Scouting report

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.

LAC WR Quentin Johnston - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at New England Patriots

Quentin Johnston's rookie season from hell continued in Week 12, with the Ravens allowing him to catch one of his three targets for seven yards. Johnston's 1.2 Half-PPR points saw him finish outside the top 100 wide receivers last week.

The Patriots are not exactly a shutdown unit for wide receivers this season, but Johnston has done so little all year that expecting big things from him has become a pathway of folly. It could be asked why you need him on your bench at this point of the season, let alone if you should be starting him.

LAC WR Quentin Johnston - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Baltimore Ravens

Quentin Johnston's rookie season continues to be one of lowlights and missteps, never more evident than against the Packers in Week 11. He drew six targets, but could only reel in two for 21 yards. He let a potential 70-yard touchdown fall through his hands with the game on the line, a big part of why he only managed 3.1 Half PPR points.

The matchup against the Ravens is far from an appealing one, with the Ravens ranking third in aFPA to wide receivers. But Johnston has done so little to justify any benefit of any doubt ahead of any matchup that it would be folly to start him and expect anything. If he goes off on your bench this week, then you can shrug and know that you followed the process.

LAC WR Quentin Johnston - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Green Bay Packers

Quentin Johnston showed some flashes in Week 10, chipping in with 11.4 Half-PPR points against the Lions. This was a massive improvement on his season average of 3.5, which trails 102 other wide receivers in points per game in 2023.

We shouldn't expect too much more than this from Johnston this week, given the tough matchup and his own inconsistency. He's a desperation WR5 play this week, and unlikely to be much more than that.

LAC WR Quentin Johnston - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Detroit Lions

Quentin Johnson has still not really got going this season, with just 14 receptions for 128 scoreless yards. He has a single game with more than 2.6 Half-PPR points this season. He may need to start stepping up, with fellow wideouts Mike Williams and Josh Palmer both sidelined. But the fantasy hopes are not high.

This is even the case when Johnston has a fairly friendly matchup, like his one in Week 10. The Lions rank 20th in aFPA to wide receivers, but until we see Johnston do something, you don't need to start him in fantasy football.

LAC WR Quentin Johnston - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Dallas Cowboys

It's been a slow start to the NFL career of Quentin Johnston. He has no more than two receptions in a single game, and his career-high in single-game yardage is just 18. 124 wide receivers have scored more Half-PPR points than the rookie so far this season.

Wide receivers have not enjoyed much success against the Cowboys in 2023, with Dan Quinn's charges ranking 9th in aFPA to the position. If fantasy managers are expecting a post-bye rookie bump from Johnston, Week 6 might not be the best time to expect it. He's not projected to do too much this week.
