Solid outing in Week 8 loss Johnson caught 5 of 8 targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 23-3 loss versus the Buccaneers.

Impact Johnson logged five catches on at least seven targets for the second week in a row. The tight end once again finished third on the team in targets, receptions, and yards behind wide receivers Chris Olave (12-8-63) and Rashid Shaheed (12-9-75). The Saints benched starting quarterback Spencer Rattler for rookie Tyler Shough in the third quarter, as the passing offense continued to struggle in this game. New Orleans still logged 51 passing attempts as a team. If the team continues to air it out while playing from behind, then Johnson's fantasy production should benefit with a healthy number of targets going forward. New Orleans' next game will come versus the Rams in Week 8.

Cleared to face Tampa Johnson (neck) won't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Johnson started the week as a limited practice participant, listed with a new injury after playing through a minor ankle issue earlier in October. He's coming off a 79-yard performance in Chicago but has otherwise failed to maintain his momentum after a strong start to the season (at least in fantasy terms).

Remains limited in practice Johnson (neck) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Though his limited listing represented no change from Wednesday, Johnson may have been cleared to take part in more drills Thursday than he had a day earlier. According to Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana, the tight end was sporting a standard practice jersey during Thursday's session, after he had donned a red non-contact jersey Wednesday. Johnson may need to participate fully in Friday's practice to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, but he looks to be on a path to playing this weekend.

Limited in practice Johnson (neck) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact It's a new injury for Johnson, who caught five of seven targets for 79 yards in a 26-14 loss at Chicago on Sunday. He handled a 71 percent snap share and 81 percent route share in the contest, not showing any clear sign of injury.

Big afternoon in loss Johnson brought in five of seven targets for 79 yards in the Saints' 26-14 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Impact The veteran tight end tied Chris Olave for the team lead in receptions while checking in as the runner-up to him in receiving yards. Johnson's yardage total was a new season high and his best since Week 18 of last season, while his target tally was just two fewer than the combined number of looks he'd seen in the previous three games. Sunday's level of involvement was particularly encouraging considering the availability of both Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau, and Johnson should continue to be a focal point of the offense in a Week 8 home matchup against a Buccaneers defense that's notoriously generous to tight ends.

Bounces back in Week 7 loss Johnson accrued five receptions (on seven targets) for 79 yards during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Bears.

Impact Johnson posted a season high in receiving yards following three straight underwhelming performances with fewer than 30 receiving yards. The 29-year-old had a slow start before heating up in the second half, catching all four of his targets for 73 yards. Johnson has now posted at least five catches in four of seven games this season, and he's consistently been the Saints' No. 3 pass catcher behind wideouts Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, who logged seven and nine targets, respectively. The tight end will look to catch his second touchdown of the season when the Saints next play versus the Buccaneers in Week 8.

Fumbles in Week 6 defeat Johnson reeled in both of his targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 25-19 defeat against the Patriots.

Impact Johnson suited up after dealing with an ankle issue during practice for the second week in a row. The 29-year-old also logged exactly two catches for the second straight contest, as he recorded season lows in targets and receiving yards. The lowlight of Johnson's performance came on his second catch when he coughed up a fumble in the fourth quarter. Johnson went from averaging 9.7 targets per game over the first three weeks to averaging 3.0 over the last three weeks. This downturn in opportunities has coincided with the overall decrease in passing attempts for the Saints across the last three games, so it appears his dropoff in production may continue so long as the New Orleans offense eases its reliance on Spencer Rattler's arm. Johnson will look to grab more passes during the Week 7 contest versus Chicago on Sunday, Sept. 19.
