Tez Johnson vs. Falcons — Deep-League Dart Throw With Shorthanded Receiving Corps

Johnson enters Week 8 in line for an elevated snap share with top wideout Emeka Egbuka ruled out due to injury. Listed on the depth chart alongside Chris Godwin and Ted Hurst III, the second-year receiver has shown big-play ability, catching four of five targets for 40 yards and a score over his last two outings.

While his roster rate has ticked up to 9% as managers hunt for upside, Johnson remains a speculative deep-league play in a projected low-scoring division matchup against Atlanta. Our weekly projection lands him at 7.4 fantasy points with roughly 31 yards on two to three targets, making him primarily a touchdown-dependent flex or DFS flier.

Outlook Denzel Boston

Denzel Boston at Pittsburgh — Volatile Flex Test in Gritty Divisional Battle

The rookie wideout is entrenched as a starter on the outside alongside Jerry Jeudy and KC Concepcion Jr., but his production has cooled off after a scorching early-season stretch. While Boston commands steady defensive attention and saw 13 targets over his last two contests, low catch efficiency has kept his yardage suppressed.

Facing a tough divisional road tilt against Pittsburgh in a projected low-scoring environment, Boston remains a volatile flex option. Our projections anticipate roughly 51 receiving yards on six targets, giving him upside if he connects on a deep shot, but his 46% start rate reflects caution among fantasy managers.
