Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Ginn, the former Dolphins and 49ers return ace could be what the Bengals are looking for at receiver and on special teams. He has six career return touchdowns with three each coming off punts and kickoffs. He also has 161 career catches for a 12.7-yard average, six for touchdowns. He would fit the role that free-agent wide receiver Brandon Tate filled last year as a kick returner who split time with punt returner Adam Jones while taking a few snaps as an outside receiver. With A.J. Green, Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones taking the bulk of those later in the season, Tate ended up with 278 plays and 13 catches for 211 yards. The Bengals also are looking for a backup QB to replace Bruce Gradkowski and like Gradkowski, Johnson was drafted by Tampa Bay when Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden was a Buccaneers offensive assistant in 2008. Johnson didn't throw a pass last year while playing in one game for the Browns. The Bucs took him in the fifth round and in his three seasons with Tampa Bay he was 0-5 as a starter with five touchdown passes and 10 interceptions while completing 54 percent of his 177 passes.
