Tez Johnson Could Get Lost in the Shuffle

Wednesday, August 26, 2:43 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson was dealing with a minor injury, but appears to be healthy and back at practice now. The second-year wideout has some work to do if he wants to earn a bigger role in the offense this upcoming season. The 24-year-old is currently behind Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan, and Chris Godwin Jr. on the depth chart heading into the season. Johnson is currently battling for the fourth wideout spot with rookie Ted Hurst. Last season, Johnson opened some eyes with his big-play potential, but he still has more work to do. Johnson is a smaller receiver who is fast, but his size will probably limit him to situational usage. He could be worth holding in deeper dynasty leagues, but Johnson probably won't have a consistent role while everyone is healthy.

Brenen Thompson News

Brenen Thompson Heads to Locker Room on Thursday

Thursday, August 20, 7:22 PM

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Brenen Thompson (undisclosed) is heading to the locker room during their preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers. Thompson went to the medical tent after a hard fall on an overthrow from backup quarterback Trey Lance, then headed to the locker room for further evaluation. While the team has not provided an update, it appears the third-round pick's night is over. Thompson caught one pass for nine yards while playing all three snaps with quarterback Justin Herbert and the first-team offense. While fantasy managers should keep an eye on his injury status following Thursday's game, Thompson could see a large role in the Chargers' offense under offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.
