Who Should I Start? Darius Slayton or Quentin Johnston

Friday, November 14, 2:59 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is one of three Giants players to have already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 11 matchup with the Packers, along with quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion). With Mike Kafka serving as interim head coach following the Monday firing of Brian Daboll, the team has already announced plans to start journeyman quarterback Jameis Winston, but who he will be throwing to is now another question entirely. Receiver Wan'Dale Robinson and tight end Theo Johnson suddenly become very interesting plays for fantasy managers willing to roll the dice and shoot for upside. Even against a Packers' pass defense that has been suffocating at times, Winston's propensity to hyper-target his top pass catchers and willingness to throw into windows that most quarterbacks would not, is a recipe for fantasy fireworks.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (shin) is officially active for Sunday's game on the road in Jacksonville against the Jaguars in Week 11. Johnston was officially listed as questionable to play this weekend, but he has been cleared and will be active against Jacksonville. The 24-year-old former first-rounder did most of his damage this year earlier in the season when Ladd McConkey was quiet, but he has remained involved in the Chargers' passing attack. In last week's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Johnston saw 10 targets, the second time this season he's had double-digit targets in a game. Through nine games in 2025, Johnston has 37 receptions for 502 yards and six touchdowns on 62 targets for the Bolts. Against the pass-funnel Jaguars defense, Johnston is a viable WR3/flex with boom potential for fantasy managers.
