Tez Johnson, the dynamic wide receiver from Oregon, was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the seventh round (235th overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft.  Known for his explosive playmaking ability, Johnson brings a wealth of experience and versatility to the Buccaneers crowded receiving corp.  Over his collegiate career at Troy and Oregon, he recorded 310 receptions for 3,889 yards and 28 touchdowns across 62 games.

Johnson’s draft stock declined at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine.  Johnson weighed in at 154 pounds, the lightest of any participant that year.  He ran a 4.55-second 40-yard dash, which was slower than expected for a player of his size.  Despite these concerns, he did post the best three-cone drill time among all receivers, highlighting his agility and quickness.

In fantasy football, Johnson’s value will depend on his ability to carve out a role in the Buccaneers offense.  His quickness and agility make him a potential asset in PPR formats, especially if he secures a role in the slot receiver position.  However, his small frame and lack of elite speed may limit his upside.  Fantasy managers should monitor his progress during training camp and preseason to assess his potential role and value for the upcoming season.
