Marcus Johnson Fantasy Stats

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.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Marcus Johnson led the team with 100 receiving yards in the Week 10 win over the New Orleans Saints. The Titans placed Julio Jones (hamstring) on injured reserve last week, and he will miss the next three games. Johnson should continue to see an expanded role while Jones is sidelined. He logged 63% of the offensive snaps in last Sunday's win. Johnson is a boom-or-bust flex and can be used as a streamer in deep-league formats with the favorable matchup against the Texans, who allow the 14th most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2021.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Marcus Johnson caught five of six targets for 100 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the New Orleans Saints. The 27-year-old saw an increased role with Julio Jones (hamstring) and had his best game of the season. He led the Titans in targets, receptions, and receiving yards in Week 10. The Titans placed Jones on injured reserve Saturday, and he will miss a minimum of three weeks. Johnson should continue to be the Titans' WR2 and is worth adding off the waiver wire in most league formats. The Texas product will look to build off Sunday's performance in a plus matchup against the Houston Texans in Week 11.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Marcus Johnson caught 3-of-5 targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 37-19 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He saw an increased role with wide receivers Julio Jones (hamstring) and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hamstring) inactive for Week 5. The 27-year-old logged 46 snaps, which accounted for 77% of the team's total offensive snaps. Johnson is a name to monitor in deep-league formats if Jones and Westbrook-Ikhine remain sidelined. The Titans wide receiver will look to build on Sunday's performance in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marcus Johnson (knee) and tight end Mo Alie-Cox (knee) are both questionable for Week 9 against the Ravens. T.Y. Hilton (groin) is doubtful and Ashton Dulin (knee) is out, so the Colts could be very short-handed at receiver against Baltimore. Zach Pascal and rookies Michael Pittman Jr. and Dezmon Patmon would be in three-receiver sets if Johnson doesn't suit up. Pascal and Pittman are hard to recommend, even as WR4/5 options in this run-first offense. Johnson has 11 catches for 227 yards in four games in 2020. Alie-Cox is splitting time with Trey Burton and Jack Doyle and should remain on the waiver wire in your league. The 27-year-old caught three passes for 37 yards in the Week 8 win over Detroit.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marcus Johnson led the team in receiving Sunday with five catches for 108 yards on eight targets. This is likely an outlier performance for Johnson considering he had just four catches for 80 yards in two games prior to Sunday's game against the Bengals. He has seen his snap count increase in each of the three weeks he has been active this season, but that does not make him a reliable fantasy option going forward. Philip Rivers has a new favorite target every week, so any player can lead the team in receiving on any given day. He will look for a similar performance in Week 8 against the Lions.

The Indianapolis Colts have re-signed wide receiver Marcus Johnson, per his agents. Johnson appeared in eight games for the Colts last season, starting six of them and finishing with 17 catches for 277 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Notably, Johnson was targeted at least four times in each of the team's final five games, and he played at least 72 percent of snaps in each of those games as well. While we shouldn't expect the Colts to enter 2020 with Johnson as one of their starting wideouts, he should be someone to keep an eye on during the preseason to see how his role looks. Johnson's the kind of player who could emerge as a mid-season waiver priority should the Colts deal with injury issues or ineffectiveness from some of their younger receivers.

The Indianapolis Colts won't tender impending restricted free-agent wide receiver Marcus Johnson, meaning he'll hit the open market. Johnson made six starts last season and caught three passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in a game against the Buccaneers, so he should have interest on the open market. In all, the 25-year-old caught 17 passes for 277 yards (16.3 yards per catch) and two touchdowns in eight games played. He saw increased playing time due to injuries to T.Y. Hilton, Devin Funchess and Parris Campbell throughout the year. He'll likely have to battle for a starting spot wherever he lands, but he's a name to keep an eye on.
