Who Should I Start? Jahan Dotson or Quentin Johnston

Saturday, November 8, 12:32 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson remains third on the depth chart with a low floor heading into Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers, but his ability to deliver big plays can't be ignored. The 25-year-old has three catches over his last four games, and each of them went for at least 17 yards. The highlight of his year so far was a 40-yard touchdown in the Eagles' last game against the New York Giants. Dotson is targeted far less than A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert, but we can't rule out Jalen Hurts throwing the ball his way a few times, especially if the Eagles find themselves in a stalemate with the Packers and need a spark. With that said, there's a lot of risk here, and Dotson's low floor outweighs his chance of making a big play. He can be left on waivers in fantasy leagues with 14 or fewer teams.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston bounced back from a zero-target performance by catching four passes for 53 yards and a touchdown against the Tennessee Titans. This week, he faces a vulnerable Pittsburgh Steelers defense that ranks 27th in allowing deep passes (20+ yards), which fits Johnston's downfield role. However, he is likely to have a tough matchup against Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr., who is giving up one of the fewest fantasy points per route run in the league (0.15). Johnston's role in the offense remains unpredictable due to the rotating group of pass-catchers, including emerging rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden. His value heavily depends on game script, since it relies on the offense creating opportunities down the field or near the goal line. Johnston should be considered a boom/bust FLEX option, projected as WR26 this week.
