3 years agoBaltimore Ravens quarterback Josh Johnson will make his first NFL start since 2018 on Sunday when traveling to face the Bengals. While Johnson is a last-minute option with Lamar Jackson (ankle) and Tyler Huntley (Reserve/COVID-19) unavailable, he has prior experience from this season to draw upon: a 27-for-41 effort in Week 9 with the Jets where he threw for 317 yards and three touchdowns. Some fantasy managers may view Johnson being under center as a damper to the fantasy upside of likely must-start options such as Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown, but the veteran is likely to rely heavily on the team's premier pass-catching options. With fellow backup Chris Streveler (Reserve/COVID-19) also out, Kenji Bahar -- who played collegiately at Monmouth -- has been promoted to the active roster and will serve as Johnson's backup.--Jesse Borek
