Should You Start or Sit Johnson in Week 14?
This is a two-man passing attack for one of the worst teams in football.
Sold.
Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson are getting as much work as they can stomach as the Saints attempt to stay competitive for 60 minutes and while the stat lines aren’t flash, Johnson is getting the job done.
Active TE Streaks With 8.5+ PPR Points
- Trey McBride: 14
- Johnson: 6
- George Kittle: 4
That’s not bad company, not bad company at all.
I’m obviously not ranking him among those two super stars, but he serves as a nice reminder that there can be value mined in some ugly situations.
The Buccaneers are a pass funnel defense that will score points: look for Tyler Shough to flirt with 40 pass attempts for a third straight week and land Johnson near, if not in, the top-12 at the position.
