Tyler Johnson - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes 11-yard catch Johnson caught his only target for 11 yards during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles.

Impact The veteran's only contribution for the team was a fourth-quarter grab that garnered a first down for the Rams. Johnson and Tutu Atwell were the only receivers to spell starters Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp and Demarcus Robinson, and that role seems unlikely to change even with a tantalizing matchup against an exploitable Saints defense on tap for Week 13.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Blanked for third time this season Johnson failed to record a catch during Sunday's 28-22 win against the Patriots.

Impact Johnson was on the field for a season-low seven snaps, and his usage puts him clearly in the backup tier along with Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington. Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp combined to put up a monster 13-229-3 line, and Demarcus Robinson continued his role as the tertiary target at wideout. Johnson's role is unlikely to change barring injury, and a difficult matchup against the Eagles lies in wait in Week 12.

NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Garners three catches in light use Johnson secured three of four targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Garners five targets in OT win Johnson finished with three receptions (five targets) for 38 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Seahawks.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Manages just one catch Johnson secured his lone target for six yards during Thursday's 30-20 victory against the Vikings.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team in receiving yardage Johnson secured four of seven targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 20-15 victory against the Raiders.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Invisible in loss Johnson failed to record a target and played 11 snaps on offense during Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers.

Impact 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 likely will continue to be reduced in the coming weeks.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs three catches Sunday Johnson brought in three of four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the 49ers.

Impact 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 formats, but he is certainly a name to worth monitoring heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Bears.

Ready for starting gig 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 Jac...

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Makes pair of catches Johnson secured two of three targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact 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, are now 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.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Opportunity knocks with Nacua on IR Johnson has a chance to sustain a larger role moving forward after Puka Nacua (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact 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, as was the case after halftime in Detroit.

Shines vs. Lions Johnson caught five of his seven targets for 79 yards during Sunday night's 26-20 loss to the Lions.

Impact 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.

Makes just one catch Johnson caught one of three targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 13-12 preseason victory against the Cowboys.

Impact After spending the near entirety of the 2023 campaign on the Rams' practice squad, Johnson failed to make much of an impression in his 2024 preseason debut. Jordan Whittington (6-74-0) stole the show among the wide receivers who did start for the Rams, and he, along with Puka Nacua (knee), Cooper Kupp, Demarcus Robinson and Tutu Atwell seem like safe locks for the 53-man roster. The fifth-year pro Johnson, along with Xavier Smith, Drake Stoops, Sam Wiglusz and JJ Laap, will spend the rest of the preseason battling it out for one or two final roster spots, with the slight edge going to Johnson and Smith at the moment.

Scores first touchdown since 2020 Johnson secured two of three targets for eight yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 21-20 victory against San Francisco.

Impact With the Rams resting players, Johnson was activated from the practice squad for the second time this season, and made his first appearance in a game since 2022 with the Texans count. Carson Wentz threw a dart to Johnson in the back of the end zone on a crucial third down, giving Johnson an eight-yard touchdown catch, his first score since his rookie campaign with Tampa Bay in 2020. The Rams are firmly entrenched with Cooper Kupp (coach's decision), Puka Nacua and Demarcus Robinson as their starters and have Tutu Atwell, Ben Skowronek and Austin Trammell as backups, so Johnson's time on the main roster this season is likely over barring an injury in the playoffs.
