Johnson scored 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with four rebounds, two blocks and a steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's win over the Celtics.
It's his best scoring effort in over a month. Johnson's numbers remain down nearly across the board so far this season, and until he starts putting together a string of solid performances there's little reason to hang onto him in most leagues.

Johnson scored five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), to go along with assist, and one block in 17 minutes.
Johnson has been the definition of inconsistent this season, as owners have no idea which side of the player is going to show up on a nightly basis. If he does play well he can be a good source of rebounds and blocks. However, there's a decent chance that he can have an off night and Coach Casey can go to one of his other options off the bench.

Johnson wasn't able to get much going on Sunday as he posted a mediocre line. He finished with 13 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two blocks, and one assist in 26 minutes.
He was efficient shooting the ball, but he wasn't able to put up big numbers in Sunday's win. Johnson has been up and down all season and is worth rostering in deeper leagues for the fact that he's a starter. However, until he is able to show consistency he can only be ruled a deep-league option.

Johnson scored 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 FT) with nine rebounds and a block in 31 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's win over the Nets.
He's been struggling recently, averaging just 8.2 points and 4.4 boards over his previous five games coming into Wednesday, so both the Raptors and Johnson's fantasy owners have to hope that this performance is a sign that he's beginning to perk up.

Johnson recorded a season high 27 points (11-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT) and added seven rebounds, four assists, and a steal in 33 minutes against the Cavaliers Friday.
Johnson is a very streaky and inconsistent player - in his last six games, he has scored single digits twice, low double digits twice, and at least 20 twice. But Johnson can provide value across almost every category, and when he is playing well he can be a useful fantasy asset. I

Johnson (toe) reportedly re-injured his toe in Sunday's game against the Lakers, after originally stubbing it in the Raptor's game against the Mavericks on Friday, TSN Sports reports.
Johnson played only 22 minutes in Sunday's overtime thriller in Los Angeles, as he was sidelined with the toe injury. While he's dealt with an ankle injury recently, it wasn't the ankle this time, but rather a toe injury that he originally suffered Friday. Johnson was supposedly bleeding from his toe enough that it was going through his sock, so he'll probably have that checked out before Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Consider him day-to-day and questionable for Tuesday's matchup.

Johnson scored 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-2 3P) with nine rebounds, a steal and a block in 30 minutes during Friday's loss to the Mavericks.
He might finally be getting back to his usual form after his early season ankle injury. If you've had Johnson parked on your bench while he struggled, or if he was dropped in shallower leagues, consider getting him into your lineup.

Johnson scored just two points with three rebounds in 25 minutes Monday.
He's been mostly invisible recently, averaging just 5.4 points and 4.2 boards over his last five games, although he has added eight blocks over that stretch to salvage a little fantasy value. Johnson's ankle may still be bothering him, but even if he's healthy keep him on your bench or the waiver wire until he gets back to his usual form.
Mon Nov 10 201413:34Johnson (ankle) through full practice Monday
Johnson (ankle) went through a full practice Monday, the Toronto Sun's Ryan Wolstat reports
He should be considered healthy moving forward, and we should see his role expand from the 18-21 minutes he has seen in his last two contests.

Johnson (ankle) scored five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3P) with three rebounds and four fouls in just 18 minutes during Sunday's shellacking of the 76ers.
With the Raptors cruising to an easy win coach Dwane Casey saw no reason to push Johnson, but it's worth noting that he didn't seem to be at full speed when he was on the court. Consider him a risky play for the upcoming week, as Casey could continue to use any excuse to limit his minutes and try to keep him from re-injuring his ankle.

Johnson (ankle) will not be on a minutes restriction Sunday against the Sixers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.
Coach Dwane Casey said Johnson is good to go and could have played in the second half of Friday's contest. While Johnson is on track to start Sunday, he could end up seeing limited minutes if the game gets out of hand early.

Johnson (ankle) was declared "fit to play" by Raptors' coach Dwane Casey after Saturday's practice, the Toronto Star reports.
He'll likely get the start on Sunday, but a home game against the woeful Sixers could see the Raptors race out to a big early lead, setting up another abbreviated appearance for Johnson even if he doesn't aggravate his ankle injury. In daily formats, you may want to look elsewhere for front court production.

Johnson (ankle) managed to practice Saturday and is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the 76ers, TSN Sports reports.
Johnson was taken out of Friday's game with a sore left ankle but said Saturday that he could have played through the pain if needed. The 27-year-old has had a history of ankle injuries in the past, although this most recent injury doesn't seem to be concerning for his long-term status.
Fri Nov 7 201421:19Amir Johnson: Leaves With Sore Foot

Fri Nov 7 201418:04Johnson (ankle) will start Friday against Wizards

Fri Nov 7 201418:02Amir Johnson: (Ankle) Will Start Friday
Johnson (ankle) will play and start Friday against the Wizards, the Star reports.
Johnson also reportedly won't be on a minutes restriction, so he should be getting a full games worth of work. With Johnson back in the starting lineup, Patrick Patterson will be removed and placed back in a bench role.

Johnson (ankle) has been downgraded to a game-time decision for Friday's matchup with the Wizards, the National Post reports.

Tue Nov 4 201423:23Johnson (ankle) will not play Wednesday against Celtics
Johnson (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Celtics.
Johnson will not travel to Boston with his teammates, so he will miss his third straight game Wednesday. He was considered a game-time decision Tuesday, so it would seem he has a decent chance to return to action for the Raptors' next home game Friday night.
Tue Nov 4 201417:55Johnson (ankle) will not be in lineup Tuesday night
Johnson (ankle) will not be in the lineup Tuesday night, according to Raptors' coach Dwane Casey
