Jakob Johnson

The Giants are signing Jakob Johnson to their active roster.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson will provide the Giants with an option at FB and TE. Based on how the Giants’ offense performed in Week 1, this could indicate a plan to focus on running the ball in Week 2.

The Giants have signed FB Jakob Johnson to their practice squad.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson was released on cut down day as the Giants trimmed the roster to 53. The veteran will provide depth at FB and TE should he be elevated on game day.

The Giants have signed free agent FB/TE Jakob Johnson.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson will provide the Giants with a versatile player that can play both fullback and tight end. He will likely see the bulk of his work as a blocker after recording just one reception last season with the Raiders.

Jakob Johnson was waived by the Raiders on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson was cut loose by the Raiders reportedly since he does not quite fit into the new offensive scheme of the team. The fifth-year pro has not been active either of the past two weeks. Johnson has seen most of his on-field work as a run blocker or special teams contributor for the Raiders this season.

The Patriots will not be tendering fullback Jakob Johnson ahead of free agency.

Fantasy Impact

Cox has played all three seasons for New England, appearing in 37 games with one touchdown. He started all games in the last two years as the primary blocker for Pats backs, which is where his fantasy relevance lies depending on what direction New England heads from here.
