After filling in for the injured Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua early in the season, Johnson has now been inactive for three of the previous four games for the Rams, with his only active game coming in Week 18 when the Rams rested both Kupp and Nacua. Expect Demarcus Robinson to join the top two receivers from 11-personnel while Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington fill situational roles.

The Rams will have most of their primary supporting cast for a must-win game against the Cardinals in Week 17. Now in control of their own destiny atop the NFC West, the Rams can ensure a playoff spot with wins in their final two weeks agains the Cardinals and Seahawks.

Puka Nacua got ejected late in the first half freeing up some routes for LA’s depth receivers. With Jordan Whittington out this week, Johnson was the next man up. He reeled in a 24-yard grab in overtime that led to a Demarcus Robinson game-winning touchdown four plays later. Johnson isn’t on the fantasy radar for Week 10 but is a good depth option for the Rams.

Johnson was a full-time player with Jordan Whittington sidelined, playing 50 offensive snaps for the first time since Week 1 and catching a pass for the first time since Week 3. Johnson will not be re-draft viable against the Vikings in Week 8, though this positive blip on the radar creates a potential selling opportunity in dynasty.
