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.
