KeeSean Johnson Fantasy

The Atlanta Falcons signed former Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers wide receiver KeeSean Johnson to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday. The Falcons can never have too much receiver depth after losing Calvin Ridley to a year-long suspension and Russell Gage in free agency in the offseason, but Johnson will merely be trying to win a spot on the roster to open the 2022 season. The 25-year-old was cut by the Niners on Monday. The former sixth-round selection by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019 spent the 2021 season with the Philadelphia Eagles, but he didn't play in a regular season game. In two years with the Cardinals, Johnson had 36 catches on 65 targets for 360 yards and one touchdown in 18 games (five starts).

The Arizona Cardinals cut wide receiver KeeSean Johnson on Monday. Johnson spent two years in Arizona. He was drafted in the sixth round of the 2019 draft and started five games, racking up 36 catches for 360 yards and a touchdown. Johnson competed with Andy Isabella, Greg Dortch, and Antoine Wesley for the fifth wide receiver spot. Isabella will likely win that battle when it's all said and done. As for Johnson, he will hit the free agency market in hopes of signing with another club. Some teams needing a fifth or sixth wide receiver could give Johnson an opportunity as the season begins.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver KeeSean Johnson could be in line for an expanded role in the team's Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams. The team will be without both Larry Fitzgerald (groin) and Christian Kirk (COVID-19) this week, making Johnson the team's likely No. 2 receiver with Andy Isabella as their No. 3. DeAndre Hopkins should be in line for a massive workload, but quarterback Kyler Murray might find himself needing to trust other receivers as well and Johnson is the most likely beneficiary. The Rams have the league's top pass defense, so things won't be easy for Johnson, but he might be worth a dart throw in daily leagues if you need someone cheap to fill out your lineup.
