Who Should I Start? Tyler Johnson or A.T. Perry

New York Jets wide receiver Tyler Johnson could enter the 2025 season as the team's WR3 behind Garrett Wilson and Josh Reynolds, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. "Tyler Johnson has jumped out more in practice," Rosenblatt wrote. "[He's made] some plays after the catch and is exhibiting some athleticism that Lazard simply doesn't bring to the table." He notes that Lazard might not be a lock to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of the preseason. While this is fantastic news for Johnson, it's tough to be excited about his fantasy football prospects. The 26-year-old entered the NFL as a fifth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 and has collected just 76 receptions for 828 yards and four touchdowns in 47 career games. Additionally, New York is set to have a low-volume passing offense with Justin Fields under center. Johnson could be an interesting best ball dart throw, but he can continue to go undrafted in traditionally fantasy setups.

Denver Broncos wide receiver A.T. Perry (undisclosed) will begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list, per Sports Illustrated's Zack Kelberman. While the nature of Perry's injury is unknown, head coach Sean Payton predicted the wideout might miss time to begin camp back in mid-June. Payton further noted that he may only be absent a week or so before rejoining the team, "depending on how the summer goes." The Wake Forest product flashed with a few splash plays in his rookie season with the Saints, but was waived following the year and garnered no stats in 2024. Despite his status as a developmental asset for Denver, his frame aligns with Payton's ideal pass-catcher profile. Perry will have quite a bit of work to do in a receiving room brimming with talent, but he is an interesting low-cost add in dynasty formats.
