The New Orleans Saints will face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding TE Juwan Johnson.
Is Juwan Johnson Playing in Week 13?
Johnson is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.
We’ll continue to monitor the Saints’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Juwan Johnson in Week 13?
Johnson scored in Week 11, but it required his first end-zone target since Week 1 and was yet another game with under 50 receiving yards. Anything can happen in New Orleans if they are going to give Taysom Hill as many touches as he’s had recently, but considering that they haven’t trusted Johnson with 25 routes in a game since mid-October, there’s no reason to go this far down the rankings.
The TE streamer tier is underwhelming, but there are a handful of options out there who are either a part of a productive offense (Dalton Schultz and Zach Ertz) or in the midst of seeing their role increase (Will Dissly and Ja’Tavion Sanders).
