Makes presence known in win Johnson secured all four targets for 59 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Impact The rookie filled a bigger role than expected in the wild victory, making excellent use of his 22 snaps, which amounted to 36 percent of the Buccaneers' offensive plays. Johnson displayed his trademark shiftiness after the catch, gaining 31 of his yards post-reception. Johnson is thought to have much more upside than the standard seventh-round pick after finishing his college career at Oregon with back-to-back 10-touchdown seasons, and perhaps Sunday's production will serve as a launchpad for more opportunity.

First NFL catch in loss Johnson brought in his only target for eight yards and rushed once for five yards in the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Impact With Mike Evans (hamstring) sidelined, Johnson played 32 percent of the Buccaneers' offensive snaps and recorded his first NFL catch in the process. However, the rookie was still minimally involved, and considering Chris Godwin could draw an even larger snap share than the 81 percent he played in his season debut Sunday when Tampa Bay travels to Seattle in Week 5, Johnson's fantasy prospects remain firmly muted for the time being.

Blanked on one target Sunday Johnson failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 29-27 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Impact The rookie played on 21 snaps (29 percent snap share) but was barely involved. Johnson had been a healthy scratch in Week 2 against the Texans and was in on just eight snaps in Week 1, but as a result of Mike Evans' hamstring injury, Johnson could retain active status in a Week 4 home matchup against the Eagles despite the potential return of Chris Godwin (ankle).

Healthy scratch Week 2 Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Texans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Johnson saw eight snaps on offense but failed to haul in his lone target during the Buccaneers' Week 1 win over the Falcons. The rookie seventh-rounder will observe Monday's game in street clothes, and whether he's active on gameday will likely depend on the health of the Bucs' receiving corps and return specialists. Johnson's next chance to suit up is Week 3 against the Jets on Sunday.

Logs eight snaps in opener Johnson failed to bring in his only target during the Buccaneers' 23-20 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact Johnson logged a scant eight snaps from scrimmage despite being listed as the No. 3 receiver on the depth chart to open the season. Sterling Shepard logged 37 snaps and finished tied for second in targets, so Johnson appears to be behind his veteran teammate in the pecking order going into a Week 2 Monday night road matchup against the Texans.

Big impact in preseason finale Johnson secured all eight targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-19 preseason loss to the Bills on Saturday night.
Impact Johnson comfortably led the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets, putting together his second straight noteworthy performance. The rookie seventh-round pick has bounced back from missing the preseason opener by posting a 12-82-1 receiving line on 15 targets over the subsequent pair of games. Johnson is primed to see a somewhat meaningful role to open his NFL career, as injuries to Chris Godwin (PUP-ankle) and Jalen McMillan (neck) are expected to keep both players out for at least the first four games of the regular season.
