Juwan Johnson Could Have Path to TE1 Status Against Ravens

Friday, September 18, 8:55 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson had a relatively quiet game in Week 1 against the Lions, but finished strong with three receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown. His late score came with 1:07 left in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 24 and send it to overtime. Despite a slow start, Johnson out-snapped fellow tight end Noah Fant 76-37, fortifying his role as the TE1 in a pass-heavy offense. Johnson did pop up on the injury report this week and sat out practice Wednesday due to an illness, but recorded a limited session Thursday and a full practice Friday, shedding the injury tag entirely ahead of Sunday. With star receiver Chris Olave's status up in the air for Week 2's clash against the Ravens due to a hamstring injury, Johnson could see an increased target share if Olave is unable to play. Johnson ranks as a clear TE1 if Olave sits and a high-end TE2 if he plays.

Daniel Bellinger News

Daniel Bellinger Looks Like the Clear TE2 in Tennessee

Saturday, September 19, 5:38 AM

Tennessee Titans tight end Daniel Bellinger made a limited impact in his team's Week 1 loss to the New York Jets, recording one catch for seven yards on one target. After spending the first four years of his NFL career with the New York Giants, Bellinger followed former Giants head coach and current Titans play-caller to Tennessee this offseason. There was some thought over the summer that Bellinger would carve out a meaningful role in the Titans' passing game, but it was incumbent Titans tight end Gunnar Helm who recorded four catches for 28 yards on five targets in Week 1. Bellinger also played just 14 snaps, compared to 38 for Helm. Given that the questionable Tennessee passing game may have trouble supporting high-end fantasy production even for its highly featured pieces, Bellinger appears unlikely to play a fantasy-relevant role in 2026.
