Start Juwan Johnson: 56 percent of the snaps and 7 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against T.J. Hockenson's 50 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.
