Saints' Juwan Johnson: Zero targets again Week 3
Johnson tallied zero targets during Sunday's 15-12 defeat against Philadelphia.
Johnson was a total non-factor in the passing game for the second week in a row. After catching an impressive toe-tap 16-yard touchdown Week 1, the fifth-year tight end has completely fallen out of the pass-catching rotation. What's worse, he appears to have been supplanted by Foster Moreau for the TE1 role, as the latter logged 40 offensive snaps Sunday compared to 28 for Johnson. The 6-foot-4 Johnson totaled 37 catches (on 59 targets) over 13 regular-season games with starting quarterback Derek Carr. However, it appears the tight-end position won't have nearly the same importance in the passing game under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Johnson will look to work his way back into a more consistent role during this coming Sunday's road game against the division-rival Falcons.
