Eli Raridon vs Juwan Johnson
Juwan Johnson holds a 42.8% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 10/2/2026
THE CASE FOR RARIDON
Raridon is 7+ years younger, which matters a ton at TE where breakouts are often delayed and longevity is real. New England’s pass-catcher depth chart is fluid enough that a camp/preseason pop could turn into a real role quickly. At his price, you’re buying asymmetric upside rather than paying for already-known production.
THE CASE FOR JOHNSON
Juwan has already shown he can earn targets and score TDs in the NFL, which is more than most dynasty TEs can say. New Orleans’ TE room has a clearer path to weekly usage than a typical TE2/TE3 stash, and his role is easier to project in the near term. Even with age baked in, he’s the better bet to give usable starts over the next 1–2 seasons.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Juwan Johnson—he’s the more reliable near-term TE points bet and the 17% value premium is justified for contenders.
Take Eli Raridon—age/optionality wins when you’re not paying for short-window production.
If you need points this season go Juwan; if it’s a stash/bench spot, take the younger swing with Raridon.
