Collin Johnson

This may to be viewed as more of a dynasty stash than a season-long add, but Jaguars’ wide receiver Collin Johnson burst onto the scene in a big way in Week 12. In a game where the Jaguars were absent D.J. Chark and Chris Conley, Johnson joined fellow rookie Laviska Shenault and Keelan Cole as the primary receiving threats against the Browns.

Johnson finished the day with a team-high eight targets and posted 4/91/1 along with 19.6 PPR (WR13).

This was Johnson’s second double-digit performance of the season, but his most dominant one to date.
