Who Should I Start? Tyler Johnson or Jimmy Horn Jr.

Saturday, March 15, 12:15 PM

Former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tyler Johnson has signed an undisclosed contract with the New York Jets. The 25-year-old is entering his sixth season in the league after spending two years with the Rams and the first three seasons of his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A former fifth-round pick, Johnson got a good amount of playing time early in 2024 while LA dealt with injuries to Puka Nacua and former wideout Cooper Kupp. However, he's climbed the depth chart with his new squad and figures to slot in as the Jets' second or third option in their WR corps. New York may continue to bolster their core of pass-catchers. Still, Johnson presents as a low-risk, high-reward option as the Jets continue to retool their roster.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. (hamstring) is not practicing during this week's OTAs as he works through a hamstring injury, according to team reporter David Newton. While catching passes from Shedeur Sanders over the last two seasons at Colorado, Horn hauled in 95 receptions for 1,008 yards and seven touchdowns in 23 games. He was a sixth-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, and it would be somewhat of a surprise if he's on the fantasy football radar in Year 1. Assuming he can get healthy and make the 53-man roster, he figures to begin his career behind Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thilen, David Moore, Jalen Coker, and potentially more wideouts on the depth chart.
