Who Should I Start? Quentin Johnston or Dontayvion Wicks

Friday, October 17, 6:23 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (hamstring) is trending towards playing after missing last week due to a hamstring injury, logging a full practice on Friday. When healthy, Johnston has been productive, averaging 75.4 yards per game with 26 catches, 377 yards, and four touchdowns so far this season, with a 50% deep target rate. He now faces a weak Indianapolis Colts defense that ranks 22nd in Opponent Passing Yards per Game and has a banged-up secondary, which favors his downfield targets. Although his recent injury may have caused his ranking to decline, the high-scoring nature of this game should keep him heavily involved, especially in the red zone. RotoBaller projects Johnston as WR26 this week. If he is active, he should be considered a high-risk, high-reward WR3.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He is officially listed as questionable to return. The 24-year-old had two targets, one reception, and five yards at the time of his departure. The injury bug continues to be a factor for Wicks, who came into this week listed as questionable with an ankle injury. His absence will allow Malik Heath and Savion Williams to earn more snaps alongside Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs.
