Who Should I Start? Quentin Johnston or Ashton Jeanty

Tuesday, September 9, 11:25 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston put up a big performance in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, recording five catches for 79 yards and two touchdowns. Johnston is a priority waiver-wire pickup for fantasy managers heading into his Week 2 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. The 24-year-old has been an inconsistent player through his first two-plus NFL seasons, but he's still a former first-round pick with high-upside physical traits. With 10 touchdowns in his last 16 games played, Johnston has also proven to be a solid end-zone target for Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. Johnston should be added in all fantasy leagues with 10 or more teams.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty's NFL career started with a victory, though his efforts had little to do with the outcome. The Boise State product had 38 rushing yards on 19 carries and two receiving yards on two catches in the Raiders' 20-13 win over the Patriots in their 2025 season opener. Despite the disappointing stat line, fantasy managers should be encouraged by Jeanty's usage. The highly-touted rookie dominated the backfield opportunities, not only taking the lion's share of rushing attempts but finishing with an 86% snap share. Fantasy managers who took a chance on the sixth-overall pick from the NFL Draft might have to wait a bit longer before their investment pays off. Jeanty has a challenging matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2.
