Collin Johnson Taking Advantage Of His Opportunities
3 years agoJacksonville Jaguars second-year wide receiver Collin Johnson is making the most of his reps while D.J. Chark Jr. Phillip Dorsett II, and Marvin Jones Jr. are all out due to injury or personal matters. With the aforementioned WRs missing Saturday's practice, "no receiver was targeted more often than Johnson," and he put together a "dominant day" according to SI's John Shipley. The massive 6-foot-6 222-pound wideout showcased his potential last season by commanding a lofty 20 percent target rate inside the 20-yard line. Johnson is in a heated competition for the fourth WR spot with Phillip Dorsett II, and his upside combined with the impressive showing on Saturday could very well place him in the lead for that role. Johnson's impressive camp performance shouldn't go unnoticed, and while he isn't a fantasy option at this point in time, he could very well break out as a lethal red-zone threat in 2021 if he earns the trust of Trevor Lawrence and the coaching staff.
