Who Should I Start? Juwan Johnson or Trey McBride

Saturday, September 13, 7:24 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has been a favorite target of current Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler. Johnson was Rattler's most targeted receiver (33) in 2024, and he led New Orleans in targets (eight) in Week 1 of 2025. Per ESPN's Katherine Terrell, Rattler said that he and Johnson have a "great connection going back to last year." Johnson could be a sneaky low-end fantasy starter at tight end early in the season, particularly while Saints tight ends Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) remain sidelined.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride needs no introduction at this point. Last season, he was the second-most targeted tight end and saw the eighth most overall. In Week 1, he received another nine targets and caught six of them for 61 yards. The only area he's lacked in thus far in his career is finding the end zone. For fantasy purposes, that hasn't hindered his production, especially in PPR formats. According to RotoBaller's matchup ratings, McBride has the second-best rating against the Carolina Panthers among all tight ends. The only one above him would be Brock Bowers if he ends up playing. It should go without saying that McBride should be in all lineups.
