Juwan Johnson Primed for Early-Season Target Volume in New Orleans

Wednesday, September 9, 12:47 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson put together the most productive season of his career in 2025, recording 77 catches for 889 yards and three touchdowns on 102 targets across 17 games. Alongside star Saints wideout Chris Olave, Johnson spent much of the year as the clear second option in the New Orleans passing game. With Saints rookie first-round wideout Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) on Injured Reserve to begin the year, Johnson appears to be in a similar situation in New Orleans to open 2026. Across his final 11 games of 2025, Johnson topped double-digit PPR fantasy points seven times. For as long as Tyson remains sidelined, Johnson carries top-12 fantasy tight end upside and should likely be rostered across most league formats.

Dalton Kincaid Could Become a League-Winner With More Snaps

Wednesday, September 9, 11:36 AM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid might finally get the playing time fantasy managers have been waiting for. Kincaid caught 39 passes for 571 yards and five touchdowns in only 12 games last season despite spending much of the year in a part-time role. His efficiency was among the best at the position whenever he actually ran routes. Now there is belief around Buffalo that Kincaid could push into the 60% to 65% snap range after going through his healthiest training camp in years. He looked the part this summer too, repeatedly finding the end zone with Josh Allen and earning praise for both his receiving work and improvement as a blocker. Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes are still involved, so the increased workload isn't guaranteed. That's really the only thing holding this back. Kincaid has already shown what he can do with limited opportunities. If Buffalo finally keeps him on the field consistently, he has the kind of ceiling that can swing fantasy leagues at tight end.
