Trends

"Johnson is entering his second NFL season after playing a hefty 84% of the Giants' offensive snaps as a rookie. The fourth-round pick didn't see much work in the passing game early on and missed the final five games due to injury, but he was picking up steam prior to going down. After totaling a 14-150-0 receiving line on 20 targets (7% share) during his first eight games, Johnson leapt to a 15-181-1 line on 23 targets (19%) in the final four outings. The fantasy output wasn't great in the Giants' punchless offense, but the increase in reliance is notable and it will only help having Russell Wilson under center. The 24-year-old Johnson is a fine sleeper target in the late rounds."

"New York officially kicked off OTAs on Tuesday, but reporters were not allowed in attendance until Wednesday's session, in which Paul Schwartz of the New York Post spotted the second-year tight end taking part in drills without any apparent issues. A 2024 fourth-round pick, Johnson quickly emerged as the Giants' top tight end in his rookie campaign following the offseason retirement of Darren Waller. He logged 29 catches for 331 yards and one score (43 targets) across 12 regular-season appearances before a Lisfranc injury forced him to undergo surgery and spend the final five games on IR. Now healthy, Johnson will work with new quarterbacks Wilson, Jameis Winston and Jaxson Dart to attempt to solidify himself as a reliable receiving option behind top wideout Malik Nabers (toe)."
