Giants' Theo Johnson: Blanked on two Week 16 targets
Theo Johnson didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.Johnson was a non-factor as Jaxson Dart threw for just 33 yards. Prior to Sunday's goose egg, Johnson had caught at least three passes in eight consecutive games. Johnson will likely be more involved if the New York Giants turn to a more balanced approach in Week 17 against the Raiders after this run-heavy loss.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Another limited practice
Theo Johnson (toe) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.This marks Johnson's second capped session to begin Week 15 prep due to a toe injury, giving him just one more opportunity to get back to full Friday, or else he'll be at risk of heading into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders. With rookie QB Jaxson Dart back under center in the Giants' last game Week 13 at New England, Johnson hauled in three of eight targets for 29 yards, which was his seventh outing in 13 appearances this season with fewer than 30 receiving yards.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Dealing with toe injury
Theo Johnson was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a toe injury, Matt Citak of the New York Giants' official site reports.In the wake of the Giants' Week 14 bye, Johnson now is dealing with a health concern that may stem back to the team's last game Dec. 1 at New England. In any case, he'll have two more opportunities to get back to full this week before New York potentially tags him with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Commanders.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Matches previous high in targets
Theo Johnson had three receptions (on eight targets) for 29 yards in Monday's 33-15 loss to the Patriots.Johnson matched his previous single-game high in targets (eight) set back in Week 10 against the Bears, but the large volume didn't translate into proportional production this time around. The 24-year-old was New York's fourth-leading receiver despite tying Wan'Dale Robinson for the most looks from Jaxson Dart on Monday Night Football. Johnson has still been a pleasant surprise in fantasy this season by generating a 42-456-5 receiving line across 13 games while catching passes from three different quarterbacks. The Penn State product has carved out a significant role on offense and should maintain steady value when the New York Giants return from the upcoming bye week to host the Commanders in Week 15.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Career-high 77 yards in OT loss
Theo Johnson caught three of five targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 34-27 overtime loss to the Lions.Just over half of Johnson's yards came on a 39-yard catch in the fourth quarter. The 2024 fourth-round pick established a new single-game career high for receiving yards, topping his Week 10 total of 75 against the Bears by two yards. Johnson has emerged as a consistent receiving option heading into a Week 13 trip to New England, regardless of whether the New York Giants start Jameis Winston for a third consecutive game or get rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) back.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Modest results with Winston at QB
Theo Johnson corralled three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's Week 11 loss to Green Bay.Johnson set career-high marks with seven catches for 75 yards the previous Sunday against Chicago, but he went back to something close to his usual level of production versus the Packers. That may have had something to do with a change at QB -- Jaxson Dart (concussion) didn't play, and the New York Giants elected to go with Jameis Winston rather than Russell Wilson behind center. Johnson's stat line Sunday was slightly better than his averages of 2.9 receptions for 26.6 yards over the first nine games of the campaign, and he seems to have built a decent weekly floor with at least three catches in seven of his past eight contests. Should Dart be able to return to action against Detroit on Sunday, Johnson's outlook would likely bump up a bit.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Sets career highs in catches, yards
Theo Johnson caught seven of eight targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bears.Johnson set career highs in targets, catches and receiving yards. He has built nice chemistry with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, but Dart exited in the second half due to a concussion. It may be more difficult for Johnson to build on this strong outing if he's catching passes from backup quarterback Russell Wilson in Week 11 against the Packers.

Giants' Theo Johnson: No restrictions Thursday
Theo Johnson (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Johnson had his practice reps capped Wednesday while he was nursing the shoulder issue coming out of the Giants' Week 9 loss to the 49ers, but the injury doesn't look as though it will be anything that prevents him from playing this Sunday in Chicago. The second-year tight end has settled into an elevated role in the New York passing attack in recent weeks, playing at least 80 percent of the snaps in each of the last five games while accruing a 17-173-4 receiving line on 28 targets over that stretch.
