STACKED’s take
Johnson gets plus matchup vs. Lions without key safeties Branch and Joseph.
Johnson's target outlook is enhanced by the absence of rookie first-rounder Jordyn Tyson. He faces a plus matchup against the Lions in Detroit, who will 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 with both missing significant time (Branch 5 games, Joseph 11 games), the Lions allowed the 15th-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends. With Branch and Joseph out and Avonte Maddox and Chuck Clark starting in their place, Johnson should find favorable matchups on his routes. The Saints-Lions game has a Vegas total of 50.5 points, the highest total on the board for Week 1.
