Who Should I Start? Jalin Hyatt or Tez Johnson

Monday, December 1, 7:19 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is a healthy scratch for the Monday night game against the New England Patriots to close out Week 13 action, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. This will be just the second time all year, and the first since Week 8, that Hyatt will sit without dealing with an injury. The 24-year-old will be the odd-man out for a receiving corps that will roll with Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, Gunner Olszewski, and Dalen Cambre as they look to upset the Pats in primetime. The Giants will head into their bye in Week 14, so the next chance Hyatt will have to play will be on Sunday, Dec. 14, against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Hyatt has not been very involved in New York's offense in his third year in the league, catching five of 13 targets for only 35 yards and no touchdowns in seven games.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson has been a solid red zone threat for this offense recently. Johnson has scored three touchdowns over his last three games. Sadly, the yardage hasn't been there as Johnson has been held to 42 yards or fewer in two of his last three games. It's also worth noting that quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is banged up coming into this game. It's unclear how well Mayfield is going to be able to pass this weekend. Fellow wideout Chris Godwin should see a larger role this weekend after being eased back into action last week. Johnson has decent upside, but should be viewed as a touchdown-dependent option for the Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
