Who Should I Start? Quentin Johnston or Chimere Dike

Friday, October 24, 9:29 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnson did not see a target in Thursday night's 37-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Johnston has trended in the wrong direction after a remarkable first four games of the season, catching 22 of 36 targets for 337 yards and four touchdowns. The third-year wide receiver missed Week 6, but he has totaled just six catches on 10 targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in three games since, with Week 8 marking the low point. It was the first game of his career in which he was held without a target and the third game without a reception. The emergence of rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden has made it difficult for all the Chargers' pass catchers to be involved consistently, and Johnston may be the odd man out. He'll look to bounce back in Week 9 when the Chargers go on the road to face the Tennessee Titans.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike came out of nowhere and posted a solid game against the New England Patriots last week. Before that game, Dike was held to two receptions or less and 17 or fewer receiving yards in every game. The rookie wideout hauled in all four of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Titans are once again going to be without top receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) this weekend. That means, Dike figures to have an increased role against the Indianapolis Colts. Possibly, Dike was a one-hit wonder, but he could offer flex appeal in certain formats this weekend.
