Saints TE Juwan Johnson led the team with eight catches and 76 yards in the Week 1 loss to the Cardinals. His 11 targets ranked second behind only WR Chris Olave’s 13 and were a 23.9% share.

On top of the nice receiving line and target volume, Johnson ran a route on 96% of Saints pass plays.
Those are elite usage metrics. Last year ...
- Only four TEs topped a 23.9% target share
- No TEs reached a 96% route rate
New Orleans' offense struggled as expected in Week 1, lowering Johnson's ceiling. But if his role stays anywhere near these Week 1 levels, he'll have a legitimate chance at a top-12 fantasy finish.
Johnson is well worth a waiver claim this week for fantasy teams looking for TE help.
