Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Quentin Johnston

Sunday, November 9, 11:41 AM

New York Jets wide receivers Allen Lazard and Adonai Mitchell are both healthy inactives for the team's Week 10 contest on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Despite Josh Reynolds (hip) being on Injured Reserve, Lazard will sit out coming out of the team's bye week. The 29-year-old caught just one of his two targets for five yards in the Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, and he has only seven catches for 45 yards and a touchdown in 2025 with the Jets. Mitchell was acquired from the Indianapolis Colts at Tuesday's trade deadline in the deal that sent All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Colts, but the Jets don't think he's ready to contribute on offense just yet. John Metchie III, who was acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles last week, is active, though, and could be battling for WR2 duties behind Wilson in his debut with the team.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston led the team with 10 targets on Sunday night, catching five passes for 42 yards in the 25-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although his stat line wasn't eye-popping, the volume is encouraging. His longest catch was only 15 yards, as a heavily pressured Justin Herbert mainly relied on quick throws behind a battered offensive line all night. In Week 11, Johnston faces a favorable matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have allowed the ninth-most passing yards and the fourth-most receiving touchdowns this season. They have also given up 31 receptions of 20 yards or more, which could benefit Johnston. With rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden (quad) day-to-day, Johnston could see more red-zone and deep-shot targets. He remains a boom-or-bust WR3/FLEX option with upside in this matchup.
