Juwan Johnson Week 2 Outlook - Saints at Cowboys

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 12th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Last week, Johnson got into the end zone and finished as the TE5 in fantasy points per game, but he will not be startable until his usage increases. While he drew a red zone target and successfully converted it last week, the rest of his profile is lacking. Johnson had only a 42.3% route run rate, a 12.5% target share (three targets), and an 11.1% first-read share. None of these usage or market share metrics scream, "I MUST START Juwan Johnson!." Considering the state of the tight end position after one week of NFL action, he's fine to hold on a roster if you have the space, but if you need it for a sexy waiver wire add, I don't mind cutting him from your squad.
