2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Giants took Johnson, a Penn State product, in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Darren Waller announced his retirement less than two months later, leaving Johnson and 2022 fourth-round draft pick Daniel Bellinger as the team's main receiving threats at tight end. Johnson never had more than 341 receiving yards in a college season, but he used his 6-foot-6, 259-pound frame effectively in the red zone, scoring seven touchdowns in 2023. His 4.57-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine was especially impressive for a player of his size, suggesting Johnson has the physical tools to contribute more as a pass catcher at the NFL level. First, the 23-year-old rookie will need to earn a role, which will partially depend on his blocking. Read Past Outlooks
Undergoes surgery
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Johnson underwent surgery Tuesday to address a Lisfranc injury, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
New York placed Johnson on injured reserve Monday, but the extent of his foot injury wasn't known. With surgery deemed necessary, Johnson can officially be ruled out for the rest of the season, but the 23-year-old could be ready to go for the start of the Giants' offseason program in the spring. After Darren Waller retired over the summer, the rookie fourth-round selection took over as the Giants' No. 1 tight end. He'll finish his first season with 29 catches on 43 targets for 331 yards and one touchdown.
