Quick answer
WatchJohnson had 2 solo tackles in 2025, finishing LB290. Recent form cooled from LB129 to LB290 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. 2025 stopped at 2 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
