Juwan Johnson News
Sunday, August 23, 11:40 AM
New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson hasn't given up much ground after last year's breakout. He caught 77 passes for 889 yards and three touchdowns on 102 targets, finishing third among NFL tight ends in receiving yards. New Orleans added Noah Fant, drafted Oscar Delp in the third round and spent the eighth overall pick on Jordyn Tyson, so there was plenty of reason to wonder whether Johnson's volume would take a hit. So far, he's still on top of the tight end depth chart. Johnson has made plays throughout camp, including a fourth-and-1 touchdown from Tyler Shough on August 11 with Kool-Aid McKinstry all over him. The Saints called it one of the best plays of camp. Fant and Delp make another 102 targets tougher to count on, and Tyson adds another talented receiver to the offense. Johnson's role hasn't disappeared, though. RotoBaller has him at TE15 and 131st overall in PPR. After the additions New Orleans made this offseason, holding onto the lead job and continuing to produce in camp has his redraft outlook moving the right way.

Kenyon Sadiq News
Tuesday, August 25, 11:53 AM
Because of all the time New York Jets rookie first-round tight end Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) has missed this summer after having hernia surgery, offensive coordinator Frank Reich admitted that the team will scale back the rookie's workload early on in 2026, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. "There's no doubt we'll scale it back. We'll have to work him in slowly," Reich said. The 16th overall pick from Oregon had surgery to fix a hernia in the spring and then suffered a setback that has not allowed him to join the mix in team drills during training camp. Fantasy managers who were expecting Sadiq to be fantasy relevant from Day 1 in redraft leagues this year might want to rethink their position. It is good news for second-year TE Mason Taylor, who should be the Jets' top pass-catching option at the position until Sadiq gets his legs under him and is trusted on offense more. Sadiq's athleticism and pass-catching abilities down the field make him extremely attractive in dynasty/keeper leagues, but fantasy managers who have him rostered may want to temper expectations, at least early on. RotoBaller has Sadiq ranked as the No. 27 fantasy TE for the upcoming season.
