Risk Flags
6- Target Competition
Johnson sits behind Egbuka, Godwin, McMillan, and Tez Johnson on the depth chart. Despite injuries creating opportunities in 2025, he still managed only 4 catches on 7 targets across 17 games, confirming his role is non-existent offensively.
- Offensive Role
Johnson's entire 2025 value came from kick and punt returns (685 KR yards, 291 PR yards). Special teams contributions have no dynasty relevance, and his offensive snap count of roughly 105 confirms he is not in the receiving rotation.
- Role Security
The Bucs specifically drafted Keionte Scott (Round 4) as punt-return insurance, a direct threat to the only function keeping Johnson on the 53-man roster. Scott was a standout punt returner at Auburn in 2023, and his addition could render Johnson expendable before training camp ends.
- Roster Security
With Ted Hurst (R3 WR) and Keionte Scott (R4 ST/CB) both added in the 2026 draft, Johnson's already-thin claim to a roster spot has weakened further. He is not a lock to survive final cuts; his entire case rests on special teams volume that is now contested.
- Prospect Profile
As an undrafted free agent out of Division II Barton College, Johnson lacks the pedigree that typically translates to a dynasty breakout. His limited NFL receiving sample offers no evidence of a pathway to meaningful offensive involvement.
- Draft Capital
Tampa Bay used R3 P20 on WR Ted Hurst, adding fresh same-position capital that further pushes Johnson down the pecking order for any spot-role snaps.
