Despite flirting with Fantasy relevancy and preseason hype, Johnson has struggled to find any consistency. Getting hurt this offseason won't help things. Johnson averaged the 18th-most Fantasy points per game in PPR and has struggled to earn a consistent target share throughout his career. Volume has been a big factor in Johnson's lack of consistency. In 2023, he averaged the 26th-most touches among TEs but was under three touches per game. He also averaged just the 19th-most targets per game at TE. Furthermore, Johnson hurt his foot in June and did not have a timetable for his return. It all points to Johnson not being on the Fantasy radar in 2024.
Johnson is back for his fifth season with the Saints. The converted wide receiver generated a lot of preseason hype prior to 2023, but struggled out of the gate and battled injuries for a large chunk of the campaign. He did get rolling late in the season (TD in three straight games spanning Weeks 15-17), but still ended up with fewer targets, receptions, yards and TDs than he had during a breakout 2023. The 27 year old has had a knack for finding the end zone (15 TDs over the last three seasons is tied for seventh most among TEs) and remains atop the depth chart, but a lack of high-end volume limits him to TE2 territory.
