Tyler Johnson

The Buccaneers have signed WR Tyler Johnson to their practice squad.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson was waived by Tampa Bay following training camp, claimed by Houston, and then waived by them last week. The 24-year-old has played in 33 NFL games, tallying 48 receptions for 529 yards and two TD. He does not have any fantasy appeal at this time.

According to PFF's Ari Meirov, the Houston Texans are waiving WR Tyler Johnson who they picked up from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the start of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson is being cut after the Texans signed WR Tyron Johnson to their active roster. Tyler Johnson saw very limited action this season, appearing in just two games, Week 4 and Week 5. Johnson is yet to catch a pass this year, but he will likely be picked up by a team fairly quickly.

The Houston Texans claimed WR Tyler Johnson off of waivers Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson was one of the most surprising players cut Tuesday. The wide receiver room in Tampa Bay was loaded with talent which likely forced the Bucs hand in moving on from Johnson. The former fifth round pick will now join a roster in rebuild mode and has a chance to see increased playing time.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers waived WR Tyler Johnson Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Sort of a surprising move here by the Bucs, releasing a young and talented WR. The 24-year-old tallied 360 yards on 36 receptions last season. Johnson will likely get an opportunity with another team this season.

Buccaneers WR Tyler Johnson had a great day Saturday, hauling in 6-7 targets for 73 yards in Saturday's 26-24 loss to the Dolphins

Fantasy Impact

Johnson, a former fifth-round pick, has shown flashes during his career in Tampa Bay, but he hasn't yet been able to truly be an asset for the team. That may change in year three, as he is impressing the coaching staff in both practice and now in their lone preseason game. If he keeps playing like this, he will lock down a roster spot, and he could find himself climbing the depth chart for Tampa Bay.
