Juwan Johnson holds position in tight end rankings for week 1

Juwan Johnson enters the opening week of the season ranked 12th among tight ends according to Pro Football Network. Analysts adjusted his positional standing following the August injury to Jordyn Tyson. Projections indicate Johnson may see a larger share of targets due to limited competition on the Saints roster. Quarterback Shough provides historical precision in the red zone, having recorded the second-highest completion percentage among returning starters last year. Johnson caught 77 passes during the previous season, maintaining an average of 11 yards or more per catch throughout his tenure with the team. While the Saints face a defense that allowed a low completion percentage to the position last year, his potential for touchdown catches remains a focal point for his outlook in the upcoming game.
