Johnson secured three of four targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson earned the most targets and catches out of the backup group of receivers, alongside Tutu Atwell (one catch for six yards) and Jordan Whittington (zero targets). While Johnson has proven to be a reliable target for Matthew Stafford when needed this season, his ten snaps tied a season-low, and he'll be hard to trust in rosters given his reduced time on the field. A Patriots defense that just held the Bears to 120 receiving yards is up next for the Rams in Week 11.

Johnson finished with three receptions (five targets) for 38 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson finished third in targets for the Rams following Puka Nacua's early ejection. The added time from the extra period helped the former reach 38 receiving yards following last week's one-catch performance against Minnesota. With the Rams' receiving crew back at full strength, Johnson's fantasy value takes a hit heading into next Monday's tilt versus Miami.

Johnson secured his lone target for six yards during Thursday's 30-20 victory against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, the return of Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) limited Johnson's role on the offense, although he notably had significantly more playing time than Tutu Atwell and Xavier Smith. With the Rams' pass-catching crew approaching full strength for the first time since the start of the season, Johnson's role will likely continue to deteriorate with Jordan Whittington (shoulder) also soon to return. Week 9's showdown with the division-leading Seahawks will be the next test for the veteran wideout.

Johnson secured four of seven targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 20-15 victory against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
With Jordan Whittington (shoulder) limited to a handful of snaps on offense, Johnson took over and saw his biggest usage on offense since Week 2. The biggest contribution from the veteran was a game-high 37-yard catch on third down that unfortunately led to no points after Joshua Karty missed a field goal attempt. The uptick in usage is likely to be short-lived, however, with Whittington and Cooper Kupp (ankle) likely to rejoin the Rams' wideout ranks in Week 8, which will likely push Johnson back down the depth chart.

Johnson failed to record a target and played 11 snaps on offense during Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
For the first time this season, Johnson was completely blanked on the stat sheet, a week after failing to secure his lone target in a loss to the Bears. Even with Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee) out, Johnson's role has steadily reduced as Demarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington have commanded the majority of Matthew Stafford's attention among wideouts. With Kupp potentially returning after the Rams' Week 6 bye and Nacua returning shortly after, Johnson's already limited role will likely continue to be reduced down in the coming weeks.

Johnson brought in three of four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
The fourth-year backup recorded his second game with 20 yards receiving since being elevated to help replace Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) in the starting lineup. Johnson still lacks the upside needed to warrant starting in standard fantasy formats, but he is certainly a name worth monitoring heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Bears.

Johnson and the Rams' other wide receivers are preparing for larger roles with Puka Nacua (knee) on injured reserve and Cooper Kupp (ankle) expected to miss multiple games, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Apart from garbage time in this past Sunday's blowout loss, Johnson has played nearly every snap on offense since Nacua injured his knee in the second quarter of the Rams' Week 1 contest. Johnson finished the opener with five catches for 79 yards on seven targets, before slumping to two catches for 20 yards (three targets) in the Week 2 loss at Arizona. He now appears locked in as a starter for at least the next few games, alongside Demarcus Robinson and Jordan Whittington / Tutu Atwell. A matchup with the 49ers this Sunday isn't ideal, and the Rams offense faces the added challenge of losing two starting linemen to injured reserve already.

Johnson secured two of three targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
While Johnson's stats dipped after a strong Week 1 performance (five receptions, 79 yards), Cooper Kupp (ankle) was spotted in a walking boot after the game. With Puka Nacua (knee) already on injured reserve, Johnson, along with Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell, now are the only healthy receivers currently rostered by the Rams. If Kupp were to miss time, Robinson and Johnson would likely take over as the top two receivers given their usage through the first two contests, with Whittington and Atwell the next men up.

Johnson is expected to handle a larger role on offense beginning with Sunday's game in Arizona after the Rams placed fellow receiver Puka Nacua (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, J.B. Long of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson finished second on the team with 79 receiving yards in Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Lions, and his seven targets tied Demarcus Robinson for second on the team behind Cooper Kupp's 21. That trio of wide receivers will likely continue to receive significant playing time in the absence of Nacua, who will miss at least four games after landing on IR.

Johnson caught five of his seven targets for 79 yards during Sunday night's 26-20 loss to the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson took full advantage of his increased opportunities, as he saw more playing time with Puka Nacua (knee) missing the second half of Sunday night's affair. The first-year Ram caught four of his five passes in the second half, including a 63-yarder that helped set up a scoring drive for Los Angeles. Johnson played over other options such as Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell, likely indicating that he'll have a fairly large role in the Rams offense as long as Nacua remains sidelined.
