Theo Johnson, the New York Giants' primary tight end, is projected to play a significant role in the 2025 season after recovering from foot surgery. With a fully healthy status, Johnson aims to play all 17 games, capitalizing on his 2024 performance where he averaged 3.6 catches and 43.2 yards over his final five games before injury.

Johnson's role as the top pass-catching tight end is bolstered by the Giants' revamped quarterback room, featuring Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and rookie Jaxson Dart. This improved passing attack is expected to enhance Johnson's fantasy value, making him a mid-round target in drafts.

Head coach Brian Daboll's offense emphasizes tight ends in both blocking and receiving roles. Johnson is expected to excel in seam and intermediate routes, particularly on third downs, contributing to the Giants' goal of improving their third-down conversion rate from 35.34%.

For fantasy managers, Theo Johnson's potential for an expanded role in 2025, combined with his health and the Giants' offensive strategy, positions him as a valuable asset, especially in leagues that reward tight end receptions and yardage.
