Kameron Johnson Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR160 last season at 1.3 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 2 games he's WR171 at 0.0 PPR points per game, against 1.3 over 14 games last season (WR160). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 131st of 142 in target volume (1.3% target share), 129th of 142 in downfield role (2.0% air-yards share) and 56th of 142 in efficiency (1.56 yards per route run). Target volume is the soft spot. Baker Mayfield is his quarterback.
He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchup is the Packers in Week 4 (10th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Johnson's 2025 ledger tells the story of a roster fringe player: 17 games but only a 9.7% snap share, 41 routes, and seven targets that produced four catches for 64 yards and one score. A 1.3% target share and 0.033 WOPR confirm he was an afterthought in the Tampa passing tree, even if the surface efficiency (16.0 yards per catch, 1.56 yards per route) looked tidy on a tiny sample. The lone interception when targeted and a 14.3% drop rate underscore how little margin a player this far down the depth chart gets.
The role projection for 2026 is bleak. He logged under two targets in eight of nine appearances late in the year, and forward outlooks peg him near WR-200-plus in dynasty value with essentially zero standard projection. Until injuries or attrition force him into real volume, he's a watch-list name only, not a draftable asset in any format.
