Who Should I Start? Juwan Johnson or Tre' McKitty

The New Orleans Saints have been rocked by injuries over the last several weeks. Wide receivers Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee), and Bub Means (ankle) are all on injured reserve, and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder) has missed two of the team's last three games and has a questionable tag for Sunday. With so many pass catchers ailing, one would expect that it would provide others ample opportunity for a bump in production. Unfortunately, that has not been the case for tight end Juwan Johnson. Over the last three weeks he has seven catches for 111 yards on nine targets. His last trip to the end zone came in Week 1 and his odds to change that against the Browns on Sunday are slim. In 2024, Cleveland has allowed just one touchdown to opposing tight ends and the third-fewest receptions to the position. Johnson can stay on the wire in Week 11.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Tre' McKitty has been waived by the team on Tuesday. The Chargers drafted McKitty in the third round of the 2021 draft out of Georgia but he was never able to make much of an impact in Los Angeles. He is young enough and has the draft pedigree to latch on somewhere else, so all is not lost for the third-year tight end. It will continue to be Gerald Everett (hip) and Donald Parham Jr. operating as the main tight ends for the Chargers.
