Tez Johnson's fantasy role in Week 10
Tez Johnson goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a deep-league WR flyer for the TB. He is rostered in 4% of leagues and actually started in 1% of them, and we rank him WR71 on our own weekly board at 3.3 projected points.
Interest is cooling — roster rates slipped roughly 1% in the last week, so he is getting cheaper to acquire if you believe in the role.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.

How to play it
Tez Johnson is on bye in Week 10 — replace him and revisit next week.
Use the waiver wire for a one-week plug and keep him on your bench if you are otherwise healthy at WR.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Tez Johnson (TB WR), our WR71 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 3.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 6.7 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. The projection sits about 67% under what a startable WR returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Tez Johnson (TB WR), our WR71 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 3.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 6.7 points of shortfall. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. 1% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
