Who Should I Start? Malik Heath or Tez Johnson

Sunday, November 16, 11:53 AM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Malik Heath (coach's decision) did not travel with the team to New Jersey for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New York Giants. He is officially inactive as a healthy scratch. We don't know the details behind Heath's absence, but typically, decisions like these are made for disciplinary reasons. However, it's rare to see a coaching staff leave a player on the 53-man roster off the flight for non-injury reasons. Nevertheless, Heath will be inactive for the first time this season. He has caught all six of his targets for 86 yards this season. His void will be filled by Savion Williams, who should fill a depth role behind Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden.

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.
