New Orleans Saints tight end led the team in receptions and yards for the second week in a row in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He finished the day with six catches for 80 yards, beating the season-high he set just last week. With Chris Olave (concussion) sidelined for the season finale, rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler looked to his tight ends often. Of Rattler's 240 passing yards on the day, 122 went to the trio of Johnson, Foster Moreau (knee), and Dallin Holker. Despite the multiple injuries that drained the Saints of their biggest playmakers, little was asked of Johnson to pick up the slack until the last two games of the season. Still, he will finish 2024 with career highs in receptions (50) and receiving yards (548). The 28-year-old converted wide receiver is set to become a free agent in the coming offseason.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown enjoyed one of the best games of his career during their victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round. Brown brought in all five of his targets for 89 yards and a score. Brown's 89 yards were tied for the most on the team, alongside Terry McLaurin. His five targets and receptions were both the second-most on the team. Brown found the back of the end zone on a ten-yard pass from Jayden Daniels in the second quarter. This was Brown's most productive outing of the season and second-highest yardage total of his career, only below the 108 yards he tallied during Week 5 of the 2022 NFL Season. Brown should once again carry sneaky flex appeal in DFS formats, facing a struggling Detroit secondary next weekend.
