Summary
Josh Johnson carries a 31.0 dynasty score, ranking 163 at QB. Johnson’s 2025 fantasy production suggests a potential role in a run-heavy offense, but his age and contract situation may limit his overall ceiling.
Projection Rationale
Johnson’s 2025 stat line indicates potential for a quarterback who can contribute in a run-heavy offense. However, his efficiency (50th percentile) and durability (32nd percentile) grades suggest some limitations. Johnson has one year remaining on his contract, which may affect his role security.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Johnson’s 32nd percentile durability grade and age (40) contribute to his risk profile.
Opportunity Notes
Johnson’s snap share trended up in 2025, but his role may be limited by his age and contract situation. The Bengals’ run-heavy offense may not provide ample opportunities for a quarterback of Johnson’s age.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Dan Pitcher coordinates a McVay-tree offense with a 37.3% run rate. This scheme may help Johnson’s ceiling as a complementary quarterback.
Trend Assessment
Rising. Johnson’s ascending trend is reflected in his 22nd percentile production and 21st percentile age trajectory Verdict grade.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: QB4-QB5. Johnson must maintain his current snap share and contribute in a run-heavy offense to reach this ceiling. Floor: QB6-QB8. If Johnson’s role is reduced or he loses the job, his trade value may decrease to the lower tier range.
Comparable Player
Dan Marino, 1983-94.
