Quentin Johnston Scores Again, WR No. 3 on the Year

Tuesday, September 30, 12:42 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston was one of the few bright spots in the team's 21-18 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday. He continued to deliver, leading the team with eight catches on 13 targets for 98 yards while scoring his fourth touchdown of the season. Johnston is now the WR3 overall in PPR formats, becoming the breakout star fantasy managers hoped for when he was drafted in the first round in 2023. His size and downfield ability make him Justin Herbert's top big-play target so far this season. Johnston now faces a Washington Commanders' defense that has struggled against the pass, setting up another big opportunity for the wideout. With consistent volume and scoring upside, Johnston should be treated as a strong WR2 with WR1 potential in Week 5.

Rookie Jayden Higgins Sliding Off the Fantasy Radar

Friday, September 26, 7:53 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins was the No. 34 pick in the NFL Draft, but he hasn't been able to carve out a large enough role in his team's struggling offense to be a fantasy factor. Higgins has only four catches on five targets for 65 yards through his first three games with the Texans. With Nico Collins (knee) off the injury report and Christian Kirk also back after missing two games, the Texans' rookie doesn't have any clear path to playing time. Last week against the Jaguars, he played 44% of snaps, only the fourth-highest mark among receivers. He only drew one target in all those snaps, though, coming down with a 28-yard catch. He does have potential and big-play ability, and he could develop down the road, but this week he dropped all the way down to RotoBaller's WR77, making him an afterthought at this point in standard redraft leagues.
