Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | Chris Olave gets most of the love from fantasy analysts, but Juwan Johnson is the better red zone threat. He's bigger than Olave at 6'4" 231 lbs. Johnson is a converted WR who plays the move TE. He's a matchup problem for defenses, unlike teammate TE Foster Moreau who is more of a blocking specialist. The addition of Derek Carr should inject some life into the Saints' passing attack, especially now that the offensive line is healthy. Carr loved throwing to Darren Waller when he was on the Raiders. I look for a similar connection to develop in The Big Easy. And if WR Michael Thomas has a setback or misses significant time, Johnson could be in store for more targets and a career year. Johnson's current ADP at TE 18 seems cheap. Drafters who select Juwan Johnson (aka J.J.) could be in store for some fantasy "Good Times" in 2023 with Kid Dynomite!! Sleeper | |
Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 5/24: Crowded competition with Foster Moreau now here - might be tough to find any consistency. 3/13 - Resigned with Saints, where he was the TE8 and a TD Machine. Great spot to return to | 3/13 - Brutal multi-ligament knee tear at his age likely means he's toast, despite being so steady to start the year |
Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros | Juwan Johnson finished TE11 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring last season after catching 42 passes for 508 yards and seven touchdowns. It was an impressive performance considering that the Saints slogged through 2022 with Andy Dalton as their quarterback for most of the year. The Saints didn't select any of the top tight ends from a loaded TE draft class, and they traded TE Adam Trautman to the Broncos, although they did sign TE Foster Moreau, who is recovering from Hodgkin's Lymphoma and reportedly plans to play in 2023. A former undrafted free agent, Johnson has been a diamond in the rough for the Saints and could provide more sneaky fantasy value in 2023. | Zach Ertz was TE3 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring through the first 10 weeks of the 2022 season, but he tore his ACL and MCL on Nov. 13. It's not clear whether Ertz will be ready for Week 1, but he should be back early in the season. The question is whether the 32-year-old Ertz will be fit enough to continue his late-career resurgence following a major knee injury. After seven strong seasons with the Eagles, Ertz had a nightmarish 2020 in which he had 36-335-1 in 11 games, missing five games with a high-ankle sprain. Ertz started the 2021 season sluggishly, but then a trade to the Cardinals seemed to rejuvenate him, and he produced useful numbers until he went down last year. Not only is Ertz coming off a major injury, but he may have to share snaps and targets with talented young Cardinals TE Trey McBride. If you're thinking about investing in Ertz for 2023, insist on a discount. |
Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Ertz was 18th among fantasy tight ends, despite missing 6 fantasy games and finishing the year with 47 receptions, 406 yards, and 4 TDs. Kyler Murray is likely to miss the beginning of the 2023 season, but Ertz should still be a high-end TE2 in 2023. |
