Derius Davis Could Have A Role On Wild Card Weekend

Thursday, January 9, 9:40 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Derius Davis could find himself with an expanded role in a Wild Card Round matchup against the Houston Texans on Saturday. Davis went on a solid hot streak near the end of the season, scoring touchdowns in Weeks 16 and 17. With Joshua Palmer (foot) ruled out and Quentin Johnston (thigh/illness) questionable, Davis could be needed to work alongside Ladd McConkey and D.J. Chark. Davis hasn't seen more than 37% of the team's offensive snaps in any game this season, and he averaged somewhere around 16%, so even with the injuries ahead of him, he shouldn't be expected to take on an enormous role. Still, he could be a value pick in playoff fantasy contests who happens to find himself in the end zone.

Tez Johnson News

Tez Johnson is Worthy Dynasty Stash

Saturday, October 10, 5:35 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson was hopeful to build off his decent rookie campaign, but that hasn't really happened early in the year. Through five games, Johnson has recorded five receptions for 138 receiving yards and zero touchdowns. The second-year wideout made himself an interesting dynasty stash after showing off his big-play ability last season. The 24-year-old scored five touchdowns in limited playing time last season, but he hasn't been able to find the same success this year. Due to injuries, Johnson is currently the fourth receiver on the depth chart, so there's a chance that his role could grow. He hauled in a big 64-yard catch during Thursday's win over the Dallas Cowboys. Johnson has big-play upside, but isn't anything more than a dynasty stash at the moment.
