News: 3 days agoJohnson caught eight of nine targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 29-6 win over the Jets.

Spin: Johnson tied his season high for receptions and came three receiving yards shy of his season high as Tyler Shough threw for a career-high 308 yards. This was the sixth consecutive game with at least four receptions for Johnson, who has emerged as a steady contributor in a Saints passing game that lacks appealing healthy alternatives behind Chris Olave. Johnson will look to keep building momentum in Week 17 against the Titans.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Johnson returns for his sixth season in New Orleans after a solid 2024 showing in which he set career highs in catches and yardage while appearing in every regular-season game for the first time in his career. The converted wide receiver has finished between 18th and 26th in fantasy PPG each of the past three seasons, though it's notable that he saw a boost in usage and production following Taysom Hill's injury late last season (12-plus points in three of his final five games). Hill is a long shot to play in 2025, though the team will be in better shape at wide receiver with a healthy Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, as well as newcomer Brandin Cooks. Playing with rookie QB Tyler Shough and/or Spencer Rattler, Johnson, 28, is no more than a fringe TE2.
