New York Giants rookie tight end Theo Johnson continued to struggle with another abysmal fantasy week in the team's 28-3 loss to the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7. The rookie out of Penn State didn't receive a single target, while his counterpart, Daniel Bellinger, caught his only target for 11 yards. The passing game struggled mightily with quarterback Daniel Jones only accounting for 99 yards through the air before backup Drew Lock entered the game and added six more. Johnson hasn't been able to string together any type of consistency right now, but neither has the tight end position as a whole for the Giants. His next chance to bounce back will be against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8.
New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson will look to make an impact in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles after recording 30 yards on three catches in Week 6 against the Bengals. Johnson has struggled to find consistent fantasy relevance this season, with 11 receptions for 115 yards and no touchdowns, averaging just 2.83 fantasy points per game. He faces a tough matchup against an Eagles defense that ranks 2nd against tight ends, allowing just 6.24 points per game. While the Eagles pass defense is vulnerable overall, ranking 20th in yards allowed, Johnson will need to capitalize on limited opportunities, as Philadelphia has only given up seven passing touchdowns all season.
New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson had the biggest game of his rookie season in Sunday's 29-20 win over the Seattle Seahawks, hauling in all five of his targets for 48 yards. Johnson's 22-yard catch highlighted his afternoon, helping the Giants sustain key drives. Averaging 9.6 yards per reception, he proved to be a reliable short-to-intermediate option for Daniel Jones in a game where others had to step up due to injuries. While his 7.3 fantasy points aren't eye-popping, Johnson's growing involvement in the offense makes him an intriguing stash in deeper leagues, especially as he gains more trust in critical situations.
New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson heads into Week 4 after contributing only one reception for 13 yards in the team's 21-15 win over the Browns. He almost scored the first touchdown of his career as he was targeted in the end zone, but the ball was just out of his reach. Johnson has averaged 1.70 fantasy points per game this season as he is still adjusting to life in the NFL. However, he faces a tough test against the Dallas Cowboys, who rank 13th in defense against tight ends and have allowed just 7.47 fantasy points per game to the position. As of now, Johnson is best left on the waiver wire.
New York Giants rookie tight end Theo Johnson enters Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns after a performance he would like to forget in Week 2, where he posted zero receptions on zero targets against the Washington Commanders. Cleveland has allowed an average of only 8.65 fantasy points per game to tight ends through the first two weeks. At this point, Johnson should not be considered for anyone's roster, but fantasy managers should keep an eye on him, as he is still the team's starting TE, and the Giants have committed to him there.
