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. Should Be Targeted Heavily In Week 10

Saturday, November 14, 5:13 AM

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. was lightly used in Week 9's loss to the New Orleans Saints, but he did find the end zone. Expect him to return to his higher usage in Week 10 against the Houston Texans at home. With Shedeur Sanders under center, Fannin Jr. was targeted just two times and caught two passes for 42 yards, but one of those catches he turned into a touchdown. The two targets were a season-low for Fannin Jr. who was coming off season-highs in targets of nine and 12 in Weeks 8 and 9 respectively. Both of those were with Deshuan Watson under center and Watson is returning to the lineup this week at starting quarterback. Watson has shown a connection with Fannin Jr. and looks for him as a dependable outlet in the passing game. Couple that with the poor Texans pass defense and this looks like a great matchup for a Fannin Jr. bounce-back. The Texans rank No. 27 in the NFL in pass defense, allowing 235.6 passing yards per game and 12 passing touchdowns allowed. Denzel Boston, Cleveland's top wide receiver, is questionable with a toe injury and should he be out, Fannin Jr. would see even more usage in the pass game. Expect Fannin Jr. to return to his solid ways and he should be counted on as a good tight end play.
