From the article

Johnson averaged 11.7 PPR points in games Tyler Shough started. That also roughly lines up with his post-Rashid Shaheed split, when he averaged 11.6 points per game. The Saints drafted Jordyn Tyson as a Shaheed replacement and then some. They also added tight end Oscar Delp via the draft. Tyson is on IR and Delp looks unlikely to suit up, meaning Johnson should have no issues replicating his nearly 12 points per game in a potential shootout with the Lions.

Shaheed's absence and Tyson's IR status clear the way for Johnson's 11.6 PPG pace.
