Juwan Johnson vs Theo Johnson: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Juwan Johnson finished the 2025 season at 8.3 PPG over 17 games with the New Orleans Saints, while Theo Johnson clocked in at 7.0 across 15 appearances for the New York Giants. A 1.3-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Juwan Johnson is the volume tight end in this matchup with 77 receptions for 889 yards, while Theo Johnson profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (5 scores on 45 catches). In weeks where Theo Johnson finds the end zone he out-scores Juwan Johnson, but the floor gap is real.
One scheduling note: Juwan Johnson is off Week 12 and Theo Johnson Week 11. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
