Who Should I Start? Theo Johnson or Elijah Arroyo

Friday, December 12, 8:41 PM

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson (toe) has sidestepped the final Week 15 injury report and will play on Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Coming out of the bye week, Johnson was limited on Wednesday and Thursday due to a toe injury, but his ability to practice in full on Friday has cleared him to play this weekend. The 24-year-old should be considered a low-end TE1 for fantasy purposes after seeing a season-high eight targets before the Week 14 bye in the Monday night loss to the New England Patriots in rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart's first game back from a concussion. Dart gives the entire Giants offense more upside, including Johnson, especially in a matchup against a Washington defense that allows a league-high 8.7 yards per pass attempt. Johnson has had double-digit half-PPR points four times this year and has found the end zone three times.

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo (knee) has been ruled out for the upcoming Week 15 matchup versus the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Arroyo suffered a knee injury during last week's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Mike Macdonald has been referring to Arroyo as week-to-week, which doesn't bode well for his chances of returning anytime soon. In his absence, AJ Barner will have more opportunities to do damage in the passing game against a banged-up Colts team. Barner will be a more intriguing TE2 streamer in fantasy football with an expanded role this weekend. He's worth snagging off the waiver wire for fantasy managers seeking help at tight end in Week 15.
