Johnson's TE20 ADP undervalues his TE10 finish and route volume upside.
Johnson has TE20 ADP (145.7) despite finishing TE10 in half-PPR total points (141.4) in 2025, offering value upside. He ran 504 routes (fourth among tight ends), and hitting 500+ routes at the TE position has yielded a 67% top-6 TE hit rate and 83% top-12 TE hit rate since the NFL went to 17 games. Johnson showed improved efficiency after rookie Tyler Shough took over as Saints starter, logging significantly more yards per route run and receiving yards per game despite lower expected points per game. With Shough entering his second year and an entire offseason to build rapport, plus the Saints' fourth-most plays per 60 minutes (66) and fourth-highest situation-neutral pass rate (59%), Johnson has room to unlock a top-five TE season in 2026.
