Quentin Johnston News
Monday, November 9, 10:09 AM
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston scored his first touchdown of the season Sunday, taking a short pass from Justin Herbert 58 yards against Houston. It was his only catch on four targets. Three receptions of at least 44 yards account for 159 of his 260 receiving yards this season. Rostered in 31% of Yahoo leagues, Johnston is worth a low-cost bench claim in 12-team half-PPR leagues that start three receivers. Ladd McConkey (back) was active but never took a snap after experiencing spasms during warmups. Johnston still drew the same four targets he saw with McConkey in the lineup against the Rams a week earlier. Tre' Harris drew a team-high seven targets against Houston after seeing three against the Rams. Harris and Johnston each played 60 offensive snaps on Sunday. Herbert injured the middle finger on his non-throwing hand in the fourth quarter and said he plans to play Monday night at Baltimore. Backup DJ Uiagalelei targeted Harris on two of his seven passes in relief and did not throw to Johnston.

Brian Thomas Jr. News
Tuesday, November 10, 2:12 PM
The Pittsburgh Steelers had discussions about a trade for Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., Indianapolis Colts receiver Josh Downs, and Tennessee Titans receiver Calvin Ridley, sources told Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Thomas and Ridley were not traded at Tuesday's NFL deadline, while Downs was sent to the Kansas City Chiefs. Thomas was a popular name leading up to the deadline, but the Jaguars never seemed all that interested in trading the former first-rounder despite him falling out of favor in the passing game in 2026 in his third year in the league. Instead of sending the 24-year-old pass-catcher away, the Jaguars sent plenty of draft capital to the Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons, and New Orleans Saints on Monday for defensive tackle Jordan Davis, defensive back Jessie Bates III, and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, respectively. Fantasy managers still holding Thomas would have preferred he be traded out of town after catching only 10 passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns in the first eight games of 2026. In the last four games, Thomas has put up three donuts for fantasy managers and has caught just one pass on seven targets for 12 yards. Thomas is impossible to trust in starting fantasy lineups in Week 10 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans.
