Giants place TE Theo Johnson (foot) on season-ending IR

Dec 02, 2024

Giants placed DT Dexter Lawrence and TE Theo Johnson on season-ending injured reserve.

Related players: Daniel Bellinger, Chris Manhertz, Greg Dulcich

Fantasy Impact:

Since Week 9, a span of four games, Johnson averaged nearly six targets a game and in Week 13 he tied a season high of five catches with a season high of 54 yards against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Johnson will likely see a new coaching staff in 2025, but also a new QB and hopefully an improved offense overall.

Saints coach Darren Rizzi said team is expected to open the practice window for both RB Kendre Miller and WR Bub Means this week as they're eligible to return from IR.

Related players: Alvin Kamara

Fantasy Impact:

Another beat reporter, Ross Jackson, went on add in a post on X that Miller will get a clean slate and it's "all gas, no brakes" when Miller gets back. With the Saints not going anywhere, the return of Miller could eat into Kamara's workload. Taysom Hill is out for the season, so Kamara may get an extra crack at the end zone now and then, but it's probably worth it for the Saints to get more looks at Miller to close out the season. It's just something for Kamara owners to keep in mind once Miller is back on the field.

Saints TE Taysom Hill (ACL) out for the season

Tests today confirmed that Saints TE Taysom Hill is out for the year with the knee injury he suffered Sunday, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

This was the fear after the injury happened during Sunday's game. Hill had six rushing touchdowns this season as that's the area where he did the most damage this year. The injury should open up more chances for Alvin Kamara, but the Saints lose another offensive weapon for the rest of the season. Hill is under contract with the Saints for one more season.
