What the sportsbooks price

The player markets price Juwan Johnson at 8.7 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 16 books. That is the 108th highest figure of the 176 players the books price.

The books have Jared Goff at 16.3 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 17 books. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Jared Goff's price is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

This season through Week 2

Through Week 2, Juwan Johnson has been on the field for 71 percent of NO snaps, drawn 13 percent of the targets and had 20 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 5 of the offence's 19 third down targets, had 0 of its 3 chances inside the five and seen 6 of its 18 two minute targets.

His 11 targets have averaged 8.0 air yards.

In Week 1 against DET he caught 3 of 7 targets for 54 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

In Week 2 against BAL he caught 4 of 4 targets for 66 yards and did not score.

Through Week 2, Jared Goff has been on the field for 100 percent of DET snaps, dropped back 85 times and thrown 7.1 air yards an attempt.

He has been sacked or hit on 18 of 85 dropbacks and scrambled 3 times.

In Week 1 against NO he completed 26 of 39 passes for 206 yards, threw 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions and ran 2 times for 2 yards.

In Week 2 against BUF he completed 26 of 38 passes for 327 yards, threw 4 touchdowns and 0 interceptions and ran 3 times for 7 yards.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Juwan Johnson played 17 games and scored 179.9 PPR points, 10.6 a game, finishing TE8.

He caught 77 of 102 targets for 889 yards and 3 touchdowns, with 8 red zone targets.

That came to 6.0 targets a game, a 75 percent catch rate and 11.5 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 76 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

In 2025 Jared Goff played 17 games and scored 305.1 PPR points, 17.9 a game, finishing QB9.

He threw for 4564 yards on 578 attempts with 34 touchdowns and 8 interceptions, and ran for 45 yards and 0 touchdowns.

That came to 34.0 attempts a game at 7.9 yards an attempt.

He was on the field for 98 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Both were available for 17 games that season.

Side by side

In 2025 Jared Goff scored 17.9 PPR points a game and Juwan Johnson 10.6, 7.4 a game between them.

Juwan Johnson finished TE8 and Jared Goff QB9, which are two different ladders.

Juwan Johnson is a tight end and Jared Goff a quarterback, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Juwan Johnson is off in Week 8 and Jared Goff in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Jared Goff is only part priced, so the books' half of this page is whole for only one of them.
