Who Should I Start? Tez Johnson or Efton Chism III

Friday, October 24, 5:29 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson has been a nice surprise for this offense over the last few weeks. This team is down multiple wideouts, but Johnson has stepped up and delivered lately. The rookie wideout saw nine targets during last week's loss to the Detroit Lions. He hauled in four of them for 58 yards and a touchdown. The 23-year-old has scored in back-to-back games, so he'll look to extend that streak against the New Orleans Saints in Week 8. Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) is ready to go, so Johnson should fall into the No. 2 role in the passing game. There should be enough upside here to plug in Johnson as a WR3 for this weekend.

New England Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism III (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Cleveland Browns. Chism was inactive for the first five games this season, but the rookie debuted in Week 6. He has logged offensive snaps in each of the last two contests. He has not yet been targeted in the passing game, but he does have seven kick returns. The 24-year-old undrafted free agent could remain a healthy scratch until another wide receiver suffers an injury.
