The skinny on Bethel Johnson...
I talked to a few scouts very familar with new Vikings receiver Bethel Johnson.
Here's what I was told:
Johnson is very fast, but his consistency has been questioned because of minor injuries.
He is capable of catching the deep ball and has the speed to get behind a defense. But he also is inclined to drop easy passes.
He can be an instant contributor as a return specialist. That means Johnson will find his way onto the field, and he probably will play because he is built differently than the Vikings other receivers.
So who does Johnson replace in the lineup?

He made some big catches in at least one Super Bowl. He also provides a different type of receiver, since he'll be the smallest one on the 53-man roster.
I would expect he immediately returns kickoffs.
