Juwan Johnson

Johnson functioned as a small-time contributor in this one, though he made a nifty play against Panthers CB Mike Jackson. Johnson made a play on the ball on the Saints' third drive, allowing Jackson to lay a hard hit on him mid-catch. Johnson still managed to extend his left hand, tipping the pass to himself and securing the six-yard gain despite the hard hit at the Panthers' six-yard line. He is a TE2 against the Jets next week.

Johnson caught all four of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Panthers.

This is Johnson's standard statline of late, but it was more impressive today with Tyler Shough attempting only 20 passes in rainy Tampa conditions. Johnson is typically going to see at least 6-7 looks. We would expect him closer to that norm for Week 15 against the Panthers back on the Superdome's fast track. Even with bye weeks over, Johnson will maintain low-end TE1 appeal.

Johnson secured all four targets for 38 yards in the Saints' 24-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

It was business as usual for Johnson, who has at least four catches in three-of-four Tyler Shough starts. He scored in Shough's first two starts but has since run dry in that department. That is to be expected with Shough taking his lumps on a week-to-week basis. Johnson led the Saints in targets this week, though Devaughn Vele paced the team in catches and yards. Johnson will remain a low-end TE1 for his Week 14 matchup with the Bucs.
