The New York Giants will host the Washington Commanders in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Theo Johnson.
Is Theo Johnson Playing in Week 15?
Johnson is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Johnson in Week 15?
Theo Johnson matched a season high with eight targets in Week 13 against the Patriots, and while he only recorded 5.9 of the 12.9 expected PPR points, there was an end zone target in his hands that could have (should have, if you ask him) made his stat line much better.
If he comes down with that catch, it would have been his fourth time in five games clearing 10 fantasy points, and he’d be a popular streaming name. Due to the drop and the Week 14 bye, some of the momentum in his favor has slowed, but if you’re streaming the position, you could do worse than an athletic marvel in an offense that lacks a true target hierarchy.
Four tight ends have reached 18 PPR points in this matchup this season, and while that outcome would surprise me, 11-14 points wouldn’t, and that’s useful at the TE position in a major way.
