Joined by Likely
Johnson (illness) faces added target competition after the Giants signed Isaiah Likely to a three-year, $40 million contract Monday, Albert Breer of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson, a 2024 fourth-round pick, emerged as New York's clear top tight end in 2025 while securing 45 of 74 targets for 528 and five touchdowns across 15 regular-season appearances, but Likely's contract and familiarity with new head coach John Harbaugh make him the favorite to lead the position in pass-catching reps. That said, Johnson figures to remain in a significant role on offense and the Giants made it a priority to re-sign blocking specialist Chris Manhertz prior to the start of free agency. It won't be surprising if New York deploys a heavy rotation at right end during the 2026 season. Johnson missed the final two games of 2025 due to an illness but should be fully healthy to begin offseason activities.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Excited about second season
Johnson, who finished the 2024 season on injured reserve due to a foot injury, believes he is ready to break out during the 2025 campaign, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson had a relatively quiet first four games of his NFL career before going on an encouraging run from Weeks 5-13, an eight-game span where he recorded 26 receptions for 294 yards and a touchdown on 35 targets. With the foot issue now fully resolved, Johnson recently confirmed he's very excited about being healthy and having a much better grasp of what it means to be an NFL player going into his second season, adding that he's also looking forward to be much more involved in the offense as a pass catcher.
