Johnson surged Week 1 with eight catches on 11 targets, signaling a potential high-volume role in New Orleans’ aerial attack. If the Saints lean on him again, he could emerge as a weekly streamer, especially in PPR formats, despite the offense’s mixed surrounding talent.

Top waiver-wire TE target after Week 1; TE1 in fantasy points on ESPN and Yahoo; Johnson emerges as a structural piece in the Saints’ offense behind Olave.

Johnson offers red-zone potential for New Orleans; his targets and efficiency can translate into meaningful fantasy points if the Saints sustain drives and target him in critical scoring opportunities.

Johnson remains a volatile TE option; Week 2 matchups against the 49ers could limit his upside as defenses clamp down on the Saints tight end.

Johnson led New Orleans with 8 catches on 11 targets for 76 yards in Week 1, acting as an underneath/quick-game safety valve. With high-volume passing likely, he’s a cheap TE option in deeper leagues with potential for volume again in Week 2 against San Francisco’s defense that should keep the Saints throwing.
