It feels like Juwan Johnson's name has been everywhere in Week 15.
The New Orleans Saints' tight end is a popular fantasy football sleeper for Sunday's matchup with the Carolina Panthers. And this time of year, that comes with high stakes. Most leagues have either begun their playoffs or are in their final week of the regular season trying to grab spots.
Johnson has proven to have a solid floor. In each of his last seven games, he has at least three catches (and at least four catches in six of those seven).
He has caught two touchdowns in that seven-game span, and he's topped 50 receiving yards three times.
In fantasy, TE can be a tricky position, and it often leads to odd moves late in the year.

Should I start Juwan Johnson in fantasy?
The answer here definitely leans toward a no.
Johnson has a good enough matchup against the Panthers, and has been consistent enough, to consider him.
Tight end is one of those positions where it's hard to judge someone for being in a rough spot. Weird things happen with TEs each season.

But this week, Johnson is only ranked the No. 23 tight end for PPR formats by AllSportsPeople.
By no means should you feel awful in playing Johnson, but there might also be a better choice out there for you.
