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
Still dealing with back issue
Johnson was limited at practice Wednesday due to a back injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
On the heels of New York's Week 11 bye, Johnson still is dealing with the back issue that capped his practice reps prior to the team's last game against the Panthers in Munich, Germany on Sunday, Nov. 10. He managed to play 69 of 75 offensive snaps (92 percent) in that contest en route to hauling in four of six targets for 37 yards. Considering the health concern is persisting, Johnson's status will be monitored as the week continues to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday versus the Buccaneers.

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.
