Johnson secured both targets for 19 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson managed to record multiple receptions for the first time since Week 12 while logging 11 snaps (16 percent), his lowest volume since Week 1. With four healthy and more experienced receivers ahead of him, even Sunday's stat line can be considered a success to a degree for Johnson, who projects to remain relegated to a deep reserve role for a critical Week 18 regular-season finale against the Panthers on Sunday.

Johnson secured his only target for minus-1 yard in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie's minimal role persisted in Sunday's loss, with Johnson seeing the field on just 25 percent (16 snaps) of the Buccaneers' offensive plays. The recent return of Mike Evans and season debut of Jalen McMillan has predictably pushed Johnson down the depth chart, where he projects to remain for the final two games of the regular season and in the postseason, if Tampa Bay advances.

Johnson failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson saw both Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan return to the field Thursday, making it wholly unsurprising the rookie was limited to just one target and logged his lowest snap count (15) since his Week 1 NFL debut. Johnson was unable to convert that single look into a catch, making it two straight games without a reception. Provided the Buccaneers' receiving corps remains at full strength for the team's remaining three regular-season games, Johnson figures to be a fantasy afterthought.

Johnson failed to draw a target in the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson went without a target for the first time in his nascent career, despite the fact he logged a solid 34 snaps (46 percent). Johnson now has one or zero catches in three of the last four contests, and with Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck) seemingly on the verge of activation from injured reserve, the rookie could have an even more difficult path to targets down the stretch.

Johnson caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was an afterthought on offense against Arizona, garnering his fewest looks since Week 4. The wide receiver has now posted two one-catch performances over the last three contests. In the last four weeks, he's caught nine of 14 targets for 74 yards, but his fantasy value has been boosted by three scores. Johnson will look to get back into the end zone against New Orleans in Week 14.

Johnson brought in three of four targets for 21 yards and a touchdown while adding two rushes for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-7 loss to the Rams on Sunday night.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson logged a hefty 86 percent snap share (60 snaps), just three fewer than Emeka Egbuka, but he put together a modest performance overall in a game Baker Mayfield exited early with a shoulder injury. Johnson still found his way to his fifth career touchdown grab on a 14-yard reception with just over five minutes remaining in the first half. Johnson has multiple catches in four of the last five contests, and it was encouraging to see him retain a robust role even during the return of Chris Godwin (fibula). Johnson could cede some snaps to Godwin in a Week 13 home matchup against the Cardinals as Godwin continues to ease back in, but the rookie should still slot in as no worse than the No. 3 receiver while working with either Mayfield or Teddy Bridgewater as his quarterback.

Johnson brought in one of three targets for six yards and rushed three times for no gain in the Buccaneers' 44-32 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite Chris Godwin (fibula) logging another absence and Johnson logging the second-most snaps (58) among the Bucs' wide receivers, the latter couldn't extend what had been a productive five-game run. The rookie's 18-247-4 line on 27 targets in that span appeared to be a distant memory against a stingy Bills secondary, and if Godwin, who practiced on a limited basis during Week 11 prep, manages to suit up for a Week 12 Sunday night road showdown with the Rams, Johnson could be relegated to a No. 4 receiver role in that contest.

Johnson brought in four of five targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 28-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson finished a distant third on Tampa Bay in receiving yards and tied for third in targets, but he made a significant impact by recording 10- and 11-yard touchdown grabs in the second half. The rookie has scored his first four career TDs in the last four games, and he's drawn between five and nine targets in the last three contests. Johnson's elevated role should continue in a Week 11 road matchup against the Bills, considering Chris Godwin (fibula) is likely to remain sidelined alongside Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion).

Johnson secured five of six targets for 43 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-3 win over the Saints on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson's catch and yardage totals were both team highs on an afternoon when Baker Mayfield threw for just 152 yards. The rookie's reception tally also qualified as a new career high, as Johnson benefited considerably from the absences of Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion) and Chris Godwin (fibula). While Godwin is likely to get healthy over Tampa Bay's Week 9 bye, Evans will be out until late in the season in a best-case scenario, ensuring Johnson should continue enjoying an elevated role for the foreseeable future.

Johnson is set to work as the Buccaneers' No. 3 receiver and likely see an increase in snap count and targets during Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Saints due to the absences of Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion) and Chris Godwin (fibula), Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie has already been making his mark in the Buccaneers' offense in recent games, recording his first pair of NFL touchdowns and two four-catch tallies in his last three contests. Johnson logged a career-high nine targets in the Week 7 loss to the Lions on Monday night as part of the ripple effect of Evans' early exit and Godwin's absence, and with the same conditions at play Sunday, the Oregon product could capitalize.
