From the episode

I think tight ends are going to hammer Detroit until those guys are back. So I want to lean into that with Juwan Johnson. I've got him tight end eight this week.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Johnson is a top-tier TE start against a Lions defense missing key safeties.

Juwan Johnson is a strong start at tight end because the Lions' defense struggles against the position when their starting safeties, Brian Branch and Kirby Joseph, are absent. The source ranks him as a top-seven tight end for the week.
