Who Should I Start? Mike Williams or Quentin Johnston

Tuesday, September 26, 6:15 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers officially placed wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed receiver Simi Fehoko to the active roster from the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad in a corresponding move. The Bolts also signed safety AJ Finley to their practice squad. Williams suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee in the Week 3 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues can safely drop him now. The 28-year-old will finish 2023 with 19 catches on 26 targets for 249 yards and a touchdown in three games. With Williams now out, Joshua Palmer will be LA's No. 2 behind Keenan Allen, and first-round rookie wideout Quentin Johnston will also be thrust into a much bigger role moving forward.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston made just one catch in a Week 4 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The rookie pass catcher was targeted three times, including once in the end zone, making one catch for 18 yards. With Mike Williams (knee) out for the season, Josh Palmer ended up taking more of his role instead of the rookie Johnston. That may remain the case after the Chargers bye week, but we'll see if they choose to change things around with the extra practice time.
