Juwan Johnson vs. Steelers — Neutral-Site Rebound Spot

Johnson remains the Saints' primary tight end, but fantasy confidence softened after he went without a catch on two targets his last time out. Prior to that blanking, he hauled in 10 passes over a two-game stretch and has already caught three touchdowns this season from quarterback Tyler Shough.

Our weekly projection anticipates a recovery, forecasting Johnson for 4.2 receptions, 40 receiving yards, and 11.2 fantasy points against Pittsburgh. While fantasy managers have hesitated following that zero-point outing, dropping his start rate to 38%, he remains a viable streaming option with legitimate touchdown upside in Paris.
