Trumaine Johnson

Rams' Trumaine Johnson (ankle) active on Sunday

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson (ankle) is active for Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers.

What It Means:

It's a big boost for the Rams' inconsistent defense, as Johnson will likely see a lot of work against physical receiving threat Kelvin Benjamin. Johnson missed Weeks 6 and 7 before the Rams' bye.

Our models project Benjamin as the 10th-best fantasy wideout for Week 9, but Johnson's return dampens that somewhat. We peg him for 75 receiving yards and 0.45 touchdowns on 4 receptions.
