Johnson caught four passes (on eight targets) for 81 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's overtime loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson's 81 yards marked a season-high and actually led all players Monday night, when heavy rain made catching the ball no easy task. The veteran also helped kick-start the Colts' fourth quarter comeback with an 18-yard touchdown catch, his third score through eight games this season. On the whole, Johnson can be encouraged by his performance Monday, which came against one of the league's best defenses, but his Week 9 matchup versus the Broncos poses yet another stiff test.

Johnson had four receptions for 44 yards in Sunday's loss to Detroit. He was targeted four times.

EDGE Analysis

Since going without a catch in Week 3 and Week 4, Johnson has 13 receptions the past three games. While that's an improvement, he's still not getting enough targets for viable fantasy value in most leagues. He was fifth on the team in targets in Sunday's game.

Johnson caught three passes for 35 yards on six targets in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Though he's still getting plenty of snaps, Johnson has largely been invisible outside of last week's strong showing against his former team. He could have another big game or two by the end of the season, but he's far behind both T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief in the pecking order for targets.

Johnson caught six passes for 77 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets in Thursday's 27-20 win over the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Facing his former team for the first time, Johnson finally turned in a big performance for his new squad, despite Andrew Luck's (shoulder) absence. Though obviously not the dominant player he once was, Johnson is still getting plenty of snaps in the Indy offense, and he isn't completely washed up. Of course, one big game doesn't erase what happened the previous four weeks, and Johnson still only has 13 catches on 27 targets through five games. Donte Moncrief was quiet in Thursday's win, catching just one pass for three yards on three targets.

Johnson did not have a reception and was targeted two times while playing 40 snaps in Sunday's win over Jacksonville, the WTHR TV in Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson didn't have a reception for a second consecutive game and has seven receptions in four games. While he's getting snaps on offense, he appears to be the fourth or fifth option in the passing offense, making it hard to justify his roster spot in most formats.

Johnson did not have a reception and spent most of the fourth quarter on the sideline in Sunday's win over Tennessee, the Indianapolis Star reports. He had one pass thrown his way on a reception that was negated by a penalty.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has just seven receptions in three games as he's nowhere close to living up to the three-year, $21 million contract he signed in free agency. It also looks like he may have fallen to No. 3 or No. 4 on the depth chart as both Donte Moncrief and Phillip Dorsett figured prominently in Indy's fourth quarter comeback.

Johnson had three receptions for 27 yards despite being targeted seven times in Monday's loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has just seven receptions for 51 yards through two games. He's also caught just seven of 17 passes thrown his direction. He hasn't been in sync with Andrew Luck and appears to have been bypassed by Donte Moncrief in the order for targets. It's just two games and the entire Indy offense has struggled, so he should improve. However, there are reasons to be worried given Johnson's age (34) and the decline in his per-play effectiveness the previous two seasons.

Johnson caught just 4-of-10 targets for 24 yards in his Colts debut Sunday against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Quarterback Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis offense were out of sync all game going up against Rex Ryan's defense, and Johnson was one of a few Colts who had a subpar game as a result. Fellow receiver T.Y. Hilton left the game with a potentially serious knee injury after receiving 14 targets, and Johnson will be called upon to fill the void Hilton's absence creates should he miss time moving forward. Both Johnson and Luck played very close to their respective floors in this one, so owners should expect a bounce-back effort from the veteran receiver as his quarterback works back toward his ceiling.

Johnson caught his only target for a 32-yard touchdown in Saturday's preseason win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson hasn't done much in the preseason as the Colts don't need the veteran to prove he can play. Still, the long touchdown was a tantalizing possibility of what he can do with Andrew Luck as his quarterback. If he can stay healthy at age 34, Johnson should get significant opportunities in a better passing offense than he had with the Texans.

Johnson was featured extensively in the slot in Wednesday's OTA practice and looks to have a large role in the offense this season, the Indianapolis Star reports. The Colts have a crowded competition at wide receiver, but this report indicates Johnson will be viewed as a starter and used in multiple spots in wide receiver formations. If he can stay healthy at age 34, Johnson should get significant opportunities in a better passing offense than he had with the Texans.
