Cleared to play Johnson (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Impact The minor ankle injury is less of a concern than Johnson's recent drop in production -- six targets and 45 yards over the past two games -- combined with the recent returns of fellow tight ends Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau. Johnson took 85 percent of snaps in a Week 5 win over the Giants, but that was actually his season low, with the number having dropped by a few percentage points with each passing game since he took 99 percent of snaps in Week 1. He may soon run out of chances to prove that his surprising September production wasn't just a mirage.

Stays limited Thursday Johnson (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday.
Impact With back-to-back capped sessions under his belt to begin Week 6 prep, Johnson has one more chance to prove the health of his ankle Friday before the Saints potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Patriots. He played through the issue during a Week 5 win versus the Giants and handled a typical 85 percent snap share, but he managed just two catches (on four targets) for 17 yards.

Limited Wednesday Johnson (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Johnson also tended to an ankle injury last week, but he was able to suit up for this past Sunday's win against the Giants and logged a typical 85 percent snap share on his way to two catches (on four targets) for 17 yards. He'll have a pair of practices to get back to full this week, or else risk entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.

Role shrinks in Week 5 win Johnson caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Giants.
Impact The tight end produced his worst numbers of 2025, and while the returns of Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau from knee injuries didn't cut into Johnson's workload at all -- he was on the field for 56 offensive snaps (85 percent) -- Spencer Rattler and the Saints' offense did make an effort to attack downfield more than they had in the first month of the year. That change may have had more to do with the quality of the Giants' secondary than it did any growth in Rattler's game, but the window for Johnson to be a reliable fantasy option may be closing rapidly. He'll try to bounce back in Week 6 against the Patriots.

Suiting up Sunday Johnson (ankle) is listed as active Sunday against the Saints.
Impact Johnson was contained to a pair of limited practices during Week 5 prep due to an ankle injury, but he'll ditch his questionable designation and be available to New Orleans offense Sunday. He's welcoming back fellow TEs Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) to the lineup for the first time this season, but Johnson still should remain the most consistent pass catcher among the trio for QB Spencer Rattler. Johnson has racked up a respectable 22-204-1 line on 32 targets in four games on the campaign.
OCTOBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Status in question for Sunday Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact Johnson followed up Wednesday's absence due to an ankle injury with a limited session Thursday. He wasn't able to progress enough to avoid a designation in advance of the weekend, but his status nonetheless will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Meanwhile, fellow TEs Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) also are listed as questionable, but the Saints will need to activate them from the reserve/PUP list by Saturday afternoon in order for them to have a chance to play Week 5.
OCTOBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Upgrades to limited Thursday Johnson (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Impact After being held out of drills Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Johnson was back on the practice field one day later, joining fellow TEs Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) as limited participants. Both Hill and Moreau had their practice windows opened to return from the reserve/PUP list this week, but there's no guarantee either player will be cleared for Week 5 action. As the active roster currently stands, Johnson is the Saints' clear-cut top option at the position, and his status may receive clarity once the team posts its final practice report of the week Friday.

DNP due to ankle issue Johnson missed Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury
Impact This marks the first time this season that Johnson's practice reps have been impacted in any way, while fellow TEs Taysom Hill (knee, reserve/PUP list) and Foster Moreau (knee, reserve/PUP list), who had the practice windows opened this week, were both limited. It remains to be seen if Johnson's status is in peril for Sunday's game against the Giants, but he at least will have two more chances to mix into drills this week before the Saints potentially make a ruling on his availability for Week 5.
OCTOBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Limited production in Week 4 loss Johnson gathered in all three of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 31-19 loss to Buffalo.
Impact Johnson logged fewer than eight targets for the first time this season, finishing fifth on the team in this category behind wideouts Chris Olave (six), Rashid Shaheed (five) and Brandin Cooks (four) as well as running back Alvin Kamara (five). The Saints also logged more rushing attempts (34) than passing attempts (28) for the first time in 2025, as for the first time this season the team didn't have to chase points while keeping the game within one score until midway through the fourth quarter. Johnson has been one of the top PPR tight ends this season, averaging 5.5 catches on 8.0 targets per game. He'll look to get back on track during a Week 5 matchup versus the Giants on Sunday, Oct. 5.

Keeps producing as team loses Johnson finished with six receptions on eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 44-13 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Johnson continued his early-season surge with another strong PPR effort despite his team suffering yet another loss. The veteran starter has been an early surprise in fantasy, racking up 19 receptions on 29 targets for 176 yards and a touchdown through three contests. Johnson has quickly become a must-start option at such a shallow fantasy position heading into next Sunday's road tilt against the Bills.

Makes impact again in Week 2 Johnson caught five of nine targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.
Impact For the second straight game Johnson saw impressive volume, finishing second on the Saints in targets behind Chris Olave's 10, and this time the tight end was able to turn one of them into a score as he caught an 18-yard strike from Spencer Rattler inside the final two minutes of the first half. Johnson only saw 66 targets in 17 regular-season games in 2024, but he's already gotten 21 in the first two games of the current campaign, leading to a 13-125-1 line. He could be headed for another big effort in Week 3 against a Seahawks defense that gave up two TDs to San Francisco TEs -- George Kittle (hamstring) and Jake Tonges -- in its opener, before allowing a combined 7-58-0 line on eight targets to Steelers' tight ends Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth in Week 2.
