Who Should I Start? Van Jefferson or Juwan Johnson

Saturday, August 23, 10:31 AM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson recorded 102 yards and a touchdown on three catches in his team's 23-13 preseason victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Friday. Jefferson scored a 65-yard touchdown on a long catch-and-run in the second quarter. The 29-year-old is entering his first season in Tennessee after logging 24 catches for 276 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024. Jefferson projects to open the season as the WR3 in Tennessee alongside veterans Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett. However, he may struggle to hold off the team's pair of fourth-round rookie wide receivers, Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike. Jefferson should be off the radar of fantasy managers in 2025.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has established himself as a favorite target of Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler early in the 2025 season. Through two games, Johnson has been targeted 20 times, hauling in 13 receptions for 125 yards and one touchdown. The 29-year-old has been on the field for New Orleans a ton, which is a trend that should continue in the short term with Saints tight ends Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) both sidelined through at least Week 4. Furthermore, New Orleans has been one of the league's most pass-happy teams so far, ranking fourth in the NFL with 80 total pass attempts. Where available, Johnson should be added in all fantasy leagues of 10 or more teams.
