Who Should I Start? Johnny Wilson or Tez Johnson

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Johnny Wilson (knee, ankle) will undergo surgery on his knee and ankle and miss the entire 2025 season, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Wilson suffered the injuries in practice on Tuesday. The 24-year-old was selected in the sixth round by the Eagles in 2024 and appeared in 16 games as a rookie, recording five catches. Wilson was expected to play a larger role on offense in his second season, but that will now have to wait until 2026. Philadelphia acquired wide receiver John Metchie III from the Houston Texans earlier this week, and Metchie III looks like the favorite to take Wilson's role as the team's WR4.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson has made the most of his extra playing time over the last few weeks. Last week, Johnson hauled in four of his five targets for 42 yards with two touchdowns in the loss to the New England Patriots. The rookie wideout has four touchdowns over his last four games. He played a season-high 83 percent of the offensive snaps during last weekend's game. Johnson is earning the trust of the Bucs offense and his making the plays when called upon. Given his recent performances and the injuries to this roster, Johnson should be able to offer WR3 value for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
