Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Quentin Johnston

Monday, December 1, 5:26 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 21 times for 85 yards and caught three of his five targets for 36 yards in a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. Taylor was held out of the end zone for the second straight game, although he was able to offset that with a solid afternoon in the passing game. The veteran running back has been excellent this season, rushing for 1,282 yards while catching 35 passes for 304 yards and scoring 17 all-purpose touchdowns. He will remain a high-end RB1 in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited on Thursday due to a shoulder injury. Barring a setback at Saturday's practice, Johnston should be cleared to play in Week 14 against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. The 24-year-old found the end zone for the seventh time this year in Sunday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, but he had only three catches for 23 yards. Johnston scored four times in the first four games of 2025, but he's cooled off in the second half. He has been skunked twice in the last five weeks and has gone over 50 receiving yards just once in the last seven contests. The Eagles present a middle-of-the-road matchup for the Chargers' receivers, but with quarterback Justin Herbert trying to play through a broken left hand, Johnston is setting up as a boom/bust WR3/flex for fantasy managers.
