Tight end Eric Johnson agreed to a one-year contract to return to the New Orleans Saints on Monday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Johnson played 14 games for New Orleans last season, catching 48 passes for 378 yards and two touchdowns. Seven of his first nine games saw him catch at least three passes; one of his last five had him grab that many (he missed two games with an injury). (Updated 03/11/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Johnson was plagued by drops at key times for the Saints and was eventually replaced by Billy Miller for portions of games. Now it's expected that they'll battle for the starting job and for playing time. Ultimately, figure Johnson to have one or two strong games in 2008 but be only of value as a bye-week replacement Fantasy TE. (Updated 03/11/2008).
