Jets' Tyler Johnson: No targets in Week 11
Tyler Johnson wasn't targeted in Thursday's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.Johnson reached 60 receiving yards in both of the previous games the New York Jets played without Garrett Wilson (knee), but those came before the team added John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell via trade. Mitchell and Metchie combined for four of the five catches by Jets wide receivers in Thursday's loss. Johnson was on the field for 53 percent of snaps on offense, but given Justin Fields' inability to consistently complete passes to wide receivers coupled with the increased competition for targets at the position, Johnson's fantasy appeal is limited heading into a Week 12 trip to Baltimore.

Jets' Tyler Johnson: Cools off after bye
Tyler Johnson didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.Johnson led the New York Jets in receiving yards each of their previous two games but was a non-factor in Sunday's unusual win, which was fueled by a pair of touchdowns on special teams. Garrett Wilson (knee) departed the game in his return from a two-game absence, and Wilson could join Josh Reynolds (hip) on the sidelines Thursday against the Patriots. That would give Johnson another opportunity to step up in Week 11, though recent additions Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie could also take on bigger roles.

Jets' Tyler Johnson: Scores first TD of season
Tyler Johnson caught three of five targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals.Johnson stepped up in the absences of Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (IR, hip). The highlight of Johnson's performance was a 15-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. This was the second straight game in which Johnson reached the 60-yard threshold and led the New York Jets in receiving yards. The Jets may get Wilson back in Week 10 against the Browns following a Week 9 bye, but with Reynolds required to miss at least three more games, Johnson could maintain a solid complementary role.

Jets' Tyler Johnson: Leading receiver in Week 7 loss
Tyler Johnson caught all three of his targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.Johnson led the New York Jets in receiving yards in the absence of Garrett Wilson (knee), while no teammate contributed more than 31 receiving yards. Tyrod Taylor replaced the ineffective Justin Fields at halftime and connected with Johnson for gains of 20 and 35 yards in the second half. If Taylor gets the starting nod for Week 8 against the Bengals and Wilson remains sidelined, Johnson could offer some value based on the chemistry he showed with Taylor in the loss to Carolina.

Jets' Tyler Johnson: Blanked in Week 6
Tyler Johnson didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos.Justin Fields threw for just 45 yards, so Johnson unsurprisingly failed to get involved in the low-scoring loss. Even if Garrett Wilson (knee) were to sit out Week 7 against the Panthers, Johnson's upside would be capped due to Fields' struggles throwing the ball.

Jets' Tyler Johnson: Non-factor in Week 5
Tyler Johnson was not targeted in Sunday's 37-22 loss to the Cowboys.The veteran wideout from Minnesota was a healthy scratch in the New York Jets' Week 4 loss to the Dolphins but returned in Week 5. However, Johnson played just three offensive snaps and wasn't involved in the team's offensive gameplan. He appears to be out of favor in the Jets' receiving corps, playing behind Garrett Wilson, Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard. If Johnson is active for the Week 6 matchup against the Broncos, he'll likely play another depth role.
