Theo Johnson
TE
New York Giants
- Teammate Malik Nabers (a top target) is questionable.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how TEs have played against the Rams in the 2026 season.
TE1 = the highest-scoring TE against Rams in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Theo Johnson should do vs the RamsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Rams, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Theo Johnson has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Rams opponents to line them up with: the best TE they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Theo Johnson will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Rams avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Theo Johnson's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Theo Johnson usually produces.
Projected is Theo Johnson's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Rams were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.
| Wk | Opp | Tgt | Rec | ReYd | ReTD | FPts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | DAL | 1 | 1 | 9 | 0 | 1.9 |
| 2 | LA | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.0 |
| 4 | ARI | 1 | 1 | 11 | 1 | 8.1 |
| 5 | WAS | 3 | 2 | 35 | 0 | 5.5 |
| Johnson avg | 2.3 | 1.0 | 13.8 | 0.3 | 3.9 | |
| Rams TE1 avg | 2.0 | 2.0 | 19.0 | 0.0 | 3.9 | |
| Difference | -0.3 | +1.0 | +5.3 | -0.3 | +0.0 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Johnson averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Prediction & chance to scoreTheo Johnson vs the Rams
Prediction for Theo Johnson
Nobody knows which slot Theo Johnson will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Rams.
I predict about 5.3 points for Theo Johnson if playing as a TE1. Theo Johnson has averaged 1.9 over 1 game, and the Rams have given up 3.9 to TE1s (-62% vs the league average of 10.3).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Theo Johnson scored: Wk 1 1.9. Average 1.9; weighted toward recent games it is 6.3.
2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Rams allowed 3.9 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.3, so that is -62%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -16% adjustment (x0.84).
4. Result. 6.3 x 0.84 = 5.3. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.
It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely Theo Johnson is to reach it as a TE1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (5.3) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 3.2 points, leaning on Theo Johnson's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical TE swings before that).
Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 5.
With only 1 game of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.
InsightsPlain-English takeaways from the table
