Fred Johnson Fantasy Stats

The Philadelphia Eagles are acquiring offensive tackle Fred Johnson from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round draft pick. Johnson played for the Eagles in each of the past two seasons and will make a quick return to his former club. In 2024, Johnson appeared in all 17 regular-season games but only logged more than 70 snaps in one contest. Johnson began his career in Cincinnati and then played one season in Tampa Bay. Fantasy managers should expect Johnson to provide depth on the offensive line. Currently, starting left tackle Jordan Mailata is dealing with a concussion and left guard Landon Dickerson is recovering from a meniscus injury. If either starter were to miss time, Johnson could find a short-term starting job.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have reached a one-year, $1.33 million deal with former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Fred Johnson. Johnson appeared in all 34 games over the past two seasons with the Eagles and is entering his seventh year as a pro, having spent time with the Cincinnati Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Though the 27-year-old garnered only six starts with Philly, he logged 481 snaps for the team in 2024 (41.57%). He's Jacksonville's fourth addition on their offensive line in free agency, joining teammates Chuma Edoga, Robert Hainsey, and Patrick Mekari. Johnson will serve as a depth piece for the squad but brings valuable experience, as he was part of a unit that helped rush for an Eagles franchise record a season ago.

Former Cincinnati Bengals free-agent offensive lineman Fred Johnson is signing an undisclosed one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday, according to his agents, Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha. Johnson was released by Cincinnati after he signed his restricted free-agent tender because the Bengals signed right tackle La'el Collins. In his three seasons with the Bengals, Johnson started only eight of 23 games, and the 24-year-old will provide depth for one of the better offensive lines in the league in front of future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady.

Cincinnati Bengals restricted free-agent offensive tackle Fred Johnson recently signed his tender, but after the team signed right tackle La'el Collins, the Bengals have decided to waive Johnson, who can be claimed on waivers. It's well known that the Cincinnati offensive line was one of the worst in football last season, but Johnson was the team's best run-blocker, per Pro Football Focus. The 24-year-old likely would have been a rotational player for the Bengals in 2022, but now he could get a chance to start with another team that may claim him off waivers. Johnson spent the last three seasons with the Bengals, starting eight of the 23 games he appeared in.
