Who Should I Start? D.K. Metcalf or Quentin Johnston

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was quiet in a Week 12 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Metcalf caught four passes for 59 yards on five targets. Since his return from an MCL sprain in Week 11, Metcalf has not produced the high-end numbers fantasy managers are accustomed to. Additionally, fellow wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has emerged as an excellent weapon for the Seahawks and quarterback Geno Smith. Still, Metcalf's talent is too strong to ignore. He is unlikely to stay quiet for long. This is especially true considering that the Seahawks are entering a stretch run of the season in which they have a chance to take control of the NFC West. They do not have an egregious schedule for wide receivers ahead and should be able to produce solid numbers in the passing game. It is only a matter of time before Metcalf finds his way back into the high-end WR2 conversation.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston has plenty of upside in a Week 12 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Johnston set a new season-high last week with eight targets, tying him for the team lead with Ladd McConkey. McConkey is questionable with a shoulder injury, and while he seems likely to play, Johnston would have even more upside if his fellow wide out were forced to miss the game. Johnston, who plays the perimeter role on the Chargers offense, could have a huge game since the Ravens secondary has allowed the most fantasy points and receiving yards to outside wide receivers. He's a fairly safe WR3 with a lot more upside than most of the guys ranked around him.
