Who Should I Start? Juwan Johnson or Brenton Strange

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson bounced back in Week 7 against the Bears, catching five passes for 79 yards on seven targets. His receptions and targets were his most since Week 3 against the Seahawks. Johnson's drop-off in opportunities has coincided with Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau returning to the rotation, and that trend is likely to continue moving forward. Johnson dealt with a neck injury in practice this week, but is healthy and ready to go for Week 8 against the Buccaneers. He remains a touchdown-dependent, boom-or-bust fantasy option in the divisional matchup.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange (hip, quadriceps), who leads the team in catches through five weeks, is dealing with a hip and quad injury that includes a ligament tear, sources tell Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Strange suffered the injury in the Monday night win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Schultz said it's his understanding that Strange doesn't need surgery, but he will be out at least five weeks. It could have been worse, but Jacksonville is going to be without its top TE for a while. The 24-year-old was placed on Injured Reserve earlier this week, which means he'll be out at least four games. Strange was having a nice start to the year before his injury, catching 20 passes for 204 yards, although he hadn't found the end zone. In his absence, the Jags will look to both Hunter Long and Johnny Mundt for production at the TE position. Fantasy managers should be able to find better TE2 streamers elsewhere.
