Who Should I Start? Quentin Johnston or De'Von Achane

Sunday, October 12, 12:14 AM

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (hamstring) is trending toward being inactive for Sunday's road meeting with the Miami Dolphins. Johnston picked up a hamstring injury that limited him at practice leading up to Sunday's outing, leaving him with a questionable tag. However, it appears he won't be healthy enough to suit up against the hosting Dolphins. Fellow wideouts Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey figure to pick up a few extra looks in his absence, while rookies Tre Harris and Keandre Lambert-Smith should benefit from an uptick in snaps. Tight end Oronde Gadsden could also be in for an elevated workload with Johnston sidelined.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of the best running backs all season, despite his team's offense running hot and cold. Achane hasn't run for 100 yards in any game, but he has supplemented with great production in the passing game. He has at least six catches in three of his last four games after hauling in six of his seven targets for 30 yards and a touchdown last week. He has four total touchdowns in five games while averaging 65.5 rushing yards and 34.6 passing yards per contest. This week, he and the Dolphins will take on the Chargers, who have been very good against the run this season, but did give up two running back touchdowns and 124 rushing yards against the Commanders. Achane's consistently high volume and big-play ability have kept him an elite RB1 in every matchup. In RotoBaller's Week 6 rankings, he is the No. 3 RB in PPR leagues and the No. 8 RB in standard leagues.
