Jaylon Johnson Fantasy

Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson (shoulder) and safety Deon Bush (foot) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota. Johnson has been a staple of the Bears Defense as a rookie, having been removed from last week's contest due to a shoulder ailment. The team will likely rely on Kindle Vildor in an expanded capacity Sunday to attempt to corral Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson, while the absence of Bush also decreases the team's depth in the secondary. Irrespective of Johnson and Bush's injuries, Chicago's defense remains an above-average unit in Week 15 due to the team's propensity for sacks, in addition to having held the Vikings to 19 points the last time that the teams matched up this season.

The Chicago Bears used the 50th pick in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft to solidify their secondary, grabbing cornerback Jaylon Johnson out of Utah. Johnson finished 2019 with 36 tackles and two interceptions in 13 games played. The Utah product brings a persistent mindset and is known for his tight coverage. The only downside is his tendency be overaggressive at times. With Kyle Fuller and Buster Skrine slated to be the starting corners for Chicago, Johnson will likely be inserted into a backup cornerback role and have to prove himself before he can take a starting role.
