Buccaneers.com (2024) - Rookie Kameron Johnson Dubbed "A Stud"

Kameron Johnson caught 4-of-4 targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers’ Week 6 win over the 49ers.

Sure. Johnson, a 2024 UDFA from “Barton College” (not making this up) had just one target in 10 games in his NFL career before today. He was lost coming across the formation on his touchdown strike of 34 yards that came late in the first half, and added the other 30 yards on a pair of second-and-long strikes as the Buccaneers successfully navigated their way to a late field goal to push their lead to two scores. He essentially played in relief for Emeka Egubka, picking up 25 snaps to Egbuka’s 28. None of his work in the regular season — heck, none of his work in the preseason — would forecast anything near this ever happening. Fluke game or future $1 waiver wire league winner? We’d lean more towards fluke. But if we don’t have better news on Egbuka, Mike Evans, or Chris Godwin by your league’s waiver deadline, Johnson might be worth a roll against the Lions on Monday night.

PFF's Nathan Jahnke - NFL Week 6 Recap: Immediate fantasy football takeaways from Sunday's games

Monitor Emeka Egbuka’s health: Egbuka suffered a hamstring injury in the third quarter and didn’t return.

The Buccaneers started this week without three of their top four wide receivers. Mike Evans didn't practice all week and missed his third straight game due to a hamstring injury. Chris Godwin Jr. didn't practice all week due to a fibula injury. Both were ruled out on Friday. Jalen McMillan suffered a neck injury in the preseason and is expected to miss at least a few more weeks.

This left Egbuka playing the X-receiver role, as he’s played the last three weeks with Evans out. He rotated in the slot a little more this week than in other recent weeks. Sterling Shepard remained the third receiver in three-receiver sets, while Tez Johnson replaced Godwin as the team’s Z receiver throughout the game. Once Egbuka left the game 2024 undrafted receiver out of Barton, Kameron Johnson, took over. While Johnson is only 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds, he was the primary X receiver over the rest of the game.

Kameron Johnson caught four passes for 64 yards and a touchdown. It’s fair to avoid all of the Buccaneers’ wide receivers that are lower on the depth chart, assuming one player can come back next week. However, if none of them do, it will be a toss-up to which Johnson has more fantasy value. It’s more likely that tight end Cade Otton, who led the team in targets, would be the Buccaneers’ receiver to target.
