• Jets' Tyler Johnson: Signed by Gang Green

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  The Jets signed Johnson to a one-year contract Saturday, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports. Johnson saw modest numbers as a backup with the Rams in 2024, finishing with 26 catches (on 41 targets) for 291 yards and one touchdown across 15 regular-season games. However, he was not active for the Rams' two playoff games, and he'll look to get more involved in the Jets' passing attack alongside Garrett Wilson.

• Rams' Tyler Johnson: Modest numbers as a backup

  01/31/2025 • By RotoWire

  Johnson caught 26 passes for 291 yards and a touchdown during the 2024 regular season. Given the Rams' injury woes for much of the season, Johnson's second season with the team bore more fruit, as he was on the field for 345 snaps on offense and held his own when pressed into significant action, including a 5-79-0 line in the Week 1 opener against the Lions. The Rams have a lot of questions in the offseason at wide receiver, with Cooper Kupp a candidate for trade or release and Demarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell and Johnson all unrestricted free agents, but Johnson's budding role may entice the Rams to give him another shot to work alongside Puka Nacua, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith.

• Rams' Tyler Johnson: Healthy scratch in divisional round

  01/19/2025 • By RotoWire

  Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's NFC divisional-round game against the Eagles. Johnson was also a healthy scratch for Monday's 27-9 wild-card win over the Vikings. The 2020 fifth-round pick saw significant playing time earlier in the year when wideouts Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua were injured. But, he caught just five passes over the final eight weeks of the regular season, and four of these receptions came in the regular-season finale when the Rams rested Kupp and Nacua. With Johnson sidelined, Nacua, Kupp, Demarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith will serve as the active wideouts for Los Angeles on Sunday.

• Rams' Tyler Johnson: Inactive for Week 16

  12/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports. Johnson has been held without a catch in each of the Rams' last three games, and he will observe Sunday's game from the sidelines. His next opportunity to play will be Week 17 against the Cardinals on Saturday, Dec. 28. Demarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington will serve as the Rams' depth wideouts behind Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp due to Johnson's absence.

• Rams' Tyler Johnson: Makes 11-yard catch

  11/25/2024 • By RotoWire

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