Who Should I Start? Hunter Renfrow or Tez Johnson

Sunday, November 2, 11:53 AM

Carolina Panthers veteran wide receiver Hunter Renfrow will be a healthy scratch once again on Sunday as the team takes on the Green Bay Packers in Week 9 at Lambeau Field, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer. It's the third straight week that Renfrow has been a healthy scratch, and it coincides with Jalen Coker's return from Injured Reserve. The 29-year-old did have seven catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns (his only two on the year) in a loss to the Arizona Cardinals back on Sept. 14, but he has done little else in his six games played with the team. Renfrow has 15 catches on his 26 targets for 89 yards and the two touchdowns in his first year with Carolina, and he's now buried on the WR depth chart behind Coker, rookie first-rounder Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, rookie Jimmy Horn Jr., and Brycen Tremayne.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson will return from his Week 9 bye week and face the Patriots in Week 10, and he makes a great option off the waiver wire if he's available in your league. The seventh-rounder out of Oregon has stepped up in the last few weeks with multiple Bucs receivers battling injury. While Chris Godwin Jr. (fibula) could be healthy for Week 10, Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck) will still be sidelined for a while, giving Johnson a chance to continue to establish himself as a secondary option to fellow rookie Emeka Egbuka. Johnson had at least four catches in three of his last four games before the bye week and had a pair of impressive touchdowns. He drew 15 targets in his last two games and continues to become a trusted option for QB Baker Mayfield. He brings a high ceiling and a solid floor in Week 11 against the Patriots.
