Who Should I Start? Quentin Johnston or Jalen McMillan

Tuesday, September 16, 9:57 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston led his team in receiving yards for the second straight week on Monday night against the Raiders and scored his third touchdown of the season. He hauled in three of his seven targets for 71 yards, highlighted by a 60-yard touchdown strike just after the two-minute warning in the first half. He tied with Keenan Allen for the team lead in targets and trailed just Allen and Ladd McConkey in receptions. Johnston has over 70 yards in each of the first two games of the season and has shown an ability to get into the end zone that makes him a very strong option in the Chargers' improved passing game. He's still available in almost half of fantasy leagues, and he's a nice waiver wire addition even though the Bolts have a tough matchup against the Broncos on a short week in Week 3.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) is currently on the Injured Reserve and eligible to return on October 5, as the Buccaneers will travel to take on the Seattle Seahawks. McMillan left Tampa Bay's exhibition in Pittsburgh on August 16 with what eventually was termed a strained neck. This injury has opened the door for rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka to be involved early on in the season, and he has not disappointed, hauling in three touchdowns in his first two career NFL games. McMillan had a nice rookie campaign in 2024, hauling in 37 of his 58 targets for 461 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. Before the draft, McMillan was lined up to be in the WR2 spot on the Bucs offense with Chris Godwin (foot) recovering from his injury. At this time, McMillan remains a dynasty stash and can be picked up off the waivers in leagues with deeper benches once he returns.
