NO TE Juwan Johnson - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Juwan Johnson flashed some upside, finishing the year with 22 targets in his last nine games. We have him projected as the TE20 this year with 38 receptions for 394 yards and four scores. Unfortunately, he's on the PUP list at the moment, and looks like his status is uncertain for Week 1. If he were to contribute fantasy-wise, it would likely be a waiver wire add later in the year.

Fantasy Downside

The downside for Johnson is linked to that injury that he's rehabbing from. If he's unable to take the field to start the season, there's no telling when he'll be up to full speed. By then, the other options on the team may have a strong enough hold on Derek Carr's targets that Johnson becomes the forgotten man here.

2024 Bottom Line

He's undraftable in all but the deepest and weirdest formats of fantasy. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for his return and his role, but that's about it.

NO TE Juwan Johnson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Juwan Johnson has quietly creeped back into a deep consideration at the tight end position with touchdowns in back-to-back games and coming off seeing seven targets against the Rams. However, at this point, he's too touchdown-dependent to be relied on in the finals.

NO TE Juwan Johnson - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Detroit Lions

Thanks to all the injuries in New Orleans, Juwan Johnson is back in the fantasy mix this week after seeing seven targets last week, catching four for a season-high 45 yards. You could argue Johnson is currently the best option in the downfield passing game. If so, then he may be worth a look as a starting tight end this week against a Lions defense that has been average against opposing tight ends and in a week where options such as Dalton Kincaid and T.J. Hockenson are both out.

NO TE Juwan Johnson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Green Bay Packers

Juwan Johnson has eight targets through two weeks. There are simply too many mouths to feed in New Orleans in Johnson is near the bottom of that group. He may spring for a touchdown and surprise in a given week, but there's nothing right now to suggest he should be in your starting lineup this week against the Packers.

NO TE Juwan Johnson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Carolina Panthers

Juwan Johnson saw five targets in Week 1 but only came away with 36 yards on three catches. The Saints have a bunch of receivers already in the mix and the Saints can always line up Taysom Hill at tight end as well (though that didn’t really happen in Week 1). Johnson will always be a tough matchup each week.

NO TE Juwan Johnson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Tennessee Titans

Juwan Johnson was quietly a solid tight end for the Saints in 2022 and now Derek Carr throwing him the football. But we know by now the Saints also have Taysom Hill, though Hill is now listed as a quarterback on the Saints' depth chart. That caps the potential of Johnson but if the Saints can get into the red zone, which they likely will a few times against the Titans, Johnson becomes a threat to score. If you start him, you're banking on those touchdowns.

NO TE Juwan Johnson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Philadelphia Eagles

Juwan Johnson had two touchdowns in Week 15. He had just one catch in Week 16. He's about as volatile at the tight end position as you can get and he faces a tough matchup on the road against an Eagles team trying to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Johnson is a tough play in the fantasy finals as we've seen the high ceiling he provides but also the very low floor he brings.
