After Scoring Twice Week 2, Hunter Renfrow in Line for More Work?

Monday, September 15, 4:22 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Hunter Renfrow found the endzone twice in the team's 25-22 loss on Sunday. With the Panthers going down by 24 points in the second half of Week 2, they were forced to abandon the run and turn to the passing game. Hunter Renfrow was a huge part of the comeback, tying for second on the team with nine targets, just one shy of leader Tetairoa McMillan. Operating as a security blanket for Bryce Young, Renfrow caught seven passes for 48 yards and two touchdowns in the 27-22 loss. The seven catches and nine targets were encouraging, but even more so was the trust Young showed in Renfrow in the red zone. Although it's hard to say whether he will continue to be a staple in this offense, the lack of wide receiver depth behind McMillan is an encouraging sign. In Week 3, the Panthers will host the Atlanta Falcons, who just held the Minnesota Vikings to 120 passing yards on Sunday night. In PPR leagues, if you need wide receiver help and have a spot on your bench, it would be wise to add Renfrow. Do not use a waiver on Renfrow, but he would be an excellent free agent pickup if he goes unclaimed.

Quentin Johnston Looking to Maintain Positive Momentum Heading into Week 2

Wednesday, September 10, 11:36 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston was one of the surprise stars of Week 1, recording five catches for 79 yards and two touchdowns in his team's victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The 24-year-old will now look to build on the momentum from that performance in Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Johnston finished third on the Chargers in targets in Week 1 behind fellow wideouts Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen, which is a trend that figures to continue going forward as long as all three are healthy. The Raiders' defense forced its Week 1 opponent, the New England Patriots, into a pass-heavy game script with Pats quarterback Drake Maye attempting 46 passes. The Chargers should have more success on the ground, but a pass-heavy approach would significantly improve Johnston's chances for fantasy success. He profiles as a low-end WR4/flex option in Week 2.
