Saints' Juwan Johnson: Zero targets in blowout win
Johnson had zero targets during Sunday's 44-19 win versus the Cowboys.
Johnson was not listed as New Orleans' starting tight end for the second game in a row. Instead, Foster Moreau got the start once again despite coming back from a concussion sustained in last week's win over Carolina. Neither tight end logged any targets Sunday, as quarterback Derek Carr attempted just 16 passes while throwing for 243 yards and two touchdowns to one interception. Meanwhile, Taysom Hill logged one target and three carries before exiting with a chest issue that required further evaluation at a hospital postgame. Through two games, Johnson and Moreau have now logged three and four targets, respectively. While it's too soon to make any definitive projections, it appears that tight end may not be a position that's highlighted in the offense of new coordinator Klint Kubiak. It will be worth monitoring if either Johnson or Moreau see more targets during next Sunday's home game against the Eagles.
