New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (neck) is dealing with a neck injury and was listed as limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Johnson apparently tweaked his neck in last Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Chicago Bears after catching five of his seven targets for 79 yards while playing 71% of the offensive snaps. The 29-year-old didn't show any sign of injury during the Week 7 contest, and the fact that he was limited on Wednesday should mean that he'll be able to play in Week 8 against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was nice to see Johnson produce last week after he had a combined seven catches on nine targets for only 60 yards and no touchdowns in the three previous games in Weeks 4-6. The Saints are likely to be in positive game script more often than not, but Johnson profiles as a boom/bust, touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy now that Taysom Hill is back in the fold.

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble hasn't done much for fantasy managers this season. While he had five catches (eight targets) for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Week 4 loss to the New England Patriots, he has been nearly irrelevant from a production standpoint. Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) is listed as questionable heading into the Week 6 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys, so there's a chance he won't be out there once again. Sure, the potential for added involvement should increase Tremble's fantasy potential. Still, even if Sanders remains sidelined, fantasy managers will be taking a gamble by rolling with the 25-year-old as their starting tight end for the favorable matchup with the Cowboys. especially with Xavier Legette in the mix.
