Theo Johnson a Dynasty Faller After Busy Giants Offseason

Sunday, April 26, 1:01 PM

As a second-year player in 2025, New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson trailed only Wan'Dale Robinson in team targets and receptions, but even with Robinson departing in free agency, dynasty managers may have already seen Johnson's ceiling. Tight end Isaiah Likely was one of the team's first free agent acquisitions, reuniting him with new Giants head coach John Harbaugh. Darnell Mooney, who saw 100 targets as recently as 2024, was brought in as the most direct replacement to Robinson, and New York spent a third-round pick on Notre Dame wide receiver Malachi Fields to further bolster the room. The biggest barrier to volume for Johnson and all other Giants pass catchers, though, is the expected return to health of Malik Nabers, who tore his ACL only four weeks into the 2025 season. Nabers set an NFL rookie record with 170 targets in 2024, while his 109 receptions broke a team record, and with him back in the lineup, the quintet of Johnson, Likely, Mooney, Fields, and Darius Slayton could legitimately be working with less than 70% of Jaxson Dart's available targets.

Mason Taylor Falls a Rung Down the Depth Chart

Saturday, April 25, 7:27 AM

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor saw his fantasy value take a hit on Thursday night. The Jets used one of their three first-round picks on Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq, an athletic pass-catcher who was regarded as the top draft prospect at his position. Sadiq had 51 catches, 560 yards, and eight touchdowns just last year at Oregon, and he should slot in as the Jets' No. 1 tight end immediately. That pushes Taylor down to No. 2, just 12 months after the Jets spent a second-round pick on him. It's tough news for dynasty managers, as it had seemed like Taylor was trending up following his 44 catches, 369 yards, and one touchdown as a rookie last year. Instead, the 21-year-old LSU product will fall to second on the depth chart, taking him off the fantasy radar in most leagues as long as Sadiq is healthy.
