By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Sep 13th 2026, 12:44pm EDT

Last year, Juwan Johnson finished with a career high in targets, receptions, and receiving yards as the TE11 in fantasy points per game. Last year, among 54 qualifying tight ends, Johnson was 13th in target share, seventh in receiving yards per game, 15th in yards per route run, 11th in first-read share, and 23rd in first downs per route run. Johnson could easily post TE1 numbers in Week 1. Last year, in Weeks 12-18, Detroit ranked 15th in yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity allowed to tight ends.
