Johnson didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson failed to step up in the absence of Josh Reynolds (hamstring), but nobody else did, either, as Garrett Wilson was the only Jet to record double-digit receiving yards in the lopsided loss. A possible quarterback change from Justin Fields (concussion) to Tyrod Taylor for Week 3 against the Buccaneers is unlikely to change Johnson's uninspiring fantasy outlook.

The Jets signed Johnson to the active roster Monday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets had room on the 53-man roster after placing Alijah Vera-Tucker (triceps) on injured reserve Saturday, and they've opted to bring up Johnson from the practice squad to fill that spot. Johnson was elevated for the Jets' Week 1 loss to the Steelers on Sunday, when he played 32 snaps on offense and caught both of his targets for 31 yards, finishing third in receiving yards behind Garrett Wilson (95) and Breece Hall (38). Given his usage in Sunday's regular-season opener, Johnson could be a consistent part of the Jets' offensive scheme moving forward.

Johnson caught both of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson finished third on the team in receiving yards behind Garrett Wilson (95) and Breece Hall (38). The Jets don't have many playmakers on offense besides Wilson, Hall and quarterback Justin Fields. Johnson could remain in the mix as a secondary option in the Jets' passing game against the Bills in Week 2.

The Jets elevated Johnson from the practice squad Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old wideout appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Rams last season and produced a 26-291-1 receiving line on 41 targets. He'll provide depth behind Garrett Wilson and Josh Reynolds on Sunday against the Steelers.

Johnson was released and subsequently added to the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, Eric Allen of the team's official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson made New York's initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but he was released after the addition of tight end Jelani Woods and two defensive players Wednesday. The wide receiver will now stick around with the Jets' practice unit. He played in 15 regular-season contests with the Rams in 2024, so there's a good chance he earns an elevation to the active roster with New York at some point this season.

Johnson caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Saturday's 30-10 preseason win over the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was the only wide receiver to catch a pass from starting quarterback Justin Fields, who played one drive. The veteran wide receiver added a 21-yard catch from rookie quarterback Brady Cook on the last play of the first quarter. Johnson looks like a lock to make the 53-man roster after impressing the coaching staff in training camp, and there's still time for him to make a case for a starting role.

Johnson is listed as a reserve on the unofficial depth chart the Jets released Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Garrett Wilson, Josh Reynolds and Allen Lazard are listed as starters, with Johnson behind Reynolds on the depth chart. Lazard's placement on the depth chart suggests he could be utilized in the slot, with Johnson as a reserve on the outside. Earlier reports from Jets beat writers in training camp suggested that Johnson has been outplaying Lazard.

Johnson appears to be the frontrunner for the third spot on the Jets' wide receiver depth chart, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has impressed the coaching staff with his athleticism and ability to get open by anticipating defensive backs' moves. The veteran wide receiver signed a one-year contract with the Jets in March without much fanfare, but he's putting himself in position to get playing time alongside Garrett Wilson and Josh Reynolds. Other receivers vying for roster spots include Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, Malachi Corley, Xavier Gipson and Jamaal Pritchett.

The Jets signed Johnson to a one-year contract Saturday, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson saw modest numbers as a backup with the Rams in 2024, finishing with 26 catches (on 41 tarets) for 291 yards and one touchdown across 15 regular-season games. However, he was not active for the Rams' two playoff games, and he'll look to get more involved in the Jets' passing attack alongside Garrett Wilson.

Johnson caught 26 passes for 291 yards and a touchdown during the 2024 regular season.

EDGE Analysis

Given the Rams' injury woes for much of the season, Johnson's second season with the team bore more fruit, as he was on the field for 345 snaps on offense and held his own when pressed into significant action, including a 5-79-0 line in the Week 1 opener against the Lions. The Rams have a lot of questions in the offseason at wide receiver, with Cooper Kupp a candidate for trade or release and Demarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell and Johnson all unrestricted free agents, but Johnson's budding role may entice the Rams to give him another shot to work alongside Puka Nacua, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith.
