Juwan Johnson Absent On Wednesday

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (quadriceps) was absent from the team's practice on Wednesday. The 26-year-old is starting off the week with an injury after tying his season-high in targets and receptions against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17. It is still early, but if Johnson was to miss their Week 18 game against the Carolina Panthers, it would be a big blow to the passing offense as he's played a larger role as of late. For fantasy managers that are relying on the third-year pro in fantasy championships, it'd be best to monitor his availability throughout the week.
