Josh Johnson
QB - Washington Commanders
This Week Outlook
Availability
Josh Johnson completed 14 of his 22 passes for 131 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding nine carries for 45 yards and a rushing score in a 24-17 win over the Eagles in Week 18.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson also lost a fumble but it didn't prevent him from pulling off the upset win over Philly in the regular-season finale. Johnson started the final two games of the season for Washington with both Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota injured. The veteran will look to latch on with an NFL team in a reserve role in the offseason.
Josh Johnson will start again for the Commanders on Sunday against the Eagles.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson will draw a second straight start to finish the season with Marcus Mariota ruled out. He remains off the fantasy radar.
Josh Johnson completed 15-of-23 pass attempts for 198 yards and rushed twice for 10 yards in the Commanders' 30-23 Week 17 loss to the Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson kept an underwhelming Washington offense in contention Thursday in his first start of the season, as the quarterback did not turn the ball over in the close loss. The veteran signal-caller could be in line for another start behind center in a Week 18 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Josh Johnson will start in Week 17 against the Cowboys with Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota out.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson will get the crack the starting job, and while he’s serviceable as a backup, he does limit the upside of the rest of the offense and he is not a good streaming candidate. Jeff Driskel will back up Johnson.
Josh Johnson has a good chance to start on Thursday against the Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
Marcus Mariota remains unlikely to be available after he was not seen at practice on Tuesday. Johnson went 5-for-9 for 43 passing yards with one interception in relief of Mariota last week. The Commanders offense will take a hit as a result.
