Who Should I Start? Garrett Wilson or Quentin Johnston

Friday, October 4, 5:00 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is off to a slow start in 2024, with just 20 catches for 191 yards and one touchdown through four games. He will look to bounce back in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings in London. The Vikings represent a plus matchup for Wilson as they are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts thus far. The Vikings also have a tough run defense, which should encourage the Jets to skew more pass-heavy as they look to bounce back from a 10-9 loss to the Denver Broncos last week. Until he shows a higher ceiling, Wilson is more of a WR2 in fantasy than a WR1 but he should still be in starting lineups in what is a great matchup for him. Fantasy gamers relying on Jets and Vikings players will want to set their lineups early as the London game kicks off at 9:30 AM EST on Sunday.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston put up a dud in a Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He was targeted five times, the second most on the team, but was only able to come up with one catch for a nine yard gain. He added a rushing play in which he gained four yards on the ground. Johnston came into this game as the overall WR21, having scored three touchdowns in the past two games. This one was a little different, as he totaled less than two fantasy points in standard scoring and half-PPR formats. The Chargers actually threw the ball more times than they ran it for the first time this season, but Johnston just wasn't able to do much with the balls thrown his way. The Bolts will head into their Week 5 bye and will take on the Broncos in Denver in Week 6. Johnston should remain a large part of the passing game, but this was quite a dud for fantasy managers expecting to see his touchdown streak continue.
