Johnson

An undrafted rookie out of SMU, Johnson finishes the season with 22 catches for 210 yards and one touchdown. He’ll fight for a spot as the No. 4 or 5 wideout on the team at next year’s training camp.

Atlanta’s No. 3 receiver won’t be active for Monday’s game against the 49ers. Drew Davis should pick up Johnson’s targets. Small and not particularly speedy, Johnson isn’t a must-hold in Dynasty leagues.

Johnson has a high-ankle sprain and isn’t going to play Monday night in San Francisco. He’s a candidate to be placed on season-ending injured reserve.

Johnson was targeted four times. He’s the No. 3 receiver but is no higher than the fourth or fifth option in the passing game. His fantasy value is minimal.

Five of Johnson’s catches came before halftime, where the Falcons made it their mission to pick on Saints fill-in CB Corey White. Johnson kept drawing targets after the break, but killed his good night with a brutal third-down drop and a soft fumble. He wasn’t targeted in the game’s final 13 minutes. Johnson is ahead of Drew Davis on the depth chart, but little more than a WR5 for fantasy purposes.

Johnson practiced on a limited basis this week and should return after missing just one game. He’ll be the No. 3 receiver behind Roddy White and Harry Douglas if active for Sunday’s regular season finale against the Panthers.

With two weeks left in the season, Johnson may be headed for injured reserve. High-ankle sprains are typically multi-week injuries. Johnson has been operating as Atlanta’s No. 3 receiver. Drew Davis will fill that role.

Johnson was on the field for a lot of plays -- he’s currently Atlanta’s No. 3 receiver -- but Roddy White (eight catches) was the apple of Matt Ryan’s eye in this one. Johnson has very little re-draft or Dynasty league value.

Johnson’s snaps were extremely limited as Roddy White returned, but he did manage to grab his first NFL touchdown. There’s nothing to see here.

Johnson will battle Drew Davis for No. 4 receiver duties throughout the offseason. It’s a low-upside job, even if Jones, White or Harry Douglas misses time at any point. Johnson, undersized and lacking separation speed, had just 22 catches for 210 yards and one touchdown last year despite plenty of opportunity.
