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 Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
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.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get Week 2 start
Puke Nacua is set to be placed on the IR due to a knee injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports, which could open up a spot in the Rams' starting lineup for Johnson.
ANALYSIS
Nacua is expected to miss just four games, but that might be enough time for Johnson to establish himself as a significant part of the Rams' passing game. Johnson made a surprising impact in Week 1 after Nacua left the game in the second quarter, finishing the night with five catches on seven targets for 79 yards. Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington may also be in line for increased opportunities while Nacua is sidelined.
