Who Should I Start? Quentin Johnston or Dontayvion Wicks

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston has plenty of upside in a Week 12 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Johnston set a new season-high last week with eight targets, tying him for the team lead with Ladd McConkey. McConkey is questionable with a shoulder injury, and while he seems likely to play, Johnston would have even more upside if his fellow wide out were forced to miss the game. Johnston, who plays the perimeter role on the Chargers offense, could have a huge game since the Ravens secondary has allowed the most fantasy points and receiving yards to outside wide receivers. He's a fairly safe WR3 with a lot more upside than most of the guys ranked around him.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks should be left on all benches in Week 12 when the Packers face the San Francisco 49ers. Wicks has not caught a pass in each of the past two games and has averaged just 2.0 targets during this span. Wicks has only surpassed double-digit PPR points on three occasions this season but fell below 7.0 PPR points in each of the other seven contests. Playing in a crowded Green Bay wide receiver room, Wicks has shown flashes of potential at times but has been unable to see a consistent dose of targets. As a result, fantasy managers in all formats should keep Wicks on their bench. However, managers in deeper formats should continue to stash Wicks on their roster as he could find a path to fantasy stardom if he can find his way toward the top of the depth chart down the stretch.
