Johnson benefits from Tyson's absence and Lions' safety injuries; 50.5 game total.

Not only does the absence of rookie first-rounder Jordyn Tyson enhance the target outlook for Juwan Johnson, but Johnson gets a plus matchup against the Lions in Detroit. The Lions are going to be without star safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph early in the season. When Branch and Joseph played full seasons in 2023, the Lions allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends. Last season, Branch missed five games and Joseph missed 11, and the Lions allowed the 15th-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends. With Branch and Joseph out, and with Avonte Maddox and Chuck Clark starting in their place, Johnson should find favorable matchups on his routes. The Vegas total for Saints-Lions is 50.5 points, the highest total on the board for Week 1.
