Juwan Johnson Status
rotoWire
Johnson and the Saints have agreed on a two-year contract extension, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
What it means:
Johnson is coming off the best season of his young career. He recorded 508 yards and seven touchdowns on 42 receptions. By agreeing to an extension, he will avoid restricted free agency. The 26-year-old projects as the No. 1 tight end for new quarterback Derek Carr.
rotoWire
Johnson hauled in their only target for 21 yards during Sunday's 10-7 loss against Carolina.
What it means:
Johnson logged less than two targets for just the second time in 16 games. The 6-foot-4 tight end saw a massive increase in usage during the 2022 campaign, allowing him to finish with his best season as a pro. The 26-year-old recorded 42 receptions (on 65 targets) for 508 yards and a team-high seven receiving touchdowns. Johnson first emerged as a big-bodied red-zone target in 2021, but he became one of the Saints' top receivers due to the team's rash of injuries at wideout. The No. 1 tight end accumulated the team's second-most targets and receiving yards behind rookie wide receiver Chris Olave as well as the third-most receptions behind running back Alvin Kamara. Johnson will now enter the 2023 offseason as a restricted free agent.

Juwan Johnson (quad) active for Saints in Week 18
What it means:
New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johson will play Sunday in the team's game against the Carolina Panthers.
Johnson entered the weekend with a questionable tag due to a quad ailment. Despite that, he will suit up in the team's final matchup of the 2022-23 campaign.
Our models project Johnson for 3.8 catches, 39.0 yards, 0.3 touchdowns and 7.4 FanDuel points.
rotoWire
Johnson (quadriceps) is listed as active Sunday against the Panthers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
What it means:
After opening Week 18 prep as a non-participant Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury, Johnson proceeded to log back-to-back limited sessions before New Orleans tabbed him as questionable for Sunday's game. Taysom Hill also entered the weekend with the same listing, but both tight ends will be available to the offense. In 15 appearances this season, Johnson's snap share has ranged from 45 to 77 percent, and while he's seen 11 red-zone targets this season en route to seven touchdowns, he's surpassed 50 receiving yards on just two occasions (Weeks 15 and 17).

Juwan Johnson (quad) questionable for Saints in Week 18
What it means:
New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (quad) is questionable to play in Week 18's game against the Carolina Panthers.
Johnson's status is currently in the air after the Saints' tight end followed a missed practice on Wednesday with two limited sessions. In a matchup against a Panthers' unit ranked ninth (8.3) in FanDuel points allowed per game to his position, our models project Johnson to score 7.6 FanDuel points.
Johnson's current projection includes 3.9 receptions for 41.2 yards on 5.9 targets.
rotoWire
The Saints list Johnson (quadriceps) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
What it means:
New Orleans will tentatively enter the weekend with just one healthy tight end (Adam Trautman), as Taysom Hill (back) is also listed as questionable for the season finale. Considering both Johnson and Hill closed the week with a pair of limited practices, there's a good chance the Saints could have both players available to fill their usual roles. Johnson has been the Saints' top pass-catching tight end this season, as he enters the Week 18 contest with 41 receptions for 487 yards and seven touchdowns on 64 targets across his 15 appearances.
