Fantasy Football: 4 Wide Receivers To Replace Mike Evans In Your Lineup

1. Tez Johnson, Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are one of the most injury-plagued teams in football, and undrafted free agent Tez Johnson could rise from the ashes. While he won’t win MVP, he has what it takes to be a fill-in for Mike Evans in your fantasy football lineup. The rookie had another strong performance in Week 7, hauling in four receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown on nine targets.

Johnson looks like he can play in the NFL, and Tampa Bay needs someone to step up at the wide receiver position. Evans and Chris Godwin are both battling serious injuries, while first-round phenom Emeka Egbuka is dealing with a hamstring injury of his own. Johnson and quarterback Baker Mayfield have a good rapport, and Johnson should continue putting up solid numbers for this high-octane passing attack.
