Fantasy Impact:

Gardner-Johnson brings high-motor and high-effort play to the slot/box for Philadelphia. The move comes with one year remaining on his rookie deal, likely signifying that contract talks weren't going very well. Philadelphia will likely extend him soon and, alongside DBs Darius Slay and James Bradberry, the Eagles DST is looking strong. The unit is going on average as the DST19.
