Cedric Johnson exploded in Week 2, racking up two solos, one assist, two sacks, and two tackles for loss on just 28.8 percent of the snaps. Both of his sacks came in the fourth quarter against C.J. Stroud. Johnson had five pressures despite the limited snaps. Johnson is buried in the edge rotation and will likely see his role dwindle even further as Shermar Stewart (who also had a sack on limited snaps) played just 6.3 percent of the snaps (five total snaps in his first game of the season). Johnson's Week 2 stat line and efficiency are something to marvel at, but he should be in absolutely zero lineups for Week 3, in leagues of any size. Look elsewhere for your Week 3 DL3/4.
