Who Should I Start? Hunter Renfrow or Quentin Johnston

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Hunter Renfrow had seven catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 2 loss to the Cardinals. However, outside of that performance, he hasn't done much, most recently catching one pass for seven yards in the Week 5 win over the Dolphins. Xavier Legette found the end zone in that one, so his stock is higher heading into the Week 6 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys, especially with Jalen Coker (quadriceps) unable to make his professional debut. All things considered, none of the Panthers' wideouts can be trusted. Although Tetairoa McMillan should still draw starting consideration versus a weak Cowboys defense, the same can't be said for Renfrow, even if Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) doesn't suit up.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (hamstring) upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Johnston was unable to play in the team's Week 6 win over the Miami Dolphins, but he's trending toward returning a week later to face the Indianapolis Colts now that he has returned to a full practice participant. That would be bad news for both Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey in L.A.'s passing attack. Johnston cooled off in Week 5, but he still leads the Bolts in receiving yards (377) and touchdowns (four) on 26 receptions in his five games played. The former first-rounder has really taken the next step in his development in 2025 and has really improved his chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert deep down the field. If Johnston returns on Sunday, he'll be an upside WR3 play in fantasy.
