Juwan Johnson Off to Hot Start, Set for Consistent Target Share in New Orleans?

Tuesday, September 16, 11:44 AM

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has established himself as a favorite target of Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler early in the 2025 season. Through two games, Johnson has been targeted 20 times, hauling in 13 receptions for 125 yards and one touchdown. The 29-year-old has been on the field for New Orleans a ton, which is a trend that should continue in the short term with Saints tight ends Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) both sidelined through at least Week 4. Furthermore, New Orleans has been one of the league's most pass-happy teams so far, ranking fourth in the NFL with 80 total pass attempts. Where available, Johnson should be added in all fantasy leagues of 10 or more teams.

Brenton Strange Disappoints in Week 2 Loss

Monday, September 15, 12:23 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange was drawing waiver-wire consideration after catching all four of his targets for a team-high 59 yards in the Week 1 win over the Carolina Panthers. However, he took a step back in Sunday's 31-27 Week 2 loss on the road to the Cincinnati Bengals, catching three of five targets for just 17 yards. On the bright side, the 24-year-old was Jacksonville's clear TE1, playing 90 percent of the offensive snaps. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence leaned more on receivers Dyami Brown and Parker Washington in this one, but don't overlook the fact that Strange has nine targets through the first two weeks of the 2025 season. Strange will probably continue to have up-and-down weeks, but he's been on the field enough to be considered a borderline TE1/2 in fantasy as the Jags head into a Week 3 divisional matchup against the Houston Texans.
