Leads receiving corps in defeat Johnson caught four of eight targets for 96 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Browns.
Impact The rookie fifth-round pick received his first start with DJ Chark (ribs) and Chris Conley (hip) inactive Sunday, and he made his biggest impact during the second quarter with a 46-yard touchdown reception. Even discounting the long score, Johnson's additional seven targets and 50 receiving yards still would have led the team. He entered Week 12 with only seven catches and 69 yards all season, so his role in the offense figures to hinge on the health of Chark going forward, but it seems likely Johnson has earned a larger opportunity after the breakout performance.

Draws first career start Johnson is slated to start alongside Laviska Shenault and Keelan Cole at wide receiver Sunday against the Browns, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Impact For at least this week, the rookie fifth-round pick is poised to have a regular spot in three-wideout sets with DJ Chark (ribs) and Chris Conley (hip) inactive for the contest. Since drawing a career-high four targets Week 5 in Houston, Johnson has garnered only three looks in the passing game over Jacksonville's subsequent five games. The absences of Shenault and Cole should create more opportunities for Johnson, and the Jacksonville passing game as a whole has nowhere to go but up under Week 12 starting quarterback Mike Glennon, who steps in for struggling rookie Jake Luton.

No targets Sunday Johnson wasn't targeted during Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Steelers.
Impact The rookie fifth-round pick had a strong Week 5 with three catches for 30 yards and a touchdown, but he has only two catches for 22 yards over the past five games. Johnson doesn't have a target in the last two games despite Laviska Shenault (hamstring) being unavailable.

Will play against Steelers Johnson (hamstring) is active Week 11 against Pittsburgh.
Impact Johnson has yet to see meaningful work on offense, as he's accumulated more special teams snaps than offensive ones in each of the last three games. Even though Laviska Shenault (hamstring) is inactive for the contest, the receiving corps will still presumably be led by DJ Chark, Keelan Cole and Chris Conley.

Officially questionable Johnson (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Impact Johnson has played less than 15 percent of offensive snaps in back-to-back games, even with Laviska Shenault (hamstring) having missed both those contests. As such, even if Johnson manages to suit up versus Pittsburgh, it's unlikely that he'll handle a significant role on offense.

Hauls in one pass Johnson caught one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 27-25 loss to Houston.
Impact The rookie fifth-round pick played only nine offensive snaps during the contest, which is his lowest snap total since Week 2. Laviska Shenault (hamstring) left with an injury during the first quarter, but he still ended up seeing more snaps than Johnson. Even if Shenault is forced to miss some time, it's unlikely Johnson sees his role change significantly while DJ Chark, Keelan Cole and Chris Conley remain in good health.

Secures first career touchdown Johnson caught three of four targets for 30 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Texans
Impact The rookie fifth-round pick entered Sunday's game with only two receptions for 17 yards, but he saw his highest snap count of the season (23) with DJ Chark (ankle) exiting due to injury. Johnson still ranked last among Jacksonville's active wideouts in playing time, so without another injury to the group he seems unlikely to be significantly more involved in the offense.

Registers first career NFL catch Johnson caught his only target for a 14-yard gain during Sunday's 27-20 win against the Colts.
Impact The rookie wideout from Texas was one of the many beneficiaries to Gardner Minshew's uber-efficient afternoon, as he was among 10 Jaguars players to catch at least one pass while Minshew completed 19-of-20 attempts. Johnson saw under 20 percent of the offensive snaps in his debut, as Keelan Cole, DJ Chark and fellow rookie Laviska Shenault were the only Jaguars receivers to attract more than one target. Heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Titans, Johnson is expected to remain a depth wide receiver option for the so far run-heavy Jaguars offense.
