Johnson

Johnson is now the Bucs No. 3 QB. Tim Brown is starting opposite Charles Lee at wideout.

The small chance that Johnson would be moved was probably squashed when Chris Simms was injured last week.

Johnson is “open to any option to get back on the field.” Baltimore could potentially have interest, but we doubt it.

Arizona and Detroit are two teams that could be interested once he hits the open market.

The team may retain him until they work out a deal for another veteran QB. It could just be hot air though: it makes little sense to keep Johnson’s $4.5 million contract as insurance.

He was even better than the numbers indicated because of a few drops and plenty of passes thrown away. Johnson isn’t an exciting fantasy option, but he impresses us every time we watch him. He’s a decent QB2 as long as he’s healthy, but the schedule gets tough the next two weeks.

Johnson was replaced for playing poorly in the first half of Sunday’s game. Obviously, his fantasy value is questionable right now and his owners should at least look at replacing him.

We’re not sure if he was injured or taken out for a poor first half yet.

Johnson looked woeful for most of the game, before racking up stats during garbage time. With few weapons around him, we wouldn’t expect Johnson to post many games like this.

Johnson looked worse than him numbers indicate. He took too many sacks and never got in a groove. It will take quite a few games like this before Johnson is on the hot seat, however.
