Who Should I Start? Tay Martin or Kameron Johnson

Sunday, August 11, 2:28 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Tay Martin saw a good chunk of action in the team's 17-13 loss at the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night. Martin finished with a team-leading five receptions on seven targets for 58 yards. The 26-year-old went undrafted out of Oklahoma State in 2022 and has spent the past two years on San Francisco's practice squad. The 49ers' receiving picture is a little fuzzy, with trade rumors swirling around starter Brandon Aiyuk and an injury to rookie Ricky Pearsall. However, Martin is still competing with many other receivers for a roster spot. He'll likely not be fantasy-relevant this season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Kameron Johnson (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's Week 3 home matchup against the Denver Broncos. Johnson started the week with a limited practice on Wednesday before downgrading to a DNP on Thursday and Friday. In anticipation of his absence, Tampa Bay has elevated wide receiver Sterling Shepherd off its practice squad for depth at the position. The 22-year-old rookie has been a distant option for the Bucs so far in 2024, recording the fewest snaps of all wideouts (11) and failing to earn a single target in the passing game. His lone touch on the year was a carry he advanced for no gain. Chris Godwin and Mike Evans will remain the de facto top two targets for Baker Mayfield, with Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer picking up the scraps in a smash spot for the team this weekend.
