Juwan Johnson NOS TE
Derek Carr's top targets last week.... Johnson (7), T Hill (7), Kamara (6), Moreau (4), MVS (3), etc.
- 3 of the top 4 targets are TE's.
- Over 50% of the total targets were to the TE position (18 of 34).
- Hill is gone.
Other than the occasional throw deep to MVS, Carr is basically ignoring the WR position altogether. Johnson and Kamara are going to be the receivers that move the chains going forward. Johnson is "Q" this week, so beware. But, in Weeks 16 and 17, he faces GB and LVR.... both top 10 (Raiders top 5) in fantasy points allowed to TE's.
Not going to call him a "league winner" or anything, but if you need help at TE (or even a flex in deeper leagues), you could do worse than picking up Juwan Johnson.
Edit: If Johnson turns out to be inactive this week, I would say the same about Moreau for this week. Of course, he's "Q" as well. Bottom line... Whoever the Saints play at TE this week may be in line for a decent amount of looks in the passing game.
