Johnson has agreed to terms with the Cincinnati Bengals to be one of their backups, giving the AFC North leaders depth at the position, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.
Advice: Johnson reached the contract agreement Tuesday, according to the person, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team had not made an announcement. The Bengals have to make a roster move to clear a spot for Johnson, who will be fourth on the depth chart at the outset.

As expected, Johnson has signed a one-year deal with the Bengals, the Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Recommendation: If Cedric Benson misses Sunday's game against the Raiders, Johnson could help the Bengals at running back along with current backup Bernard Scott. He's worth a speculative pickup in case Benson suffers a more serious injury down the stretch due to a very heavy workload, but Johnson's on-field performance with the Chiefs this season offered little to suggest that he's capable of being a reliable fantasy starter with limited carries going forward.
