Saints, Seahawks Set for Week 3 Showdown in Seattle

SEATTLE, Wash. — The New Orleans Saints will visit the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday for a crucial Week 3 matchup in the NFL.

Tight end Juwan Johnson is expected to play for the Saints and is not listed on their injury report. He has been a key target for quarterback Spencer Rattler, despite facing a few concentration drops earlier this season. Johnson scored a touchdown in last week’s game and is projected to score 10.7 fantasy points in PPR formats against the Seahawks.

Johnson’s performance highlights some intriguing statistics. He opened the season with over nine targets in back-to-back games, a feat that has only been accomplished six times since 2010 by a tight end on an 0-2 team. He and Jimmy Graham comprise half of those instances, adding to the expectation of high volume this week. Currently, Johnson is tied with Trey McBride for the longest active 5+ catch streak among tight ends.

The weather in Seattle for the 4:05 PM ET kickoff looks favorable, with temperatures around 63 degrees Fahrenheit and winds at 4 mph, ideal conditions for offensive production.

Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals are set to face the 49ers in another Week 3 game, where tight end Trey McBride is also not on the injury report. McBride has established himself as a reliable asset, catching at least six passes in four consecutive games.

Managers looking for advice on their lineups can expect to see substantial performances from both Johnson and McBride, as they each look to continue their strong starts to the season.
