Scouting report

LAC WR Quentin Johnston - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The reality of Quentin Johnston is that he's the most likely Chargers receiver to score a touchdown and the coaches have done a great job of getting him in position to win after the catch. He may not be the dominant #1 receiver the Chargers hoped for, but he's very good in the role he has now.

The Bengals are 27th aFPA against receivers, so this is a great spot in theory for Johnston. He's more of a flex play this week, but the matchup is tough to beat. Especially on a bye week like this, you could do a lot worse.

LAC WR Quentin Johnston - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Tennessee Titans

The big plays continue to come every week for Quentin Johnston with one of the biggest turnarounds from Year 1 to Year 2 in recent memory. As a deep threat, he's never going to project great on just a few targets, but as he proved again last week on 5 targets he had 4 catches for 118 yards and a touchdown.

The Titans are 3rd aFPA against wide receivers this year so the ceiling is a little bit lower this week, but the big plays can still be had for Johnston. He's more of a flex option this week if you have a normal starter on bye, but you'll be hoping for a long touchdown.

LAC WR Quentin Johnston - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Denver Broncos

This is a tough matchup for Quentin Johnston and the Chargers passing attack, but now it is even more crowded as Joshua Palmer is returning. Denver is 1st aFPA against wide receivers which is not what you want to see if you have any Chargers receivers.

Combine the tough matchup, with the return of Palmer, and the always low-volume passing attack and I'd be looking elsewhere if I had Johnston. I'm sure this means he is going to have another 2 touchdown game now, but while he's in flex consideration, I would be looking elsewhere.

LAC WR Quentin Johnston - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Another week with low expectations for Quentin Johnston, another week with a broken coverage and a touchdown. Johnston only saw two targets last week and a broken coverage allowed him to get open for a touchdown, he finished with 2 catches for 27 yards.

While the Chiefs are easier to attack through the air, they are 13th aFPA against wide receivers, they are still a below-average matchup and going into the game with Taylor Heinicke instead of Justin Herbert doesn't help things. He ranks as WR59 and is not in starting consideration in any format this week.

LAC WR Quentin Johnston - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Was Week 2 a sign of things to come or a one-week wonder for Quentin Johnston? Most likely we know the answer. Johnston has been wildly inefficient and prone to drops for over a year now and one week likely isn't enough to change that.

However, he's at least on the flex radar this week. He's a back-end option as he checks in as WR47 in the rankings, but he's at least on the radar this week if you're desperate and spent some FAAB on him this week.

LAC WR Quentin Johnston - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Denver Broncos

In what became a truly dire game of football in reality and fantasy, Quentin Johnston did not disgrace himself in Week 13. He caught five of his seven targets for a career-high 52 yards, finishing with 7.7 Half-PPR points, "good" for WR38. This was much better than his seasonal average of 3.6 and ranking as WR93.

Johnston remains far too erratic a performer to trust in fantasy football, and a matchup against a Broncos team ranking fourth in aFPA to wide receivers makes him far from appealing in Week 14. He projects as a desperation WR5 at best.
