Theo Johnson

Giants placed TE Theo Johnson (foot) on injured reserve.

Again, in theory, Johnson could be activated ahead of Week 18. But it seems unlikely that the Giants would do that so let’s call it a wrap on his season. The rookie made in-roads to a No. 3/No. 4 receiver role in his first season, closing with five or more targets in each of his last four games. Unfortunately for Johnson, the uncertainty with the Giants at head coach and general manager portends a possible trip through the “Greg Dulcich Zone,” where a player that was otherwise effective comes down with a case of Not New Management’s Guy. Johnson is a weak dynasty hold at best right now, but this was a fairly promising rookie season.
