BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Johnson was a revelation way back in 2010, hitting 26 homers, stealing 13 bases and posting an .865 OPS as a second baseman. He hasn’t been fantasy relevant since, but he’s tearing the cover off the ball right now. Over the last two weeks, he’s slashing .286/.333/.619 with four homers and 15 RBI. While he’s no longer eligible at second base, Johnson does carry eligibility at both corner infield positions in addition to the outfield. As you might expect, his hot hitting has made him one of the more popular adds this month. His HR/FB% will definitely regress over the long haul, but nothing else leaps out as particularly fluky. He costs nothing in over 80 percent of leagues.
