Who Should I Start? Diontae Johnson or Quentin Johnston

Wednesday, November 20, 11:00 PM

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monkey acknowledged last week that the team has had a tough time finding ways to involve new wide receiver Diontae Johnson into their offense after acquiring him at the trade deadline from the Carolina Panthers. ESPN's Dan Graziano gets the sense that Baltimore considered Johnson too good of a player to pass on at the price that the Panthers were asking. He also gives the Ravens an option to use more three-receiver sets than they typically utilize if they want to go in that direction. Baltimore doesn't roll with many three-receiver sets, though, and aren't expected to have a major midseason scheme shakeup, which means that Johnson could just end up being a veteran insurance policy for top receiver Zay Flowers. He has only one catch on four targets for six yards in his three games with the Ravens and should be left on benches in Week 12 versus the Chargers.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston had a rough performance in a Week 12 loss against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Johnston was targeted five times and came up with zero catches for zero yards. Several of the balls thrown his way were placed perfectly by quarterback Justin Herbert, but Johnston regressed to his rookie year drop issues, where passes thrown right at his chest in clearly open ground with no defenders nearby turn into incomplete passes. Johnston was expected to have a big game, as the Ravens defense has struggled all year against similar wide receivers, but QJ ended up with a zero. He's almost sure to do a little better in Week 13 when the Chargers take on the Atlanta Falcons.
