Quentin Johnston an Uninspiring Deep League Desperation Option in Week 9 vs. Texans

Saturday, November 7, 7:54 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wideout Quentin Johnston has posted a disappointing season through the first half of the year. Johnston is the PPR WR85 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 4.4 points per game. As a result, Johnston enters Week 9 as RotoBaller's PPR WR59 despite an intriguing matchup against the Houston Texans. The Texans defense has allowed the third-most 20-plus-yard passing plays and the ninth-most yards per reception. In addition, Johnston will likely avoid being shadowed by Derek Stingley Jr. The Texans have mainly kept Stingley on one side of the field rather than having him shadow opposing wide receivers. Johnston is a desperation dart throw this week for managers who are battling injuries and bye weeks. However, he will need to connect with Justin Herbert on a few big plays to be fantasy-viable on Sunday.

Caleb Douglas News

Caleb Douglas Leads the Way for Miami in Week 9

Sunday, November 8, 2:53 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Caleb Douglas caught six of his eight targets for 70 yards during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the Detroit Lions. Miami fell to 1-7 with the defeat, but to their credit, they have been able to support some mid-range fantasy performances throughout the season. Douglas falls under that umbrella, averaging 14.1 PPR points per game over the last three weeks. During that three-game span, he has 17 targets, 12 catches, 183 yards, and a pair of touchdowns. The rookie seems to have taken over as Malik Willis' favorite receiver; not only has he led the team in targets each of the last two weeks, but he has also played at least 73.6% of the snaps in each of his last two games. Managers should feel comfortable rolling out Douglas as a high-end WR3/flex, especially with a more favorable matchup against the Colts in Week 10.
