Earns just two touches in 2023
Johnson caught two passes for eight yards and a touchdown during the 2023 regular season.
ANALYSIS
There was little opportunity for the fourth year wideout to produce, as the receiving corps as a whole for the Rams stayed relatively healthy apart from Cooper Kupp missing four games at the start of the year. Johnson was only activated from the practice squad once all season, earning his third touchdown in four seasons in the NFL with both the Rams and 49ers resting starters for the playoffs. Johnson is a restricted free agent in 2024, but with how little he was utilized by the Rams, he likely will have to find an opportunity elsewhere next season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Finds new home quickly
Johnson was claimed off waivers by the Texans on Wednesday after he surprisingly failed to make the Buccaneers' 53-man roster Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson posted 11 receptions for 133 yards on 13 targets over three preseason games for the Buccaneers, but Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports that head coach Todd Bowles largely made his decision to exclude Johnson from the roster based on the fact that the 2020 fifth-round pick doesn't contribute on special teams and would therefore have likely been a healthy scratch many weeks. Meanwhile, the outlook for playing time should be appreciably brighter for Johnson in Houston, where he could conceivably vault over journeyman Chris Moore for the No. 3 receiver spot in relatively short order.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Johnson tripled his catch total and drew more than three times more targets in 2021 than in his rookie 2020 campaign, leading to a 36-360-0 line. The one statistical downgrade for the Minnesota product was that he didn't get into the end zone after notching a pair of touchdown grabs the season prior. Although Russell Gage and Julio Jones were brought in this offseason, Chris Godwin's recovery from a December ACL tear could extend into the regular season, giving Johnson a chance to take some reps. If Johnson makes a strong impression during that span, he could remain in a decent complementary role the rest of the way.
