Juwan Johnson Fantasy

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson shouldn't be in starting lineups against Buffalo in Week 12. Johnson will now take on a bigger role with fellow TE Adam Trautman out for four to six weeks due to an MCL sprain. The youngster started off the season alright, but has since had a nonexistent role in this offense. Given he's unproven and his target share is unclear at the moment, there are better options to start than Johnson or any New Orleans tight end.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson should remain benched in Week 5. Johnson managed a touchdown last week but has only managed six receptions for 64 yards on 10 targets in four total games this season, leaving his production much to be desired. The Saints do not have a high-volume passing offense, meaning all the pass-catchers take a hit in fantasy. Johnson has a generally small role on this team and is still technically fighting for targets with Adam Trautman, so he is not a worthy fantasy play.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson caught 2 of 3 targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in a Week 4 loss to the Giants. Johnson again showed off his ability in the red zone, as he caught a 15-yard score from Jameis Winston, his third touchdown of the year. The big tight end doesn't offer much outside of his pass-catching inside the 20s, though it's clear New Orleans views him as a weapon in that area of the field. Johnson could be worth stashing- especially in standard leagues if he's still available on the waiver wire.
