Who Should I Start? Juwan Johnson or Elijah Arroyo

Saturday, December 6, 12:49 AM

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson brought in five of nine targets for 39 yards in the Week 13 loss to the Dolphins. The nine targets were a team-high and his most since Week 2. He will look to build on this momentum in a matchup against the Buccaneers, where he had five receptions for 53 yards earlier in the season. The Saints will be shorthanded for the contest, with running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) ruled out and receiver Chris Olave (back) questionable to play. Through four games with Tyler Shough under center, Johnson has recorded an 18-202-2 stat line. Even if Olave suits up, Johnson will operate as a TE1 in what should be a pass-heavy offense against a Buccaneers team allowing 247.5 passing yards per game.

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo (knee) has been ruled out for the upcoming Week 15 matchup versus the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Arroyo suffered a knee injury during last week's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Mike Macdonald has been referring to Arroyo as week-to-week, which doesn't bode well for his chances of returning anytime soon. In his absence, AJ Barner will have more opportunities to do damage in the passing game against a banged-up Colts team. Barner will be a more intriguing TE2 streamer in fantasy football with an expanded role this weekend. He's worth snagging off the waiver wire for fantasy managers seeking help at tight end in Week 15.
