Read the full article

From the article

The conclusion of the Taysom Hill era in New Orleans means Johnson is set to see an increase in snaps, routes, and possibly targets in a Saints offense that could be a little more pass-first than it was in 2025 under rookie Tyler Shough. In Shough's starts (Week 9-18), Johnson had the third highest yards per route run among tight ends. He was eighth in fantasy points per route run over the span.
