Who Should I Start? Trent Sherfield Sr. or Tez Johnson

Sunday, August 10, 10:52 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Trent Sherfield Sr. continued to impress in the team's 30-9 win over the hosting San Francisco 49ers in the preseason opener on Saturday night. Sherfield caught all three of his targets for a team-high 73 receiving yards and also found the end zone on a pretty 36-yard catch in the front corner of the end zone. The 29-year-old has done nothing but impress during training camp practices and carried that over into the first preseason game. He should also contribute on special teams for the Broncos this year, but Sherfield's work already this summer should make him a lock for the 53-man roster going into Week 1 for at least WR and special-teams depth. The seven-year NFL veteran caught only eight of his nine targets for 83 yards and one touchdown in 17 games (one start) for Minnesota a year ago.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Tez Johnson hauled in four of five targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 28-23 loss to the New England Patriots. Since Mike Evans (collarbone) went down, Johnson has emerged as a key piece of the Buccaneers' passing attack, recording at least 40 yards in every game since the injury, and scoring four touchdowns over his last four contests. The rookie from Oregon is averaging 14.2 fantasy points per game since Week 6, ranking 20th among wide receivers during that stretch. With Evans, Chris Godwin, and Jalen McMillan all sidelined, Johnson should remain a featured target for Baker Mayfield moving forward.
