Juwan Johnson's Fantasy Value Continues to Trend Downward Against Browns

Saturday, November 7, 6:15 AM

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson recorded just one reception for seven yards on three targets in Week 7's loss to the Steelers. After averaging 5.2 receptions for 58 yards with three touchdowns through the first four weeks, Johnson has continued to trend downward, totaling just five catches for 23 yards over his last three games. His snap share has also declined, dropping to 56% in Week 7, while fellow tight ends Noah Fant and Oscar Delp played 46% and 28% of the snaps, respectively. Things may not improve much for Johnson moving forward, as rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is nearing his season debut and could further cut into his already declining target share. The Browns offer a potential get-right matchup, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Still, Johnson is a high-risk option and ranks TE22 in RotoBaller's Week 8 rankings.

Brenton Strange's Targets Dry Up Ahead of Week 10

Thursday, November 12, 6:22 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange played 44 of 56 offensive snaps against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9, but Trevor Lawrence looked his way just twice on 26 pass attempts. Four days earlier, he saw two targets on 28 snaps against the Indianapolis Colts, when Lawrence threw only 14 passes in a blowout. A 46-yard catch accounted for most of Strange's 55 yards against Indianapolis, and he finished with 22 yards on two receptions in Baltimore. Strange is a fringe starter in 12-team PPR leagues for Sunday's visit to the Tennessee Titans. Before Jacksonville's bye, Strange drew seven targets against the Houston Texans and eight apiece against the Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles. He caught 14 of 16 targets for 163 yards in those two games. All four of Strange's targets since the bye came outside the red zone. Nate Boerkircher drew three targets on 31 snaps in Baltimore and caught a 52-yard pass on Jacksonville's opening drive. Lawrence also looked for Boerkircher from the one-yard line on that drive, four days after the rookie caught a 31-yard touchdown against Indianapolis.
