Velus Jones Jr. Signs With Saints

Sunday, March 16, 9:25 AM

The New Orleans Saints have signed free-agent wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. to a one-year deal. Jones is a former third-round pick of the Chicago Bears from 2022. He was never able to make much of an impact in Chicago and was waived by the team in October. Jones finished out last season with the Carolina Panthers, but he didn't see much of the field over there. He'll compete for a spot on the 53-man roster in training camp and could serve as a depth option or kick returner if he's able to make the team.

Tez Johnson News

No Clear Path to Fantasy Relevance for Tez Johnson in Tampa Bay?

Wednesday, May 27, 8:59 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson has produced when given the opportunity, but he could face an uphill battle to earn playing time going forward. The Bucs have control of Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin Jr., and Jalen McMillan through at least 2027, leaving Johnson in the No. 4 role (at best) for several years to come. There were times in the past when the Buccaneers supported three fantasy-relevant receivers at once, but the passing offense took a step backward last year, so we're not as bullish about the unit's upside going forward. That continues to leave Johnson in more of a depth role, where his outlook is dependent on both the state of the offense and injuries to his teammates. As it stands, Johnson ranks as the WR105 in RotoBalller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
