• Saints' Juwan Johnson: Another limited showing

  23H ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson (foot) was limited at Thursday's practice. For a second week in a row, the Saints are placing a cap on Johnson's reps due to a foot issue. Despite being limited all of last week, though, he entered the weekend without a designation for this past Sunday's game at the Giants, when both he and Foster Moreau played 49 of 68 offensive snaps. Johnson was the more productive of the duo in the team's first contest without Taysom Hill (torn ACL): Johnson had a 4-50-1 line on five targets, while Moreau went for 2-40-0 on two targets. Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not Johnson has a designation ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Commanders.

• Saints' Juwan Johnson: Still dealing with foot issue

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday due to a foot injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. With Taysom Hill out for the season due to a torn ACL, Johnson and Foster Moreau handled the reps at tight end in this past Sunday's win over the Giants, with both players playing 49 of 68 offensive snaps. Both got in the act as pass catchers, with Johnson hauling in four of five targets for 50 yards and one touchdown and Moreau reeling in both targets for 40 yards. Johnson also tended to a foot injury last week, so there's a decent chance he's cleared for this coming Sunday's contest against the Commanders by week's end even if he remains limited in the Saints' final two practices of the week.

• Saints' Juwan Johnson: Week 15 Waiver Priority List

  3D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  It's not ideal that Johnson doesn't have Derek Carr (hand) in Week 15 and potentially the remainder of the season, but the Saints need playmakers in the passing game, which should help Johnson's outlook. He has 15 targets in his past two games, and he finished those outings with nine catches for 86 yards and a touchdown. He also has two touchdowns in his past three games and has scored at least 12.0 PPR points in those contests when he's found the end zone. He has a favorable schedule to close the season against Washington, Green Bay, and Las Vegas in his next three games, and hopefully, either Jake Haener or Spencer Rattler can make Johnson into a low-end starting Fantasy tight end in all leagues.

• Saints' Juwan Johnson: Hauls in TD in win

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson caught four of five targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants. The tight end was on the other end of Derek Carr's only TD pass of the day, hauling in an 11-yard strike late in the third quarter. It was Johnson's third touchdown of the season and second in the last three games, and the 50 yards was a season high for him. Carr left the game late in the fourth quarter to be checked out for a concussion and a hand injury, and if he is forced to sit out a Week 15 clash with the Commanders, Johnson could be leaned on more heavily as a security blanket by Jake Haener or Spencer Rattler.

• Saints' Juwan Johnson: All clear for Week 14

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson (foot) was limited in Friday's practice but does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Johnson and Foster Moreau (shoulder) both will be available for Sunday's road matchup against New York, though both have had caps on their practice reps leading up to Week 14 action. With Taysom Hill (knee) out for the season due to an ACL tear, Johnson and Moreau appear in line to split tight end reps for the Saints, roles that figure to provide both members of the duo with increased fantasy upside.
