2026 Week 6 Fantasy Football Breaking News: Theo Johnson Ruled Out for Giants vs. Saints
The Giants tight end is out with a neck injury, opening a door for his backup this week.
The New York Giants have ruled out tight end Theo Johnson (neck) for their Week 6 matchup against the Saints, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Johnson's absence was confirmed in the same injury report that also declared cornerback Colton Hood (concussion) and safety Tyler Nubin (neck) out for the game.

Johnson is off the table entirely for Week 6 — drop him in your lineup now. Isaiah Likely is up for even more targets this week with Johnson out. Dynasty managers should note the neck designation, which can linger — monitor updates closely before committing assets.
Separately, the injury report has plenty of other moving parts for the Giants' offense. Left tackle Andrew Thomas (groin) and right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (calf) are both questionable after limited practices Friday. If either misses Sunday, the Giants' pass protection takes a real hit — which matters for every New York skill-position player you're considering starting against New Orleans.
