All Footballguys insights about Juwan Johnson

PositiveValueJul 7, 2026
Johnson is TE17 in ADP (11th-round price) but deserves TE14 ranking; the market is overlooking his 2025 production. He posted career-high marks in targets, catches (77), yardage (889), and fantasy points—all eighth or better among tight ends—en route to a TE8 overall finish with nine top-12 fantasy weeks (including four top-five performances and a TE1 overall Week 1). His progression from a 42-catch, 508-yard season in 2022 demonstrates sustained improvement and clear trajectory of increased usage. Tyler Shough's better-than-expected rookie year as New Orleans' QB1 cements Johnson's role as the signal-caller's preferred safety valve and longtime friend from their Oregon days; Shough targeted Johnson 102 times—more than any other player outside Chris Olave—establishing a clear target hierarchy that should persist despite new offensive weapons like first-round pick Jordyn Tyson. Johnson should remain a focal point in Kellen Moore's system and could settle as high as second in target priority, with a path to surpass 1,000 receiving yards for the first time.
