Juwan Johnson Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has quietly put together a strong campaign in 2025. Over the last five games, Johnson has finished with 46 receiving yards or more in four of them. During that span, Johnson has also hauled in 23 receptions with two touchdowns. The 29-year-old has been a solid second option in the passing game behind Chris Olave. Given his consistent success, Johnson figures to remain a focal point in this passing game. He should continue to succeed against a suspect Miami Dolphins defense in Week 13. Fantasy managers should be able to plug in Johnson as a TE1 for this weekend.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson isn't the sexiest name by any means at his position, primarily because he resides in a Saints offense that is tied for last in the league with 15 points scored per game. However, Johnson has been the No. 2 option in the passing game in New Orleans in 2025 behind receiver Chris Olave, and he enters Week 13 action tied with Hunter Henry at 8.7 half-PPR fantasy points per contest. The 29-year-old had touchdown catches in back-to-back games going into the Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, including a season-high 92 receiving yards before the team's Week 11 bye. On Sunday, Johnson had six catches (second-most in a game this year) on seven targets for 46 yards against Atlanta. His 67 targets through 11 games in 2025 tie him for seventh at the TE position. Johnson will be in position as an intriguing low-end TE1 in fantasy in a plus matchup this weekend versus Miami. He is on pace for a career-best season.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson had another impressive performance against the Panthers in Week 10, recording four receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown in the victory. Over his last four contests, he has 17 receptions for 255 yards and two touchdowns. The Saints are operating without receiver Rashid Shaheed, who was traded at the deadline, and Brandin Cooks, whom the team agreed to waive. This leaves a clear path forward for Johnson, who is eighth in targets among tight ends, to establish an even larger role in the offense. He and former college teammate Tyler Shough have a strong connection, and he will remain a low-end TE1 option against a Falcons defense that has allowed only one touchdown to tight ends on the season.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson scored in back-to-back games before the team's Week 11 bye, establishing a good connection with former college teammate Tyler Shough. It's been a strong four-game stretch for the 29-year-old, totaling 17 receptions for 255 yards and two touchdowns on 23 targets. With Rashid Shaheed dealt to the Seattle Seahawks at the trade deadline, Johnson has the opportunity to establish himself as the No. 2 target earner behind top wideout Chris Olave. Johnson was the TE2 in PPR points per game (14.2) in the first three weeks of the season before cooling off in the following three contests. However, the Saints' offense is trending up with Shough playing decently well, and Johnson is back on the map as a potential low-end TE1 moving forward. Owned in 35% of ESPN leagues, he is worth adding in 12-team leagues if he is still available.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson caught all four of his targets for 92 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Carolina Panthers. The highlight of Johnson's game was a 30-yard touchdown reception that extended New Orleans' lead to multiple possessions. It was a bit unclear how top receivers like Johnson and Chris Olave would perform in rookie quarterback Tyler Shough's second career start, but both pass catchers turned in big outings while strengthening their rapport with the Louisville product. Johnson has been a pleasant surprise in fantasy football this year, ranking as the overall TE6 in PPR leagues with 43 catches, 491 yards, and a trio of scores. He should continue to be started in all leagues on the other side of the Saints' Week 11 bye.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson caught the only Saints touchdown in Week 9 against the Rams, finishing with three receptions for 31 yards on four targets. This marked his sixth game of the season with at least 50 receiving yards or a touchdown. The return of fellow tight ends Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau briefly lowered Johnson's stock, but he has bounced back with 13 receptions for 163 yards and a touchdown over his last three games. With Rashid Shaheed traded at the deadline and the Saints lacking depth at the receiver position, Johnson should be in line for an uptick in targets. He ranks as a borderline TE1/TE2 against the Panthers in Week 10, who allow the 13th-most PPR points to tight ends.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has gained more appeal as a starting option this weekend when he lines up with the hosting Carolina Panthers. The University of Oregon product had a rough three-game stretch from Weeks 4-6 in which he hauled in seven receptions for 50 yards, although he's bounced back over the previous three outings (13/163), and even got back into the end zone for the second time this season -- and first since Week 2. With ex-teammate Rashid Shaheed gone for Seattle, Johnson should assume the role of the No. 2 pass-catcher behind wide receiver Chris Olave. Production could be inconsistent with rookie QB Tyler Shough manning the helm. However, the opportunity will be there in a Saints offense bereft of weaponry.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has put together three strong performances over the last few weeks. On Sunday, Johnson hauled in three of his four targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Before that, Johnson had posted back-to-back five-catch games for the Saints. It's worth noting that the Saints traded wide receiver Rashid Shaheed on Tuesday, so Johnson could see more passes coming his way. Johnson is worth rostering in most fantasy formats and is someone to consider as a streaming option for the Week 10 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson recorded five receptions on eight targets for 53 yards in the Week 8 blowout loss to the Buccaneers. This marked his second straight game with five catches, a welcome sign after totaling just seven receptions for 60 yards from Weeks 4-6. Johnson has only one touchdown on the season, but with Tyler Shough now under center, the passing game is unlikely to slow down, and he should remain involved as a receiver. In their limited time together in Week 8, Shough and Johnson connected on three passes for 35 yards. Johnson profiles as a TE2 this week, though building chemistry with the rookie quarterback could raise his value going forward.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson bounced back in Week 7 against the Bears, catching five passes for 79 yards on seven targets. His receptions and targets were his most since Week 3 against the Seahawks. Johnson's drop-off in opportunities has coincided with Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau returning to the rotation, and that trend is likely to continue moving forward. Johnson dealt with a neck injury in practice this week, but is healthy and ready to go for Week 8 against the Buccaneers. He remains a touchdown-dependent, boom-or-bust fantasy option in the divisional matchup.
