Quentin Johnston Off Fantasy Radar in All Formats vs. Seahawks

Saturday, October 3, 5:31 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wideout Quentin Johnston has seen his fantasy stock drop each week this season. Johnston hasn't taken advantage statistically of Ladd McConkey (foot) playing through injuries, while Tre Harris has shown flashes. However, the Chargers could be without McConkey on Sunday, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. McConkey missed one practice and logged two limited sessions during the week. Johnston enters Week 4 as RotoBaller's PPR WR63 in a tough matchup. The Seahawks defense has allowed the fewest receiving yards, receiving yards per reception, receiving plays over 20-plus yards, and receiving yards over 40 yards. Johnston should be viewed as a WR5 at best and should be out of fantasy lineups in Week 4. If he doesn't improve his play, Johnston could be surpassed by Harris in the Chargers target pecking order.

Jayden Reed News

Jayden Reed Having Season-Ending Neck Surgery

Wednesday, September 30, 8:54 AM

Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Jayden Reed (neck) is having surgery on his neck and will miss the rest of the season, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Reed was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. It is obviously bad news for Reed and the struggling Packers offense, but LaFleur said he does not think the injury will end Reed's career. The 26-year-old former second-rounder from Michigan State had a nose for the end zone in his first two NFL seasons, combining for 17 touchdowns (14 receiving, three rushing) in 2023 and 2024, but he played in only seven games last year due to injuries and is now out for the season. Reed will be hard to trust as a fantasy wideout going into the 2027 campaign as he embarks on a long rehab after neck surgery. In two games played in 2026 before injuring his neck, Reed caught four of his eight targets for 24 yards for the Packers. His absence for the rest of the season will only fuel second-year pass-catcher Matthew Golden's breakout potential.
