Johnson brought in four of six targets for 50 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson logged 49 snaps (66%) from scrimmage and put together a solid line overall after not seeing any passes come his way across 36 snaps in the Week 16 win over the Panthers a week earlier. The second-year wideout is set to serve as no less than the No. 3 receiver for Week 18 and the postseason, as Antonio Brown's forthcoming release from the team removes another obstacle for playing time. Additionally, given Johnson outpaced veteran Breshad Perriman by 38 snaps Sunday, it's possible the former garners a starting opportunity alongside Mike Evans for at least the regular-season finale against the Panthers.

Johnson logged 36 snaps from scrimmage and did not log a target during the Buccaneers' 32-6 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Difficult as it may be to fathom, Johnson didn't see a single one of Tom Brady's 30 throws come his way despite the absence of multiple pass-catching options. Johnson has actually drawn more attention from his future Hall of Fame quarterback in games where the receiver corps has been better stocked, so it's difficult to gauge what his prospects might be in Week 17 against the Jets, a contest that Mike Evans may have to sit out due to his placement in COVID-19 protocols Monday.

Johnson is expected to serve as the primary replacement for Chris Godwin (knee) in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tampa Bay will get Antonio Brown back from a lengthy absence due to an ankle sprain and a suspension, but the losses of Godwin for the season and Mike Evans (hamstring) for at least Week 16 should open up more snaps at receiver for the likes of Johnson, Scotty Miller and Justin Watson. Considering Johnson had already been playing 60-plus percent of the Bucs' offensive snaps in all but one of the team's last eight games, he's likely a better bet than Miller and Watson to absorb the larger portion of Godwin's and Evans' vacated targets. Johnson had already stepped up when the two starting wideouts exited early in last week's 9-0 loss to the Saints, finishing with four receptions for 41 yards on seven targets.

Johnson had four receptions (seven targets) for 41 yards in Sunday's 9-0 loss to New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

The Buccaneers lost wideouts Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (knee) early in this contest, opening the door for Johnson to see an expanded role in the passing game. The 2020 fifth-round draft pick had seen 60 percent or more of the offensive snaps in six of the Bucs' last seven contests, but he averaged just 2.3 receptions and 19.6 yards per game over that stretch of games. Johnson and fellow wideout Scotty Miller (2-18-0) may see increased usage against the Panthers next Sunday if Evans and/or Godwin are unable to suit up.

Johnson secured all three targets for 17 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

A week after logging just nine snaps in a win over the Falcons, Johnson bumped all the way up to 49 plays from scrimmage, easily the highest total among the wideouts behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Johnson parlayed the opportunity into his best catch total since Week 10, but his modest yardage total still made it a forgettable fantasy day overall. With Scotty Miller a healthy scratch Sunday, Johnson appears to be firmly ahead of the Bowling Green product on the depth chart and could continue as the No. 3 wideout for a Week 15 divisional clash against the Saints, although there's always the possibility Breshad Perriman eats into his opportunities.

Johnson brought in his only target for five yards in the Buccaneers' 30-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson logged only nine snaps from scrimmage, but that was actually tops among the Bucs wide receivers behind Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. The fact he outpaced Scotty Miller by five plays would seem to indicate Johnson still is ahead of him on the depth chart as the de facto No. 4 receiver while Antonio Brown (suspension/ankle) is out, but with Breshad Perriman recording just one reception across 59 snaps himself Sunday in the No. 3 role, it's possible Johnson ascends back into that spot.

Johnson secured his only target for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson logged a robust 48 snaps despite Scotty Miller's return from injured reserve, but he once again came up nearly empty while filling the No. 3 receiver role in place of Antonio Brown (ankle). The second-year wideout appears destined to take a hit to his playing time as soon as the Week 13 road battle against the Falcons, either because of Miller eating into some of his snaps and/or Brown returning to action.

Johnson brought in one of three targets for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 30-10 win over the Giants on Monday night.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was especially quiet despite the continued absence of Antonio Brown (ankle), and his sparse amount of targets was especially discouraging when considering he logged a healthy 73% snap share (57 snaps). The second-year wideout has enjoyed occasional spikes in production, but he'll head into a Week 12 matchup against the Colts with just a 4-25 line over the last pair of contests.

Johnson secured three of five targets for 17 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-19 loss to Washington on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year wideout once again filled the No. 3 receiver role with Antonio Brown (ankle) out of action and logged 33 snaps (69%) from scrimmage. Johnson was able to parlay that opportunity into his third straight multi-reception game, but he's been under 20 yards in two of those contests. If Brown remains out for the Week 11 Monday night contest against the Giants, Johnson should operate in a similar capacity.

Johnson secured five of six targets for 65 yards in the Buccaneers' 36-27 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year wideout drew his second straight assignment as the No. 3 receiver with Antonio Brown (ankle) sidelined, and Johnson was notably busier than while filling the same role in a Week 7 blowout win over the Bears. Johnson checked in second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon behind Chris Godwin while extending a recent trend of snagging almost every ball thrown his way. Factoring in Sunday's performance, Johnson has now hauled in 10 of the 11 targets he's garnered over the last four contests, and he's made a claim to hold off Scotty Miller (toe) for No. 4 receiver snaps when the latter returns, likely following the team's Week 9 bye.
