If Theo Johnson is out, who gets his targets?
The New York Giants room absorbs +0.23 receptions, and Isaiah Likely takes the largest single share at +0.23. The work stays overwhelmingly inside the tight end room.
Where the work goes
Change in projected receptions for every other player in the offense. The bars are small on purpose — a vacated role is shared out, and any tool showing one replacement absorbing a whole target load is telling you something the data does not support.
Every player in the room
| Player | Catches now | If he sits | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Malik Nabers WR · 68% snaps | 3.60 | 3.60 | +0.00 |
| Isaiah Likely TE · 67% snaps | 3.20 | 3.43 | +0.23 |
| Cam Skattebo RB · 66% snaps | 2.90 | 2.90 | +0.00 |
| Malachi Fields WR · 74% snaps | 2.30 | 2.30 | +0.00 |
| Darnell Mooney WR · 58% snaps | 1.70 | 1.70 | +0.00 |
| Devin Singletary RB · 31% snaps | 1.30 | 1.30 | +0.00 |
| Theo Johnson TE · 30% snaps | 0.90 | — | OUT |
| Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB · 2% snaps | 0.70 | 0.70 | +0.00 |
What the data says happens
Measured across every regular-season game from 2018 onward, each beneficiary compared against his own trailing four-game form and net of what the same players do in weeks the room’s number one actually plays.
| Room | Receptions gained | n | t |
|---|---|---|---|
| Receivers | +0.107 | 2,160 | 2.29 |
| Tight ends | +0.492 | 1,024 | 9.57 |
| Backs | -0.045 | 1,259 | -0.92 |
The room total is predictable. Which player takes it is not. Every candidate predictor of who gains — pecking order, snap share, route depth, trailing targets — correlates at roughly r = 0.02. In any single week one player usually takes about 60% of what was vacated; it is simply not predictably the same one.
