Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Kameron Johnson has been held without a catch in each of his last two games, and he'll likely remain off the fantasy radar in Week 10 against the New England Patriots. While Tampa Bay has been hit by the injury bug on offense, they've found receivers other than Johnson to step up and fill larger roles. For example, players like Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard have been more involved with Mike Evans (collarbone) and Chris Godwin Jr. (fibula) sidelined. Meanwhile, Johnson has zero catches on one target over his last two games. He has just four catches this whole season, and all four came in Week 6 against the 49ers. The second-year Barton product should remain primarily involved on special teams, where he has four kick returns and four punt returns over the last two weeks.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Kameron Johnson failed to build on his breakout Week 6 performance. After posting 64 yards and a touchdown against the 49ers, Johnson was shut out on Monday night versus the Detroit Lions. Johnson played just 20% of the offensive snaps in Week 7, falling behind Emeka Egbuka, Sterling Shepard, and Tez Johnson in the receiver rotation. While injuries in the Buccaneers' receiving corps could eventually create opportunities, Johnson appears firmly locked into a backup role for now. Fantasy managers can safely drop him in all formats.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Kameron Johnson came out of nowhere and had a solid game versus the San Francisco 49ers last week. Johnson hauled in all four of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the win. Normally, Johnson is a distant option on the depth chart, but the Bucs are extremely banged up right now. They could be without Mike Evans (hamstring) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) for Monday's game against the Detroit Lions. If they sit, Johnson, Sterling Shepard, and Tez Johnson would be the primary wideouts. The organization praised Johnson after his four-catch performance last weekend. He figures to have an expanded role if Evans and Egbuka are unable to go. There could be some flex value here for fantasy managers who are desperate for an option this weekend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers coach Bryan McClendon said that WR Kameron Johnson "has the physical tools and brightness to go in and play several spots," according to the Pewter Report. The Buccaneers have "all the confidence putting him in games." They feel that Johnson is just scratching the surface and can "make people miss when he has the ball in his hands." The 23-year-old had a career-best performance in the team's Week 6 win over the San Francisco 49ers, catching all four of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown. Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (leg) were already out, and then rookie Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) went down with an injury on Sunday. Johnson played almost 50% of the offensive snaps, and a bigger role should await him on Monday night against the Detroit Lions, with Godwin and Egbuka unlikely to play. He will be in play as a WR streamer in Week 7, especially if Evans misses another contest.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Kameron Johnson came out of nowhere in Week 6, and he ended the contest with four receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 30-19 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. With injuries to Emeka Egbuka (hamstring), Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (leg), Jalen McMillan (neck), and Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot), Johnson has an opportunity in Week 7 to be a sleeper start in deeper league formats with multiple flex spots or 12-plus team leagues. In Week 7, the Buccaneers play the Detroit Lions, and most sportsbooks have an over/under of 52.5 points, implying that a lot of points are to be expected in this matchup. Fantasy managers who are struggling to fill a wide receiver spot due to injuries and bye weeks may want to look Johnson's way this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Kameron Johnson led the Bucs with 64 receiving yards by catching all four of his targets in Week 6, and he could be a big part of the team's passing game in Week 7 as well after Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) was forced to leave that game with an injury after Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin Jr. (fibula), and Jalen McMillan (neck) were all out already. Johnson is a second-year receiver that the Bucs signed as an undrafted free agent before last year. He played in five games and had just one target all of last year, and he hadn't had a target before Sunday's big game against the 49ers. His role is uncertain moving forward, but with so many injury issues in Tampa Bay and an effective passing offense, Johnson does bring potential upside in the short term.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers second-year wide receiver Kameron Johnson recorded the first four catches of his career in Week 6, finishing with 64 receiving yards and a touchdown in his team's 30-19 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Johnson was forced into action due to injuries to Buccaneers wideouts Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (leg), Emeka Egbuka (hamstring), and Jalen McMillan (neck). Tampa Bay could be getting at least one of its injured wide receivers back in Week 7, but the team also might be without all four once again. If that's the case, Kameron Johnson, Tez Johnson, and Sterling Shepard would be the lead candidates for playing time in a juicy Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Kameron Johnson could be a waiver-wire priority for fantasy managers, pending more news on the Bucs' injured wideouts.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Kameron Johnson (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's Week 3 home matchup against the Denver Broncos. Johnson started the week with a limited practice on Wednesday before downgrading to a DNP on Thursday and Friday. In anticipation of his absence, Tampa Bay has elevated wide receiver Sterling Shepherd off its practice squad for depth at the position. The 22-year-old rookie has been a distant option for the Bucs so far in 2024, recording the fewest snaps of all wideouts (11) and failing to earn a single target in the passing game. His lone touch on the year was a carry he advanced for no gain. Chris Godwin and Mike Evans will remain the de facto top two targets for Baker Mayfield, with Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer picking up the scraps in a smash spot for the team this weekend.
