New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson had a quiet game in his team's Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, recording three catches for 20 yards on four targets. Johnson has been a relatively consistent producer so far this season, recording 23 catches for 212 yards and four touchdowns on 37 targets across eight games. He's shown a nice chemistry with Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, as all four of Johnson's touchdowns have come since Dart took over as the team's starter in Week 4. However, Johnson's Week 8 dip in production coincided with the return of Giants wideout Darius Slayton, who had missed the team's previous two games with a hamstring injury. Now that Slayton is back in the lineup, it may prove difficult for Johnson to see consistent target volume. Still, Johnson has proven to be a trusted red zone option in New York. He should be added in all PPR-scoring fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams ahead of a Week 9 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray continues having minimal success in the first half of the season. On Monday, Gray hauled in two of his four targets for 23 yards in the win over the Washington Commanders. The four targets was actually the highest volume Gray has seen since Week 3. The 26-year-old is playing over 50 percent of the offensive snaps, but the Chiefs just aren't targeting him in the passing game. He remains the backup to Travis Kelce and that isn't going to change. Gray isn't going to be relevant in fantasy formats while Kelce is healthy.
Still trying to decide between Johnson and Gray? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Theo Johnson is projected to score 7.9 points this week while Noah Gray is projected to score 2.1 points.
