Juwan Johnson caught 5-of-9 targets for 39 yards in the Saints' Week 13 loss to the Dolphins.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.
Juwan Johnson: Tallies nine targets versus MiamiJohnson logged five receptions (on nine targets) for 39 yards during Sunday's 21-17 defeat to the Dolphins.
Chis Olave (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice.A limited session to open the week is nothing new for Olave. The bigger concern is that he left practice earlier, meaning he suffered the injury during today's session. It could have been a precautionary measure from the Saints, but there is at least a chance this issue will force him to miss time. Devaughn Vele is the next man up for the Saints. Tight end Juwan Johnson would also see more work if Olave misses any time.
Juwan Johnson caught 6-of-7 targets for 46 yards in the Saints' Week 12 loss to the Falcons.Johnson operated as the Saints' No. 2 pass-catcher, tying Devin Neal and Devaughn Vele for second in targets on the day. He drew a key defensive pass interference in the third quarter to help get the Saints in the red zone on a drive that eventually stalled out. Otherwise, it was a lot of underneath targets from Tyler Shough as the Falcons defense prevented deeper looks. Johnson has fantasy relevance as the secondary target in the offense, though lack of scoring consistency keeps him in the high-end TE2 range for Week 13 against the Dolphins.
