Summary
Taron Johnson carries a 76.0 dynasty score, ranking 92 at DB. Johnson’s 57th percentile production grade and 82nd percentile durability grade indicate consistent performance, but his 38th percentile efficiency grade suggests room for improvement. With 2 years remaining on his contract and age 29, Johnson’s ceiling is still within reach.
Projection Rationale
Johnson’s 34 solo tackles in 14 games indicate consistent production, and his 72nd percentile usage grade suggests he remains a key contributor to the Raiders’ defense. However, his 38th percentile efficiency grade suggests room for improvement. Johnson’s 2-year contract and age 29 position him for a stable role in the Raiders’ secondary.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Johnson’s 82nd percentile durability grade and stable injury history indicate a low risk of injury.
Opportunity Notes
Johnson’s snap share trended down from 70.8% to 58.0% throughout the season. However, with the Raiders’ defensive scheme and Johnson’s role secure, he remains a key contributor to the team.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Rob Leonard coordinates a hybrid defense with a 21.7% blitz rate, which helps Johnson’s pass coverage responsibilities. The Raiders’ zone-heavy coverage scheme limits Johnson’s potential for interceptions, but his 38th percentile efficiency grade suggests he can still contribute to the team’s pass defense.
Trend Assessment
Stable. Johnson’s production has remained relatively consistent, with a 57th percentile production grade and stable durability, despite a slight decrease in snap share.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DB2-DB3. For Johnson to reach this ceiling, he must improve his efficiency grade and remain a key contributor to the Raiders’ secondary. Floor: DB4-DB5. If Johnson loses his starting role or struggles with efficiency, his floor would be a lower-tier defensive back.
