Tomorrow's Dynasty star today: Theo Johnson

If you drafted Puka Nacua in the fourth round of your rookie draft in 2023, you know how important it can be to acquire a young player cheaply before he explodes. Not every player will turn out to be Nacua – after all, statistically speaking, he is the best rookie wide receiver of all time. But one of the smartest strategies for being a successful dynasty player is identifying young talent who is poised to gain value in the future.

This series offers ideas for players prepared for an eventual breakthrough.

Theo Johnson, TE NYG

Giants rookies two weeks in a row? Who would have thought?

Johnson is in a completely different category than our last Tomorrow's Dynasty Star Today, Malik Nabers. Nabers is already a star waiting to be elevated to the category of true superstar. Johnson is a star in the making. Tight ends tend to take quite a long time to develop into viable fantasy football prospects – not every tight end is Sam LaPorta (although that started in year two!). However, Johnson has all the tools to develop into a great asset at the tight end position, especially given the down year we're seeing across the board among TEs.
