Trends


"Johnson returns for his sixth season in New Orleans after a solid 2024 showing in which he set career highs in catches and yardage while appearing in every regular-season game for the first time in his career. The converted wide receiver has finished between 18th and 26th in fantasy PPG each of the past three seasons, though it's notable that he saw a boost in usage and production following Taysom Hill's injury late last season (12-plus points in three of his final five games). Hill is a long shot to play in 2025, though the team will be in better shape at wide receiver with a healthy Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, as well as newcomer Brandin Cooks. Playing with rookie QB Tyler Shough, Johnson, 28, is no more than a fringe TE2."


"The initial report suggests the deal maxes out at $34.5 million and includes $21.25 million guaranteed. It looks like an overpay relative to other tight ends with similar receiving production, especially when considering how little Johnson offers as a blocker. A weak free-agent class may have been a factor, as Johnson would've been one of the better options amongst a weak crop if the Saints hadn't locked him up before he hit the open market. The 28-year-old averaged 2.6-2.8 receptions and 28-33 receiving yards per game each of the past three seasons, buoyed by strong finishes in 2023 and 2024 after not doing much for most of the year."
