Fantasy Impact:
Johnson notched six wins and 12 holds in his first full Atlanta year in 2024—now stepping up with Joe Jimenez (knee) sidelined until at least the All-Star break, though a shaky start could see Hector Neris, signed March 3 with 31 holds in 2023, push him. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can target him for holds; he’s got the gig but isn’t locked.
