Johnson (1-0) worked the 11th and 12th innings of Wednesday's win over the Mets, striking out three while allowing just a single hit to earn the win.
The veteran righty is coming up on his 34th birthday, and he did solid work out of Atlanta's bullpen last year, saving 20 games with a 3.06 ERA. While the Braves may not gift him a huge number of save chances and Arodys Vizcaino may push him for the role, Johnson's gotten off to a good start. As long as he's in line to stay in the closer role, he'll hold strong fantasy value.
