Who Should I Start? Bub Means or Kameron Johnson

Wednesday, August 13, 6:12 PM

The New Orleans Saints placed wide receiver Bub Means (leg) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Means suffered a serious lower-leg injury in the preseason opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday and will now miss the entire 2025 season. Before his injury on Sunday, he caught one pass for a gain of 12 yards. It's definitely a blow to the Saints receiving corps after the 24-year-old fifth-rounder last year caught nine of his 15 targets for 118 yards and one touchdown in seven games (one start) in his rookie season. Means also missed the final nine games of his first year in the league with an ankle injury, so he has quickly developed an injury-prone label. Means will now rehab his leg in hopes of being ready for the start of the 2026 season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Kameron Johnson has been held without a catch in each of his last two games, and he'll likely remain off the fantasy radar in Week 10 against the New England Patriots. While Tampa Bay has been hit by the injury bug on offense, they've found receivers other than Johnson to step up and fill larger roles. For example, players like Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard have been more involved with Mike Evans (collarbone) and Chris Godwin Jr. (fibula) sidelined. Meanwhile, Johnson has zero catches on one target over his last two games. He has just four catches this whole season, and all four came in Week 6 against the 49ers. The second-year Barton product should remain primarily involved on special teams, where he has four kick returns and four punt returns over the last two weeks.
