Joins old squad
Johnson (knee) agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Texans on Wednesday, Logan Farlow of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson will return to Houston, where he spent the first three seasons of his career before suiting up for the Titans and Saints the last two years. The 28-year-old appeared in 12 games with New Orleans last season, missing time due to a knee injury and seeing more work on special teams than in the secondary. He'll likely be in line for a similar role with the Texans.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade rumors resurface
Johnson could be dealt prior to the Nov. 2 trade deadline, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fowler reported prior to the start of the season that Johnson could be on the move. While that didn't come to fruition, Fowler is again suggesting that the Texans could trade Johnson based on the presence of Eric Murray and Justin Reid at safety. However, that doesn't seem to mesh with the team's actual plans, as Murray has played solely on special teams for the last two games, while Johnson has had an expanded role in the secondary.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson and fellow starting safety Justin Reid probably have a dreary season ahead cleaning up the never-ending mess that might be the Houston defense, but for IDP purposes that should make both of their roles fruitful, perhaps very much so. Johnson is a former cornerback who converted to safety last year, and the results were mostly good. Johnson is an exceptional athlete by safety standards, and pairing that athleticism with his unique wingspan could make him a rangy threat downfield. He had 49 tackles in the final seven games last year. A similar tackle rate is the hope.
