Tez Johnson Fantasy Stats

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson has been a solid red zone threat for this offense recently. Johnson has scored three touchdowns over his last three games. Sadly, the yardage hasn't been there as Johnson has been held to 42 yards or fewer in two of his last three games. It's also worth noting that quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is banged up coming into this game. It's unclear how well Mayfield is going to be able to pass this weekend. Fellow wideout Chris Godwin should see a larger role this weekend after being eased back into action last week. Johnson has decent upside, but should be viewed as a touchdown-dependent option for the Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson was one of the lone bright spots for his team in their 34-7 Week 12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, hauling in three catches for 21 yards and a touchdown on four targets. The 23-year-old has now recorded five touchdown catches over his last six games played. Perhaps most encouragingly, Johnson played 86% of Tampa Bay's offensive snaps against Los Angeles even though Buccaneers wideout Chris Godwin returned to the field for the first time since Week 5. However, Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury that forced him to exit Week 12 early and puts his status in question for Tampa Bay's Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Any missed time for Mayfield would be a blow to the fantasy outlook for Johnson and the rest of the Buccaneers' pass-catchers. Still, Johnson has emerged as a player worth targeting on the waiver wire in PPR leagues with 12 or more teams.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson has stepped up for this offense in recent weeks. However, Johnson gave fantasy managers a dud last week when he hauled in one of his three targets for six yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. His role in the offense could be reduced with Chris Godwin (leg) possibly returning in Week 12. If that happens, Johnson is going to be a risky starting option. The 23-year-old offers big-play potential, but can also fall out of the gameplan. Fantasy managers should view Johnson as a boom-or-bust flex option for the Week 12 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson has made the most of his extra playing time over the last few weeks. Last week, Johnson hauled in four of his five targets for 42 yards with two touchdowns in the loss to the New England Patriots. The rookie wideout has four touchdowns over his last four games. He played a season-high 83 percent of the offensive snaps during last weekend's game. Johnson is earning the trust of the Bucs offense and his making the plays when called upon. Given his recent performances and the injuries to this roster, Johnson should be able to offer WR3 value for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Tez Johnson continues to see his role grow in his first year in the NFL, with Mike Evans (collarbone), Chris Godwin (leg), and Jalen McMillan (neck) injured. The Buccaneers fell short coming out of their bye in a 28-23 defeat to the visiting New England Patriots on Sunday in Week 10, but it wasn't because of Johnson's efforts. The 23-year-old first-year wideout caught four of his five targets on the day for 42 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged a healthy 10.5 yards per catch and now has four touchdowns in his first eight NFL games. In fact, Johnson has scored all four of his TDs in his last four games. He has had at least five targets in the last three games as he and fellow rookie Emeka Egbuka lead Tampa's banged-up receiving corps. Evans and McMillan may not return this year, and Godwin is unlikely to be back in Week 11 against the Bills, so Johnson will be firmly in the WR4/flex mix in fantasy yet again next weekend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson has become a viable option in this offense over the last few weeks. It took a few injuries for Johnson to get a chance, but the 23-year-old is showing he deserves to stay in this spot on the depth chart. In Week 8, Johnson hauled in five of his six targets for 43 yards in the win over the New Orleans Saints. The Bucs are still without Chris Godwin (leg) and Mike Evans (shoulder) for this weekend, so Johnson should continue seeing a high volume of passes coming his way. The rookie wideout should be able to offer flex value for the upcoming Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson will return from his Week 9 bye week and face the Patriots in Week 10, and he makes a great option off the waiver wire if he's available in your league. The seventh-rounder out of Oregon has stepped up in the last few weeks with multiple Bucs receivers battling injury. While Chris Godwin Jr. (fibula) could be healthy for Week 10, Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck) will still be sidelined for a while, giving Johnson a chance to continue to establish himself as a secondary option to fellow rookie Emeka Egbuka. Johnson had at least four catches in three of his last four games before the bye week and had a pair of impressive touchdowns. He drew 15 targets in his last two games and continues to become a trusted option for QB Baker Mayfield. He brings a high ceiling and a solid floor in Week 11 against the Patriots.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Tez Johnson has strung together four straight games of at least 6.8 fantasy points in half-PPR formats. His early success came on the back of big plays, but he's now seen at least six targets in back-to-back games. While the Buccaneers' passing attack has struggled as a whole over the past two weeks, Johnson has managed a respectable nine catches for 101 yards and a score over that time. With the Buccaneers on a Week 9 bye and Chris Godwin nearing a return, there's a chance Johnson could be dropped this week, making him an intriguing add for those with the luxury of not needing an immediate plug-and-play starter. Brighter days should be ahead for the Buccaneers' passing attack, and Johnson looks as if he will be a major part of it.

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.
