Juwan Johnson News
Thursday, March 26, 6:30 AM
New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson broke through with the best year of his career in 2025, recording 77 receptions for 889 yards and three touchdowns on 102 targets across 17 games. Johnson fully emerged as the Saints' TE1, playing at least 70% of his team's offensive snaps in 14 out of 17 contests. While New Orleans added veteran tight end Noah Fant in free agency, Johnson should remain firmly atop the team's depth chart in 2026. In addition, the outlook for the Saints' pass game and offense in general is looking up after the team's strong close to the 2025 season with then-rookie quarterback Tyler Shough under center. Johnson finished second on the team in targets behind only star wideout Chris Olave in 2025, and the Saints have yet to add any significant competition for targets this offseason. Johnson's long-term fantasy upside is limited as he enters his age-30 season, but he profiles as a solid streaming option at tight end with a safe production floor.

Noah Gray News
Tuesday, March 24, 5:13 AM
Since being drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, tight end Noah Gray has been a popular dynasty stash in the hopes that he would one day assume at least part of Travis Kelce's volume-rich role in Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes' offense. With Kelce and the Chiefs agreeing to a three-year, $54.7 million extension on Monday, it would appear that Gray is entering year six in relatively charted territory. Kelce will be almost 37 years old at the start of the 2026 season, so Gray still carries some value as the rare tight end handcuff, but the future Hall of Famer has been incredibly durable throughout his career, missing only six games over his past 11 seasons despite working through a handful of injuries. Gray has 1,255 receiving yards and nine touchdowns over his five-year career, but he has not cracked lineups as a weekly TE1 since Week 15 of 2024.
