Marcus Johnson Fantasy

Free-agent wide receivers Marcus Johnson and Malik Turner are visiting the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday, according to Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network. Through seven games in 2021, Johnson hauled in nine of 19 targets for 160 yards. Meanwhile, Turner enjoyed some late-game action, too, catching 12 passes for 149 yards and three scores. It remains to be seen if either player signs with San Francisco, but even if they do, it would only be for a depth role. Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittleand Jauan Jennings have asserted themselves as key pieces of the offense, which is already run-oriented.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Marcus Johnson (hamstring) was placed on Injured Reserve for the second time this year on Tuesday, which will bring his 2021 season to an end. Johnson had stepped up recently with veteran Julio Jones (hamstring) on IR, but he'll now have to sit out for the rest of the year. The 27-year-old will finish his fifth NFL season with nine catches on 19 targets for 160 yards and no touchdowns in seven games (three starts). With Jones still on IR and No. 1 receiver A.J. Brown (chest) getting hurt in the Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans, the Titans added veteran Golden Tate to their practice squad on Tuesday. If Brown is unable to play this Sunday against the New England Patriots, the Titans could be down to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chester Rogers as their top two receivers.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Marcus Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of the team's Week 11 contest against the Texans, leaving Chester Rogers to likely play the role of No. 2 receiver beside A.J. Brown. Johnson was a popular waiver add this week after catching five passes for 100 yards against the Saints, but he'll finish this week's game with no receptions. Whether or not you should drop Johnson in fantasy will depend on the severity of this injury.
