Theo Johnson Facing Increased Competition in New York

Sunday, March 15, 12:17 PM

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson finds himself in a more crowded position group all of a sudden. The Giants underwent a major coaching staff shakeup this offseason, and new head coach John Harbaugh brought in plenty of his guys, including tight end Isaiah Likely. It's unclear whether Likely or Johnson will be the true No. 1 in New York, but either way, the addition of the former will have major implications on the latter. It's unfortunate, too, given that Johnson was just starting to trend up. He had 45 catches, 528 yards, and five touchdowns in 2025, ranking as the overall TE18 in full-PPR leagues. It's hard to envision him eclipsing those marks next year if Likely is heavily involved, just like he was in Baltimore. The biggest saving grace for Johnson is that the Giants lost Wan'Dale Robinson this offseason, leaving plenty of vacated targets to go around. He also has an existing rapport with quarterback Jaxson Dart, and Likely can't say the same. We expect Johnson to remain a low-end TE2 option in 2026, but his value certainly isn't going up in dynasty leagues.

Terrance Ferguson Won't Have Clear Path to Expanded Role

Saturday, March 7, 5:41 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson was selected with the 46th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft out of Oregon. In his first NFL season, the 23-year-old only caught 11 passes on 25 targets for 231 yards and three touchdowns in 14 regular-season games (three starts) while serving primarily as the TE3 behind Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson. He did finish off the regular season last year with five catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns on eight targets in the last two games of the regular season, but he caught just one pass for 19 yards in two playoff games to end his first year in the NFL. The Rams recently re-signed Tyler Higbee for another season, so Ferguson's path to fantasy relevance will be difficult as he enters his sophomore season in L.A. Ferguson isn't a bad dynasty stash, but in redraft leagues this fall, he'll be avoidable.
