Theo Johnson Heavily Phased Out of Giants' Offense

Friday, September 25, 8:45 PM

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson's volume has taken a massive hit this season. After finishing as the TE18 with 74 targets and 48 catches in his second pro season last year, Johnson has just five targets, one reception, and nine yards in 2026. We knew his role was going to be threatened by the signing of Isaiah Likely, but nobody predicted a downfall this drastic. Johnson has played 46% and 28% of the snaps in his first two games this year, respectively. He did command four targets in Week 2 with Jameis Winston at quarterback, but he didn't catch any of those passes. Johnson could get back onto the fantasy radar if Likely misses any time, but for now, Likely is healthy and Johnson can be left on waivers in almost all leagues.

Harold Fannin Jr. News

Harold Fannin Jr. Turns in a Second Consecutive Bust Performance

Sunday, October 18, 6:48 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. caught one of his three targets for nine receiving yards during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Cleveland pulled off an upset win at home on Sunday, and while Fannin handled a very large snap share, his target volume wasn't quite as significant. The second-year tight end finished Week 6 with an 88.9% snap share, as opposed to a mere 10% target share. He has now been held to just one catch in back-to-back games, which doesn't inspire a ton of confidence for fantasy managers heading into Week 7. Time and time again, we've seen Fannin show that he has TE1-caliber talent, but we wouldn't blame managers who consider benching him next week despite a favorable matchup against the 1-5 Tennessee Titans.
