2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Giants took Johnson, a Penn State product, in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Darren Waller announced his retirement less than two months later, leaving Johnson and 2022 fourth-round draft pick Daniel Bellinger as the team's main receiving threats at tight end. Johnson never had more than 341 receiving yards in a college season, but he used his 6-foot-6, 259-pound frame effectively in the red zone, scoring seven touchdowns in 2023. His 4.57-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine was especially impressive for a player of his size, suggesting Johnson has the physical tools to contribute more as a pass catcher at the NFL level. First, the 23-year-old rookie will need to earn a role, which will partially depend on his blocking. Read Past Outlooks
Efficient with three targets
Johnson brought in all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Johnson followed up his career day last week with a solid effort against the Bengals on Sunday Night Football. The Giants' rookie tight end had been used sparsely early in the season, but the fourth-rounder is averaging four receptions and 39 yards over his last two contests. Johnson is a name worth monitoring in case his role continues to grow as the season progresses. For now, those in deeper formats can take a look at the tight end ahead of next Sunday's tilt versus the Eagles.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Absence could be short
The Giants are hoping that Johnson won't miss much of training camp due to a hip injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson was placed on the PUP list Tuesday, though it's unclear how he suffered the injury. The fourth-round rookie is competing for the top spot on the tight end depth chart, but any missed time is likely to cause him to slip behind veteran Daniel Bellinger, who is also currently sidelined with an undisclosed issue.
