The rookie's 75% route participation was in line with previous weeks. The biggest difference Sunday as clearly the absence of WR Malik Nabers.

Johnson's 14.7% traget share for this one would be nice usage going forward, and could fit alongside WRs Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson. But we'll have to see it happen with Nabers in the lineup before believing in the rookie TE as a viable fantasy starter.
