Olabisi Johnson Hauls In Four Catches Against Giants
Olabisi Johnson had his first impactful game as a pro, snagging all four of his targets for 43 yards in Sunday's Week 5 win. Johnson worked in as the third receiver and certainly made the most of his increased opportunity against the lousy Giants secondary. Though Johnson tied Stefon Diggs for targets this game, that trend isn't likely to continue and the Vikings remain a run-first team on offense. Johnson is not yet on the radar as a bench stash in re-draft formats, but he's a player to keep an eye on in deep leagues as he has a chance to develop into the third option in the passing attack.

Bisi Johnson Finishes With 29 Receiving Yards
Bisi Johnson caught three passes for 29 yards in Saturday's 17-7 preseason loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Johnson was able to command the most targets in this one with six while finishing tied with Nick Muse for the team lead in receiving yards. The 25-year-old has an uphill climb to significant playing time in the Minnesota offense, as Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, and K.J. Osborn headline the wide receiver group. The Vikings figure to run a lot of three-WR sets, so Johnson's best-case scenario for fantasy relevance would be locking up the No. 4 wide receiver role and having someone ahead of him miss time. Still, he would need to beat out Ihmir Smith-Marsette for the WR4 spot on the depth chart. As of now, he is not on the fantasy radar.
