BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Out-of-nowhere receiver Collin Johnson has led the Jaguars in receiving yards two weeks in a row now. He has been targeted more times (14) in the past two weeks than he was in the first 10 games of the season (13). Talk about improvement--and necessity too, I guess.
From W1 to W11, Johnson had been part of Jacksonville's offense every single game but never played more than 23 snaps, or logged a snap share of more than 31%. His only fantasy-relevant game came in Week 5 against Houston when he reached 12 PPR points purely because of the touchdown he scored, making him an overly TD-dependent asset. If we remove that performance from his gamelog in that span, Johnson comes out at 7.9 PPR points in the other nine games he played, which... Ugh.
That Johnson is a thing of the past, though. In the last games, Johnson has been targeted 14 times (8 and 6 respectively), has caught 4 passes in each of those matches, reached 96 and 66 yards, and scored a touchdown in Week 12 against Cleveland. Johnson is a viable fantasy player now, touchdowns scored or not.
While the Jags as a whole and Johnson concretely are far from a league-winning team/player, the truth is that Johnson should be rosterable ROS for needy GMs at the WR position or looking for FLEX plays. And if only for a single week, Johnson profiles as one of the best WW additions leading up to W14: Jacksonville faces Tennesse next week and the Titans has the second-worst defense against fantasy WRs, making Johnson a must-add in 12+ team leagues for W14 and a good addition for those in deeper-format leagues.
