you want to call him, Johnson was a disappointment last season. He was hampered with the loss of Carson Palmer, but his teammate T.J. Houshmandzadeh still produced decent numbers. Johnson had more than 60-receiving yards in a game just once all last season. His 540-receiving yards was his lowest number since his rookie season. Before last year, Johnson had six straight 1,000-yard seasons. Johnson still has plenty of talent, but needs to work hard this offseason and hope Palmer comes back healthy for his stats to rebound. Johnson is a big-play threat that can stretch the field in a hurry. He also has plus hands and runs good routes, but lacked some explosiveness last season.

Johnson is a good buy-low candidate. He can produce like a No. 1 fantasy receiver and you should be able to grab him as a No. 2 or 3. He won't get you a ton of scores, but another 1,000-yard season and around 80 receptions can happen. Again, most of this hinges on if Palmer is healthy and playing well. |
