Johnson started off very hot, but the Saints offense was shut down by the Vikings in Week 5 and were ahead early against the Giants last week, limiting pass attempts. Johnson's usage dipped to just 4.8 and 2.2 expected half PPR points over those games. The backup LT and Tyler Shough's hand injury could be hampering Johnson on the margins, but the more likely scenario is a middle ground emerges in France. Johnson is the TE10 on TE8 usage this season, fully buoyed by league-leading dropbacks to open the year. The Steelers enter Week 7 ranked 18th in half PPR points allowed per game to TEs (9.7). Pittsburgh allowed top-10 weekly TE finishes to Mike Gesicki (TE11) in Week 3, Harold Fannin Jr. (TE10) in Week 4 and Tyler Warren (TE4) in Week 5. Part of this is because they have a great run DL and it's easiest to have a quick-hitting pass game to counter it. Johnson will see some of SCB Jalen Ramsey, who continues to play excellent ball. New Orleans is listed as 3.5-point home underdogs with an implied team total of 20.5 points (19th).
