2025 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson took a few games to acclimate to the NFL, then got rolling before his rookie campaign was cut short by a Lisfranc injury in his foot. The 2024 fourth-round draft pick out of Penn State recorded at least three catches for 30 yards seven times in an eight-game span prior to sitting out the Giants’ final five games of 2024. Despite the serious nature of the injury he suffered last year, Johnson projects to pick up where he left off atop the depth chart after the Giants declined to add TE help this offseason. He wasn't a prolific pass catcher at Penn State while splitting time with Brenton Strange and then Tyler Warren, but Johnson does offer an unusual combination of size and raw athleticism, having lit up the 2024 Combine with a 4.57 40-yard dash and 38.5-inch vertical jump at 6-foot-6, 259 pounds. The Giants saw enough to prioritize other positions this offseason, making Johnson the favorite to start at TE again and a candidate to emerge as a useful complementary target behind No. 1 receiver Malik Nabers.

Modest results with Winston at QB
Johnson corralled three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's Week 11 loss to Green Bay.
ANALYSIS
Johnson set career-high marks with seven catches for 75 yards the previous Sunday against Chicago, but he went back to something close to his usual level of production versus the Packers. That may have had something to do with a change at QB -- Jaxson Dart (concussion) didn't play, and the Giants elected to go with Jameis Winston rather than Russell Wilson behind center. Johnson's stat line Sunday was slightly better than his averages of 2.9 receptions for 26.6 yards over the first nine games of the campaign, and he seems to have built a decent weekly floor with at least three catches in seven of his past eight contests. Should Dart be able to return to action against Detroit on Sunday, Johnson's outlook would likely bump up a bit.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Excited about second season
Johnson, who finished the 2024 season on injured reserve due to a foot injury, believes he is ready to break out during the 2025 campaign, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson had a relatively quiet first four games of his NFL career before going on an encouraging run from Weeks 5-13, an eight-game span where he recorded 26 receptions for 294 yards and a touchdown on 35 targets. With the foot issue now fully resolved, Johnson recently confirmed he's very excited about being healthy and having a much better grasp of what it means to be an NFL player going into his second season, adding that he's also looking forward to be much more involved in the offense as a pass catcher.
