Summary

Cedric Johnson carries a 73.0 dynasty score, ranking 180 at DL. In 2025, Johnson accumulated 2 sacks and 2 tackles for loss, indicating a strong production trajectory for a 23-year-old player with 3 years remaining on his contract.

Projection Rationale

Johnson’s 2 sacks and 2 tackles for loss in 2025 indicate a strong production trajectory. His Verdict efficiency grade at the 74th percentile suggests room for improvement. Johnson has 3 years remaining on his contract, providing stability in his role.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025. Johnson’s durability grade at the 53rd percentile is a moderate risk concern given his age.

Opportunity Notes

Johnson’s snap share percentage trended up from 20.0% in Week 9 to 63.0% in Week 17. The Bengals’ defense has a 17.1% blitz rate, which may limit Johnson’s opportunities.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Al Golden coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 21.0% blitz rate. The 4-3 scheme may help Johnson’s sack and tackle for loss production. However, the high blitz rate may limit his opportunities.

Trend Assessment

Declining. Johnson’s production has declined with the Bengals’ overall defensive efficiency.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling: DL3-DL4, requiring continued improvement in efficiency and consistent playing time. Floor: DL6-DL8, referencing the Bengals’ defensive efficiency decline and Johnson’s moderate durability risk.
