How this is measured
Each bar is the league at his position; the marker is him. Right is better, the dashed line is the median. Ranks are out of the qualifying pool, ties shown as T-, and move every week as the pool changes.
Johnston scores 8.6 standard points a game, WR17 of 170 WRs with enough games. Most weeks land between 2.1 and 14.1; 4 boom weeks (12+) and 5 busts (under 5).
Johnston scores 10.4 half-PPR points a game, WR22 of 170 WRs with enough games. Most weeks land between 3.7 and 16.0; 3 boom weeks (16+) and 4 busts (under 6.5).
Johnston scores 12.2 PPR points a game, WR22 of 170 WRs with enough games. Most weeks land between 5.3 and 17.7; 3 boom weeks (20+) and 4 busts (under 8).
How this is measured
Fantasy points are nflverse's standard and full-PPR scoring (6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown, 4 for a passing touchdown, minus 2 for an interception or a lost fumble); half PPR is the average of the two. Ranks are points a game among players at his position with at least half the most games played. Most weeks is his 20th to 80th percentile game. Bars are green on a boom week and red on a bust; the dashed line is the starter line, the points a game of the WR24 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.
How he's usedhis fingerprint, where the ball finds him and when
His share of the team's targets is 16%: on third down it holds at 13%; inside the 20 it holds at 19%.
How this is measured
Every trait is a share of his own targets, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying wide receivers; the dashed line is the median. Styles are not grades: a high or low percentile is a description, not a verdict. Play action, screen, RPO, motion and blitz flags come from FTN charting and read low in a week it has not published.
Johnston's +23.9 EPA is 36th of 146 wide receivers. The biggest share comes in the air (+30.7, 51st percentile per target).
career +0.27 over 2023–2024 · his 2nd best of 3
How this is measured
Every target this season, split by what happened. Catches divide at the catch: the yards in the air and what came after. The percentile is him among the qualifying wide receivers, higher is better, so a cost smaller than most ranks high. The parts add up to the totals above; the career strip counts seasons with at least 15 targets.
He is targeted deep left 2.7× as often as the league (13% of his targets against 5%) and gains +1.64 EPA a target there.
How this is measured
Every target with a charted depth and direction this season; sacks and throws with no charted direction are left out. Left and right are as the offense sees the field. Cells with fewer than three targets show no EPA.

Targets are steady: 5.3 a game over his last three against 6 for the season. At or above a starter's median in yards in 10 of 14 games. EPA / target is rising too: +0.85 over the last three.
How this is measured
Bars are his week. The shaded band is the league's middle half at his position, every qualifying player-game this season, and the dashed line is its median. The solid line is his trailing three games. An × on the baseline is a game his team played without him; a dotted tick is the bye.
He has faced the 24th-toughest slate vs WR: his opponents rank 17.4 of 32 on average (league middle 16.2).
