He suffered an aggravation to his ankle injury in Week 4 and was able to return. Johnson has been limited in practice due to his ankle dating back to Sept. 10, so he will likely have his practice reps monitored for a long time. Still, he will likely see a full complement of snaps as long as he’s able to avoid an in-game injury.
The Cowboys have surprisingly been better on defense than anyone almost expected. They shut down New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees in Week 4 for three quarters and are on a three-game winning streak. Johnson will likely see a lot of cornerback Orlando Scandrick, who has helped transform Dallas' D.
Fantasy impact: Owners are still waiting for him to score a touchdown, but the catches are there. Johnson is still a safe play as a WR2 and there is a bit of a buy-low window on him.
