Isaac TeSlaa has the higher floor (1.3) — the safer start if you are favoured.
Tez Johnson has the higher ceiling (8.7) — the play if you need points.
Isaac TeSlaa is steady — about 17% less volatile week to week than a typical WR projected here — higher floor, lower ceiling.
Isaac TeSlaa faces MIN, 29th most generous to WRs.
Tez Johnson faces ATL, 16th most generous to WRs.
