Johnson was not targeted during Thursday's 31-6 loss to the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

While the lack of opportunities in the passing game is a disappointment, Johnson at least led Saints tight ends in snaps (24) in the first game without Adam Trautman (knee). However, that only equated to 43 percent of the available offensive snaps. Unless he starts seeing more playing time, Johnson will not be a trustworthy fantasy option.

Johnson caught two of three targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 40-29 loss to Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Back in action after being made a healthy scratch Week 11, Johnson saw a trio of targets for the fourth time in eight games en route to a career high in receiving yards. With starting tight end Adam Trautman (knee) now expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, we could be seeing a lot more of the second-year Oregon product down the stretch. However, a Week 12 matchup with Buffalo's top defense probably isn't the best spot for Johnson to build upon this performance.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Eagles, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson is the odd man out with Nick Vannett (knee) making his season debut. This marks Johnson's second healthy scratch in his last three contests.

Johnson caught two of three targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 23-21 loss to Tennessee.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson's season seemed to hit a low point when he was a healthy scratch in Week 9 following three straight games in which he saw only one target. However, the converted wideout was back on the game-day roster and produced one of the longest gains of the day for the Saints' sputtering offense. The 25-year-old will look to stay involved in Week 11 against the Eagles, who have been among the weakest units at defending tight ends in 2021.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has played over 20 percent of the Saints' offensive snaps in four games this season, but he will be a healthy scratch in Week 9. Adam Trautman and Garrett Griffin are the only active tight ends for New Orleans on Sunday.

Johnson caught his lone target for eight yards in Monday's 13-10 win over the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson played second fiddle to Adam Trautman at the tight end, seeing two fewer targets. Since bursting on the scene with two touchdowns in the Saints' blowout win over the Packers in the season opener, Johnson has produced a 4-51-1 receiving line on eight targets over New Orleans' subsequent five contests.

Johnson saw one target but did not record a catch during Sunday's 33-22 win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson wasn't needed much on a day when Marquez Callaway and Alvin Kamara shared the team lead with eight targets apiece. With the Saints on bye in Week 6, he'll look to get back on track in Week 7 against the Seahawks.

Johnson caught two of three targets for 20 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

It's becoming clear that Johnson is the Saints' preferred receiving option at tight end. Even though Adam Trautman saw six looks in the season opener, he has seen just two targets in three games since while Johnson has already seen three targets three times this year. While he's not seeing enough volume to be anything more than a touchdown-dependent fantasy option, Johnson's role in the red zone makes him a respectable dart throw for deep-league fantasy owners who are desperate for production.

Johnson was not targeted during Sunday's 28-13 win over the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson logged a season-low eight offensive snaps and actually saw more action on special teams in this one. Meanwhile, Adam Trautman led Saints tight ends with over 80 percent of the snaps while Garrett Griffin set a new season high with 48 percent. If the Saints move forward with a similar run-heavy approach that involves doses of Taysom Hill, Johnson could struggle for playing time, let alone offensive production.

Johnson caught one of three targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 26-7 loss to Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

After seeing 19 percent of the offensive snaps Week 1, Johnson jumped to 41 percent Sunday while Adam Trautman fell from 82 to 52. While it's possible that game script played a large role in those disparities considering the Saints attempted nearly half as many rushing attempts compared to the season opener, Johnson saw three looks in both games, and it looks like he could have some sort of role in the passing game regardless of the situation. Next up is a Week 3 trip to New England.
