Yahoo Fantasy Football on Juwan Johnson

Johnson's 11.5 PPG pace and third-most TE yards support starting vs. weak Lions.

Johnson excelled in 2025 with Tyler Shough at quarterback, posting 11.5 fantasy points per game in 11 games played. He finished third among all tight ends in the NFL with 889 receiving yards and posted career-highs in targets (102), receptions (77), and yards (889). There is little target competition outside of Chris Olave, as rookie Jordyn Tyson remains sidelined with a hamstring injury. The Saints are expected to trail in this game which implies a passing game script. The source recommends starting Johnson against the shaky Lions secondary in a game that has the second-highest total of Week 1 (49.5).
