2025 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson joined the Jets on a one-year deal in March ahead of his age-27 season. His 291 receiving yards with the Rams in 2024 marked the second-highest total of Johnson's five-year NFL career, behind his 360 yards with Tampa Bay in 2021. Johnson will compete with Allen Lazard, Josh Reynolds, Malachi Corley, Arian Smith and Xavier Gipson for placement on a Jets WR depth chart that's unsettled behind Garrett Wilson. Read Past Outlooks

Leading receiver in Week 7 loss
WRNew York Jets
October 20, 2025
Johnson caught all three of his targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Johnson led the Jets in receiving yards in the absence of Garrett Wilson (knee), while no teammate contributed more than 31 receiving yards. Tyrod Taylor replaced the ineffective Justin Fields at halftime and connected with Johnson for gains of 20 and 35 yards in the second half. If Taylor gets the starting nod for Week 8 against the Bengals and Wilson remains sidelined, Johnson could offer some value based on the chemistry he showed with Taylor in the loss to Carolina.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Johnson tripled his catch total and drew more than three times more targets in 2021 than in his rookie 2020 campaign, leading to a 36-360-0 line. The one statistical downgrade for the Minnesota product was that he didn't get into the end zone after notching a pair of touchdown grabs the season prior. Although Russell Gage and Julio Jones were brought in this offseason, Chris Godwin's recovery from a December ACL tear could extend into the regular season, giving Johnson a chance to take some reps. If Johnson makes a strong impression during that span, he could remain in a decent complementary role the rest of the way.
Johnson's lot in his rookie season essentially was the wide-receiver version of running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn's. Like his fellow 2020 draftee, Johnson was stuck behind multiple capable veterans on the depth chart and consequently finished with a modest 12-169-2 line on 17 targets across 14 games. The Minnesota product was well regarded by the coaching staff, however, and he stood out for his ability to make difficult, contested catches. The increasing trust was illustrated by the fact he saw 46 offensive snaps in Tampa Bay's first three postseason games. With some valuable experience under his belt, Johnson could push Scotty Miller for the No. 4 receiver role this summer, or, at minimum, earn an appreciable boost in work in his second season.
The consensus on Johnson is that he was short-changed by the draft process, as the prolific Minnesota alum's college production was befitting of a higher selection. Johnson finished his four-year Golden Gophers career with 33 touchdowns over 43 games and a combined 164 receptions and 2,487 yards over his last two college seasons. The 21-year-old could make a strong case for a solid rookie role, considering he displayed an impressive degree of red-zone prowess during his college days. Johnson led all Power 5 schools in red-zone catches, red-zone receiving yards (320) and red-zone touchdown receptions (23) from 2016 through 2019, the type of track record that could lead to a rapid rapport with new Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady. However, Johnson will have to outperform a pair of incumbent receivers in Scott Miller and Justin Watson to secure the No. 3 receiver job, so training camp and preseason project to be particularly critical for the rookie.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Jets' WR2 sans Reynolds?
WRNew York Jets
September 13, 2025
Johnson could serve as the Jets' No. 2 wideout behind Garrett Wilson against the Bills on Sunday due to the absence of Josh Reynolds.
ANALYSIS
Johnson didn't make the Jets' 53-man roster after training camp, but he opted to stay on the team's practice squad and was elevated for the Jets' Week 1 loss to the Steelers. He finished that game with two catches on as many targets for 31 yards while playing 32 snaps on offense and should see more snaps against Buffalo due to Reynolds being sidelined with a hamstring injury.
