Giants' Theo Johnson: Cleared for Sunday
Theo Johnson (knee/back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Carolina, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.Johnson was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday but should be fine for his normal workload as the starting tight end this Sunday in Munich. He had a career-high six targets and 51 receiving yards in last week's 27-22 loss to Washington, scoring his first career touchdown in the process.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Another limited showing
Theo Johnson (knee/back) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Johnson is operating with a cap on his practice reps this week due to knee and back injuries. He thus has just one more chance to prove his health Friday before the Giants potentially hand him a designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Panthers in Germany. Chris Manhertz (two targets this season) and Daniel Bellinger (three) are the other tight ends on New York's active roster.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Tending to pair of injuries
Theo Johnson was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to knee and back injuries, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.The rookie fourth-round pick has been rounding into form over the last five games, tallying at least 30 receiving yards on four occasions on his way to a cumulative 14-164-1 line on 18 targets during that span. With a pair of health concerns now in tow, his status will be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday versus the Panthers in Munich.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Scores first NFL touchdown
Theo Johnson caught three of six targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 9 loss to Washington.Johnson finished second on New York in both targets (six) and receiving yards (51), and each mark was a new career high. The rookie also notched his first NFL touchdown in the defeat, catching a 35-yard pass down the seam with under three minutes remaining in the game. Johnson's production has been on the upswing -- after tallying just three catches over his first four contests, he's recorded at least three catches in four of his subsequent five games. Johnson did fail to reel in multiple catchable passes Sunday, but he's showing enough promise to take a stronghold on the No. 1 tight end role for the 2-7 New York Giants.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Draws four targets in Week 8
Theo Johnson secured three of four targets for 35 yards in Monday's loss to the Steelers.Johnson didn't have a pass thrown his way in Week 7 versus Philadelphia, but he got back on track with his second-highest yardage total of the season on Monday Night Football. The bulk of his production came on New York's final drive, as he caught a 25-yard pass from Daniel Jones with just over a minute remaining in the game, then nabbed a three-yard reception on the next play. Those catches came as the New York Giants attempted to march down the field and tie the score, but a Jones interception squelched any hope of a comeback. Johnson ended up logging a season-high 97 percent of the team's offensive snaps in the loss, and with at least three catches and at least 30 receiving yards in three of his past four games, he's built some fantasy intrigue in deeper leagues.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Absent from passing game Week 7
Theo Johnson was not targeted in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia.The New York Giants' passing game was abhorrent as a whole Sunday, as Daniel Jones and Drew Lock combined for just 105 yards while completing a collective 17 of 29 attempts. Daniel Bellinger was the only one of the team's tight ends to even see a target, and he received just one look, which he caught for 11 yards. There's no reason to believe that Bellinger has usurped Johnson on the depth chart since the latter logged 90 percent of New York's offensive snaps in the ugly loss to Bellinger's 12 percent, so Johnson should have an opportunity to bounce back Week 8 against Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Efficient with three targets
Theo Johnson brought in all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Bengals.Johnson followed up his career day last week with a solid effort against the Bengals on Sunday Night Football. The New York Giants' rookie tight end had been used sparsely early in the season, but the fourth-rounder is averaging four receptions and 39 yards over his last two contests. Johnson is a name worth monitoring in case his role continues to grow as the season progresses. For now, those in deeper formats can take a look at the tight end ahead of next Sunday's tilt versus the Eagles.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Records best game as pro
Theo Johnson caught all five of his targets for 48 yards in a 29-20 Week 5 win against the Seahawks on Sunday.Johnson has worked as New York's starting tight end since the beginning of the season, but through four weeks he had only three catches (on eight targets) for 37 yards. The rookie exceeded his collective Weeks 1-4 reception and yardage totals in Week 5 on Sunday, finishing third on the New York Giants in targets, catches and receiving yards. His long gain was a 22-yard catch that set New York up in the red zone on a drive that finished with a Wan'Dale Robinson touchdown reception. Johnson's quiet first four games kept him off the fantasy radar, but managers in need of a tight end may want to keep an eye on him moving forward to see if Johnson can build upon Sunday's performance and establish further rapport with QB Daniel Jones.

Giants' Theo Johnson: One catch in Week 4
Theo Johnson caught his only target for six yards in Thursday's 20-15 loss to Dallas.Johnson was once again unable to make his mark on offense with New York, securing just one catch for the third time in four games. The tight end played a season-low 71 percent of the offensive snaps as Chris Manhertz and Daniel Bellinger also logged snaps. Johnson has compiled three catches for 37 yards on eight targets over four contests in 2024, remaining an unappealing fantasy option in Brian Daboll's offense.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Quiet in Week 3 win
Theo Johnson caught one of three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 21-15 victory versus the Browns.Johnson had an opportunity for a bigger stat line, but QB Daniel Jones overthrew him after the tight end got open in the end zone late in the first half. Though Johnson's production in the win was minimal, he did continue to dominate TE reps for New York, logging 81 percent of the team's offensive snaps to Chris Manhertz's 38 percent and Daniel Bellinger's 36 percent. None among the tight-end group is particularly appealing in fantasy with Jones distributing the heavy majority of his passes this season to receivers Malik Nabers (37 targets) and Wan'Dale Robinson (24 targets). Johnson leads the tight-end corps with a meager seven targets through three games.
