Juwan Johnson

I, I really like...

I, and I, I would ra- like, I like Olave and Juwan Johnson more than I like Shuck, um, if that makes sense.

I like 'Emall.

Mm-hmm.

Again, I could be a sucker, but that's, that's how I feel.

No, I like it.

Uh, from Rob, "Half PPR, Juwan Johnson or Mayer? Lost Bowers."

I'll go Juwan Johnson.

Play him this week in deep leagues.

Now at tight end, we talked about Juwan Johnson.

This is just, you don't overthink it.

Just remind yourself fantasy football doesn't have to be hard.

Don't worry about it.

Go ahead.

You know, Juwan Johnson, I think we have him at tight end 11.

That's just because there's no bye weeks, but, I mean, you could argue of, like, tight ends after tight end seven, eight.

Um, the guys that I have for reference, you know, the top is standard and whatnot.

But, um, at tight end 10, it's Juwan Johnson, then Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely, Dalton Kincaid, Jake Ferguson, and then Michael Mayer.

I could argue for Mayer ahead of Jake Ferguson purely because of the fact that Mayer could be the first look and Jake Ferguson would be, um, the third look obviously behind, you know, because we have s- healthy CeeDee Lamb and healthy George Pickens.

But that's a really good matchup, so I don't, I don't know if I can push Ferguson back too far, so I think that's my cutoff.

Calvin Austin is on IR.

Darius Slayton was cut, quietly cut, right? who's left malachi fields big slot malachi fields power forward malachi fields he is gonna be if i had to pick one receiver that's gonna be a dynasty riser after week one it's malachi fields and you can play him play him this week in deep leagues now at tight end we talked about juwan johnson this is just you don't overthink it just remind yourself fantasy football doesn't have to be hard actually can be quite easy you play your saints this week don't worry about it go ahead and juwan johnson i think we have him a tight end 11.

that's just because there's no bye weeks but i mean you could argue of like tight ends after tight ends seven eight he you could argue his best case outcome his maximal upside is higher than even like a kyle pitts i mean kyle pitts has given us some of the the biggest spike weeks in the history of the tight end position that's that's a that's high praise but the situation is just so perfect Everything is lining up just so well.

And he's one of those quiet, quiet producers in preseason, but mostly camp.

He didn't play a lot in preseason because he's, you know, a key member of the starting unit.

But praise was quietly rolling in.

Whenever you would hear the notebook, read the notebook from one of these beat writers, usually was some comment about a Juwan Johnson play down the middle, down the seam, having a great camp, playing well, leadership, all the things.

No injury concerns, right? Clean, quiet camp for Juwan Johnson, but little tidbits little nuggets here and there where he was standing out in practice, standing out in practice, standing out in practice throughout preseason.

And I assume that they will add someone or elevate someone from the practice squad.

But it's basically, it's Olave, Vele, and Juwan Johnson as the only pass catchers we could trust because Barry and Brown and Bryce Lance, they haven't played.

Like, how can we trust either of those guys? uh so i think it's gonna be very concentrated in a game script where they have to throw at least from a volume stance like you're you're not expecting like the moon out of guys like valet but i do think you know he's in please 3500 on draft kings like there's definitely a world where he gets eight to ten targets at 3500 uh so you just hope he gets into the box um you know because the season-long stuff like you're probably not getting week one to define no

But Jawan Johnson, I think, is startable.

And these guys, Antonio Pierce and Kawika Mitchell, they're not even close talent-wise.

So when you say early nineties, you mean like, like reasons, pepper Johnson or Michael Brooks, Carlton Bailey? Uh, the former.

Okay.

Awesome.

So why wouldn't you want him Just from that regard alone, I think he's going to be one of the most five targeted top five targeted tight ends in the league.

I mean, take away Trey McBride last year who had 163 passes thrown his way.

Kyle Pitts, Dalton Schultz, Colton Loveland, Tyler Wharton, Harold Fenn and Travis Kelsey, Jake Ferguson and Juwan Johnson were that eight guys right there.

They were all between 100 and 114 targets.

And now it's Devon Etienne.

Look, they got Jordan Tyson, Juwan Johnson.

Their offensive line is good.

Their defense is good.

That's what I did, and I did move him.

So, yeah, I have him ahead of Juwan Johnson at Detroit, Laporta, and Kraft.

Like, Laporta's questionable.

Kraft is on a snap count, and I don't know how much I love Juwan Johnson against Detroit.

So, Michael Mayer to nine against Miami.

And Miami, you know, look, Jordan Brooks is a good coverage linebacker, so might not be the best week for him, but...

I have stayed away from Kyle Pitts largely in drafts just because I didn't think he was going to have as good of a season as people thought.

But if you've got him, I think you play him unless you happen to also draft Juwan Johnson, who has a great matchup.

Other than that, no, you've got to play him.

Have you considered Chig Akonkwo? Actually, Chig has a terrible

This is the kind of game where Travis Etchen is going to get a bunch of dump offs and stuff.

So you're going to play him this week.

Juwan Johnson, I think you play as well.

I think the, you know, the linebackers are not a weakness for the Lions.
