Theo Johnson DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson (foot) underwent a season-ending surgery to address the foot injury he suffered on Thanksgiving against the Cowboys. According to Art Stapleton, the issue was a fifth metatarsal fracture and not a Lisfranc injury. This means the rookie finishes his first season with 29 receptions for 331 yards and a touchdown on 43 targets through 12 appearances. There hasn't been a confirmed timetable for his return yet. That means Daniel Bellinger will be the starter to finish out the season.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said on Wednesday that rookie tight end Theo Johnson (foot), who was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve this week, had surgery for a Lisfranc injury to his foot. Johnson was injured in last Thursday's loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving and will now look to get healthy this offseason as he heads into his sophomore season. The 23-year-old fourth-rounder finishes his first year in the NFL with 29 receptions for 331 yards and one touchdown in 12 games. Johnson was just starting to get more involved as a pass-catcher for the Giants before his injury and he's an interesting dynasty/keeper hold, although New York's situation at quarterback may hold him back in future years. For the rest of 2024, Daniel Bellinger figures to be New York's primary pass-catching TE, but he'll be a TE2, at best, in fantasy.

The New York Giants placed rookie tight end Theo Johnson (foot) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday. Johnson was injured in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys last Thursday but caught all five of his targets for a season-high 54 yards before leaving. It's a tough break for Johnson, as he was just starting to see a much bigger role in the passing game in recent weeks. The 23-year-old fourth-round selection out of Penn State will finish his first year in the NFL with 29 receptions on 43 targets for 331 yards and a touchdown in 12 games played. Johnson is an interesting dynasty/keeper asset if the Giants can figure out their QB situation sooner than later. For the rest of the 2024 campaign, Daniel Bellinger should serve as New York's top pass-catching TE, although it may not result in much fantasy relevance.
