News: The Titans have re-signed fullback Quinn Johnson, The Tennessean reports.
Analysis: Johnson is a pretty good fullback but not a stat producer. No one should confuse him with the other Johnson on the Titans.
News: Tennessee placed RB Javon Ringer on injured reserve Tuesday after he suffered a broken hand in Week 14 against New Orleans. The Titans signed RB Quinn Johnson to take his place on the active roster, according to The Tennessean. Analysis: Johnson appeared in four games with the Titans during RB Ahmard Hall's suspension at the beginning of the season. He will likely be used mainly as a fullback and should not be considered a worthwhile Fantasy option for the rest of the year.
News: The Broncos were awarded fullback Quinn Johnson off waivers on Monday. The Titans waived him Friday.
Analysis: If Johnson stays on the Broncos active roster, then he will mostly fill a blocking fullback role and have no Fantasy appeal. Ignore him in all formats.
News: The Titans released FB Quinn Johnson on Friday to make room on the roster for Ahmard Hall, who was suspended for the first four games.
Analysis: Johnson was just a temporary option until Hall returned to being game ready. Continue to ignore Johnson in all Fantasy formats.
News: The Titans traded a draft pick to the Packers for FB Quinn Johnson on Saturday.
Analysis: The Titans need a fullback for the start of the season after starter Ahmard Hall was suspended four games. Quinn Johnson should get that role and potentially become the long-term starter if he opens up holes for Chris Johnson. Fantasy owners shouldn't be affected.
News: Packers RB Quinn Johnson did not attempt a rush in Week 2 against the Bills. He did, however, make one catch for a 10-yard game.
Analysis: Johnson sees most of his game action on special teams. He is too far down the depth chart on offense to rely on in Fantasy. Leave him on the waiver wire.
News: Packers FB Quinn Johnson needs to improve in his second season, head coach Mike McCarthy said following an offseason practice in late-June. Johnson didn't play much as a rookie, sitting on the bench while others filled the fullback role. "I think it's very important for Quinn to make a big jump this year. He needs to progress in some of the other areas, particularly on special teams," McCarthy said.
Analysis: Sounds like Johnson is being outfitted for special-teams work. Keep him off of Fantasy rosters.
News: Packers TE Spencer Havner and RB Quinn Johnson both dressed for Week 17 at Arizona but failed to record an offensive stat.
Analysis: Both Havner and Johnson are backups for the Packers. Havner had a few games in 2009 that put him on the Fantasy radar, but he mostly failed to stat. Neither player is going to have a ton of Fantasy appeal on Draft Day 2010.
News:Spencer Havner, Donald Lee and Quinn Johnson all failed to record a stat Week 16 in the Packers' win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: None of these players ever contributes enough statistically to matter in Fantasy. Leave them all on waivers.

News: The Packers list the following players as inactive for Week 13 on Monday night against the Ravens: WR Biren Ealy, DB Josh Bell, RB Quinn Johnson, DB Matt Giordano, DL Mike Montgomery and DL Jeremy Thompson.
Analysis: None of these players were expected to produce enough stats to warrant Fantasy use. Keep them off of rosters for now.

News: The Packers' list of inactives for Week 10 against the Cowboys includes WR Jake Allen, WR Biren Ealy, RB Quinn Johnson, LB Brady Poppinga and LB Aaron Kampman.
Analysis: Kampman has some low-end appeal in IDP leagues, but none of the other players listed here ever does enough statistically to matter in Fantasy.
News: Packers QB Matt Flynn, WR Biren Early, TE Spencer Havner and RB Quinn Johnson all dressed for a Week 9 loss to the Buccaneers but failed to record an offensive statistic.
Analysis: Haver had been playing very well lately, but didn't catch any of his three targets on Sunday. With Jermichael Finley possibly returning in Week 10, Havner, along with the other guys in this list, is not worth worrying about in Fantasy play. Green Bay host Dallas in Week 10.
News: Packers rookie RB Quinn Johnson caught his second NFL pass in Week 8, a 4-yard grab in a loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Johnson is just a part-time player with the Packers and does not need to be owned in Fantasy at this time. Keep him on waivers for Week 9 at Tampa Bay.
News: Green Bay RB Quinn Johnson made one reception in the Packers Week 7 win at Cleveland. It did not gain any yards.
Analysis: This was Johnson's first catch of the season. He is just a part-time player with the Packers and does not need to be owned in Fantasy at this time. Keep him on waivers for Week 8 against Minnesota.
News: Green Bay QB Matt Flynn, WR Brett Swain and RB Quinn Johnson all failed to record a stat in the team's Week 6 game against the Lions.
Analysis: None of these players have any Fantasy relevance and can continue to be ignored in all formats.
News: The Packers have listed the following players as inactive for Week 4 on Monday night at Minnesota: S Atari Bigby, RB Brandon Jackson, CB Brandon Underwood, FB Quinn Johnson, DE Mike Montgomery and LB Jeremy Thompson.
Analysis: Jackson is just a cheap handcuff for Ryan Grant in the first place and should not be active for Week 4. The rest of the players listed above are players to be ignored in most Fantasy leagues.
News: The following Green Bay Packers are inactive for Week 3 at St. Louis: S Atari Bigby, RB Brandon Jackson, CB Brandon Underwood, FB Quinn Johnson, DE Mike Montgomery and LB Jeremy Thompson.
Analysis: Jackson is just a cheap handcuff for Ryan Grant in the first place and should not be active for Week 3. The rest of the players listed above are players to be ignored in most Fantasy leagues.
News: The following players are inactive for the Packers against Cincinnati on Sunday: S Atari Bigby, RB Brandon Jackson, CB Brandon Underwood, FB Quinn Johnson, LB Brad Jones and NT B.J. Raji.
Analysis: Keep all of these players reserved for Week 2 against the Bengals. Hopefully they can return in Week 3 at St. Louis. However, these players all have minimal Fantasy value in most standard formats.
News: The following Packers players are inactive for Week 1's game against the Bears: CB Will Blackmon, CB Brandon Underwood, FB Quinn Johnson, LB Brad Jones and NT B.J. Raji.
Analysis: None of the players listed above were expected to stat in Week 1 for the Packers anyway. Leave them all on waivers in all leagues.
News: The Packers have signed fifth-round fullback Quinn Johnson, leaving them only two first-round draft picks to sign before training camp. Johnson appeared in 40 career games at Louisiana State. Even before his first full-contact practice, Johnson had impressed Packers coaches with his potential for physical play.
Analysis: Like all fullbacks, their main job is to bust open holes for their running backs, not post relevant Fantasy stats on a regular basis. Johnson is another guy you can safely forget about in Fantasy play.
News: The Packers took LSU FB Quinn Johnson with a fifth-round pick in the 2009 draft. The converted linebacker will compete for a roster spot in training camp after scoring three TDs on 16 carries over two seasons for the Tigers.
Analysis: Like all fullbacks, their main job is to bust open holes for their running backs, not post relevant Fantasy stats on a regular basis. Johnson is another guy you can safely forget about in Fantasy play.
