#Bucs QB Baker Mayfield on WR Tez Johnson doing a flip after his TD:

“I mean, if I weighed 142 pounds, I’d probably be able to fly too — but I haven’t weighed that since 6th grade.”

Here's a guy I think everyone needs to keep an eye on in tomorrow's Eagles/Bucs game... his name is Tez Johnson!

I know he doesn't have a catch this season, but with the Bucs injuries at WR, look for him to make an impact!

Tez Johnson isn’t playing like a rookie and he can help the Bucs win more games

 

[rockaction]

If you want to laugh and smile a bit over a young guy being totally earnest and emotionally vulnerable then you would do yourself a solid to check the link at the bottom of this post out.

He didn’t post a great time in the forty (to say the least for his size), but it’s said all he did was get open at Oregon.

Just hoping he has a heck of a career.

Any thoughts on the kind of run he might get on mnf if Egbuka is out? Liked his catch last week.

Tez Johnson was a better receiver in college last year than Egbuka

As far as production goes yes, Tez was 2nd team All Big 10 and Egbuka was 3rd team. I watched Tez in every game the past two years and he is very solid.

He seems to be an exciting player, but may disappear as the Bucs receivers get healthy.

 

[Grahamburn]

Tez is small. Like, barely 165 pounds even if he had a huge meal. And then he ran 4.5 at the combine so he dropped.

His lateral quickness and agility are what make him a good receiver.

It’s hard to know exactly what to expect. He had a couple nice grabs against Seattle. Then the big TD against SF.

Mike is back this week.

If both Evans and Egbuka play, does Tez slide in as the slot WR or Shep?

 

[Faust]

@NoFilm_Analysis
#Buccaneers WR Tez Johnson is a lot better than a 7th rd pick and will finally have the opportunity to prove his worth.

He ranked 1st in the draft class in receiving yards, YAC, and avoided tackles. Ranked 2nd receptions and Yards Per Route. WR10 in my predictive draft model.

Shep will be WR 3

 

[ShamrockPride]

2 straight with a TD. Showed some elite-tier evasiveness on the TD.

He may never be a high workload guy with his stature, but they'd be silly to not keep feeding him while he's hot.

Nathan Jahnke, PFF: NFL Week 7 Recap: Immediate fantasy football takeaways from the Monday Night Football doubleheader

Monitor Mike Evans’ health: The Buccaneers wide receiver suffered a concussion and a shoulder injury in the second quarter, and the team quickly ruled him out.


Injuries have been a problem for the Buccaneers’ wide receivers all season. Chris Godwin didn’t make his debut until Week 4, suffered a fibula injury in Week 5 and has missed the past two games. He didn’t practice all week. Jalen McMillan suffered a neck injury in the preseason and has yet to make his 2025 regular-season debut.

However, there was some good news leading up to the game. Evans was back up the lineup after missing three straight games with a hamstring injury. Emeka Egbuka seemed unlikely to play this week with a hamstring injury, and while he didn’t practice Thursday and Friday, he was surprisingly limited in practice Saturday. It was announced hourts before kickoff that Egbuka would play.

Evans played 14 of a possible 19 snaps before his new injuries, returning to his usual role as the Buccaneers’ X receiver. Egbuka was on more of a snap count, playing 11 of the first 19 snaps and a little more frequently on later downs. Egbuka started the season as the Buccaneers’ Z receiver but moved to X following Evans’ injury. He was back to Z to start this game. Sterling Shepard was the third wide receiver in three-receiver sets, as he’s done all season, with Tez Johnson rotating with Egbuka [at Z] and Kameron Johnson taking a few snaps for Evans [at X]. Ryan Miller oddly received the start but was on the bottom of the depth chart.

After Evans’ injury, Egbuka moved back to the X receiver spot. Tez Johnson became the second primary receiver, playing more frequently. That matched how the Buccaneers handled Week 6 before Egbuka’s injury. The rookie continued to be rotated out more than we’re used to — but less than he was during the first few drives.

Head coach Todd Bowles reported after the game that Evans broke his collarbone, which could keep him out for most of the season, if not all of it. This makes the Buccaneers' wide receiver rotation more straightforward. Egbuka will likely be the team's X receiver for the rest of the year or until Evans is back. Godwin will handle the Z receiver role once he returns from injury, and when McMillan rejoins the team, he will likely be the Z receiver in three-receiver sets, with Godwin moving to the slot.

In the short term, Tez Johnson is a fine desperation waiver-wire pickup in case Godwin misses Week 8. The Buccaneers have their bye in Week 9, making it more likely that they will give Godwin another two weeks to recover. Tight end Cade Otton is also a fine waiver-wire option until the wide receiver room is healthier.

Tez was 3rd on the team in snaps/routes run/targets. For the next few weeks as long as Godwin is out he's got a real opportunity. Of course, he'll also make great trade bait in Fantasy.
