Bisi Johnson Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bisi Johnson (knee) tore his ACL during Saturday's preseason contest against the Denver Broncos. After missing all of last season with the same injury, Johnson will be sidelined for another. The 25-year-old had a decent rookie campaign in 2019, finishing with 31 catches for 294 yards and three touchdowns. However, his production dwindled in 2020. With knee ailments keeping Johnson off the field, it wouldn't be surprising if he has already played his final game with the Vikings, although his absence won't impact fantasy managers much.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bisi Johnson caught three passes for 29 yards in Saturday's 17-7 preseason loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Johnson was able to command the most targets in this one with six while finishing tied with Nick Muse for the team lead in receiving yards. The 25-year-old has an uphill climb to significant playing time in the Minnesota offense, as Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, and K.J. Osborn headline the wide receiver group. The Vikings figure to run a lot of three-WR sets, so Johnson's best-case scenario for fantasy relevance would be locking up the No. 4 wide receiver role and having someone ahead of him miss time. Still, he would need to beat out Ihmir Smith-Marsette for the WR4 spot on the depth chart. As of now, he is not on the fantasy radar.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bisi Johnson was placed on injured reserve and is out for the 2021 season. Johnson tore his ACL during practice last week and surgery certainly is in the near future. The Vikings recently added to their receivers group by signing former Jaguars wideout Dede Westbrook but losing Johnson will affect their depth. The 24-year-old really shined during training camp last season but caught only 14 passes for 189 yards last season in a limited role.
