Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Johnson, a second-round draft pick by New England out of Texas A&M in 2003, never developed as an offensive threat for the Patriots and was traded to New Orleans this summer. The Saints cut him before the regular season started. As a rookie, Johnson led the AFC with a 28.2-yard kickoff return average. In his career, he has averaged 25.1 yards on 102 returns -- with two touchdowns. He has caught only 30 passes for 450 yards and four TDs.
