According to the team, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Tyler Johnson (coach's decision) will not suit up on Sunday afternoon to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round. The 26-year-old also sat out during the wild-card round. As a result, fantasy managers should expect
Puka Nacua,
Cooper Kupp, and
Demarcus Robinson to lead the passing attack in Philadelphia.
Tutu Atwell and
Jordan Whittington will operate as rotational pieces. During Week 18, when several starters rested, Johnson brought in four of his seven targets for 35 yards and a touchdown. Nacua carries an elite WR1 upside on this slate, whereas Kupp and Robinson carry flex value.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Tyler Johnson is a healthy inactive for Monday night's wild-card showdown in Arizona against the Minnesota Vikings. Johnson will be the odd-man out for the Rams offense on Monday night after playing a season-high 49 offensive snaps in the Week 18 loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks in the regular-season finale with both
Puka Nacua and
Cooper Kupp resting. The 26-year-old pass-catcher will now hope the Rams can beat the Vikings to advance to the Divisional Round next weekend in Philadelphia versus the Eagles. The former fifth-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in 2020 out of Minnesota caught 26 of his 41 targets for 291 yards and only one touchdown (in Week 18) in 15 games (two starts) in his second season with LA and wasn't on the fantasy radar in 12-team formats.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Tyler Johnson had an expanded role on Sunday with
Puka Nacua and
Cooper Kupp resting, and he scored his first touchdown of the season while catching four of his seven targets for a total of 35 yards. Johnson's touchdown came at the start of the fourth quarter, but the Seahawks rallied for a 30-25 victory over their division rival. Despite the loss, the Rams claim the NFC West crown and will host the Vikings in the playoffs next week. Johnson will return to a greatly reduced role with Nacua and Kupp back, although his 26 catches for 291 yards and a touchdown this season have shown he can still produce in the NFL and represent a nice bounce-back season for the former Golden Gopher.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Tyler Johnson will not be a recommended fantasy option for Sunday's meeting with their division-rival Seattle Seahawks. The 26-year-old was a healthy scratch for the last two contests, but he'll be called upon to work in the Rams' season finale, with teammates
Puka Nacua and
Cooper Kupp getting the afternoon off. Johnson will likely slot in as the third or fourth option in the offense behind wideouts
Demarcus Robinson and
Tutu Atwell -- competing with
Jordan Whittington for looks from quarterback
Jimmy Garoppolo. Fantasy managers looking for a streaming option can do better than the fifth-year pro, who presents as a low-floor, low-upside option in the season's final week. Johnson ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR86 ahead of Week 18's action.
