• Rams' Tyler Johnson: Ready for starting gig

  23H ago • By RotoWire

  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 team's official site reports. Apart from garbage time in this past Sunday's blowout loss to the Cardinals, 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.

  This Rams offense could be a complete disaster, but Johnson is at least the number two target in the offense and some weeks he could be number one. He turned seven targets in Week 1 into 12.9 PPR Fantasy points and played 87% of the snaps last week. You could do worse for a desperation flex.

• Rams' Tyler Johnson: Makes pair of catches

  Johnson secured two of three targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals. 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, now are 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.

• Rams' Tyler Johnson: Shines vs. Lions

  10D ago • By RotoWire

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

  Johnson agreed to terms with the Rams on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Johnson spent most of last season on Los Angeles' practice squad, but he did get into the team's Week 18 game against San Francisco, catching two of three targets for eight yards and scoring a touchdown. He also has played with Tampa Bay and Houston in his NFL career, and his most prolific season came with the Buccaneers in 2021, when he recorded 36 catches for 360 yards. The news of his re-signing was shared initially by his agency, though terms were not disclosed.
