TE Theo Johnson, NYG (2 Viewers)

[Largent]

Theo makes more sense to me than Waller. Both losing starting WR's - you can argue but Malik a WAY bigger piece of the offense than Hill. Dart will lean more on the TE as a rookie passer than Tua - who still has Waddle.

Theo Johnson caught 6-of-7 targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 5 loss to the Saints.

Johnson figured to step into a larger role without Malik Nabers (knee) and certainly did that, catching touchdowns on both of the Giants’ first two drives of the game. Even if fellow tight end Daniel Bellinger was more involved in the offense early on, Johnson was clearly Jaxson Dart’s top target when the Giants got into the red zone. Johnson was also peppered with targets late in the game in garbage time. Since the Giants figure to be in garbage time often, Johnson is a solid TE2 option the rest of the way.

Someone had to step up with Nabers out for the year.

I thought going into this past week he was more of a shark move than Slayton. I posted that in the comments on several podcasts. The problem is, is he just a red zone guy? I think he has the potential for so much more.

Got him on a few TEP teams with Waller and Mason Taylor.

Feel like I went from TE broke to rich in a hurry.

I expect his role to keep growing, but 7 targets overall is pretty big.

I have high hopes for him the remainder of the year. More so than I do any of his WRs since Nabers went down.

Same here .. Also helps that Theo’s one of his best friends on the team. Maybe, we can get the TEMU version of Mahomes to Kelce ..

if the Giants aren't running in the redzone, they're targeting Theo Johnson

he's tied for 5th in the league on targets inside the 10 and 4th inside the 20
