23-Year-Old Tight EndTE
New York Giants
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

Scores first NFL touchdown
TENew York Giants
November 4, 2024
Johnson caught three of six targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 9 loss to Washington.
ANALYSIS
Johnson finished second on New York in both targets (six) and receiving yards (51), and each mark was a new career high. The rookie also notched his first NFL touchdown in the defeat, catching a 35-yard pass down the seam with under three minutes remaining in the game. Johnson's production has been on the upswing -- after tallying just three catches over his first four contests, he's recorded at least three catches in four of his subsequent five games. Johnson did fail to reel in multiple catchable passes Sunday, but he's showing enough promise to take a stronghold on the No. 1 tight end role for the 2-7 Giants.

Absence could be short
TENew York Giants
July 16, 2024
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.
