Juwan Johnson enters the 2026 season coming off a career-high 889 receiving yards and 77 catches on 102 targets in 2025, when injuries and trades thinned the Saints' receiving room and funneled targets his way. The team added competition this offseason with first-round wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, veteran tight end Noah Fant, and rookie Oscar Delp, which analysts expect to reduce Johnson's target share from his prior 18 percent level despite his strong yards-after-catch production and mismatch ability against linebackers. Tyson’s early-season hamstring injury could provide Johnson an initial volume boost in Tyler Shough’s second year as the starting quarterback, while Chris Olave remains the primary option in the passing game. At age 30 and with a restructured contract through 2027, Johnson’s floor remains supported by his prior consistency, though the deeper depth chart introduces downside risk for his full-season total.
