Video: A New Starting TE Candidate Emerges (Week 7 TE + QB Ranks)
I have Juwan Johnson at 12. This is probably the last week you're going to be able to get away with Juwan Johnson... start Juwan Johnson this week against the Steelers, and then probably prepare to say adios and start streaming tight ends... his role is diminishing is because they're playing more of the backup tight ends, and also using C.J. Donaldson quite a bit in replacement of a pass-catching tight end.

Last week to start; Akins returning ends Johnson's role

Ranked tight end 12 by Mattek Fantasy Football; scored zero points last week. This is probably the last week to start him as Jordan Akins will be returning from injury. After Akins returns, Johnson's role will diminish significantly, followed by a bye week in Week 8. His role is already diminishing because the Saints are playing more backup tight ends and using C.J. Donaldson (playing fullback-style) in place of a pass-catching tight end. Johnson, a converted wide receiver from Oregon, is not a natural or instinctive run blocker, so his role is shrinking in the offense. The source recommends starting him this week against Steelers in a good matchup, then prepare to stream tight ends.
