Who Should I Start? Quentin Johnston or Jordan Whittington

Sunday, January 11, 6:26 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston was on a fantasy rollercoaster throughout the 2025 regular season. Johnston started the year on a tear and finished on a high note, but in the middle of the year, his fantasy production took a large dip. The 24-year-old had 51 catches for 735 yards and eight touchdowns, missing three regular-season games due to injuries and being rested as a key starter in Week 18. Entering Wild Card Weekend, Johnston will face the New England Patriots. The Patriots' defense ranked near the middle of the league in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers in 2025, but they allowed the seventh-most touchdowns to the position. Johnston has had a knack for scoring touchdowns the last two seasons and has become a reliable red zone weapon for Justin Herbert. In a big game, Johnston will look to be a major contributor in the red zone.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (knee) is considered questionable for Saturday's Wild-Card playoff contest against the Carolina Panthers, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Whittington injured his knee in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and didn't practice at all this week, suggesting that he's unlikely to play this weekend. The 25-year-old has not been a big part of the offense all year long, catching only 18 passes for 171 yards and no touchdowns. The Rams will be getting Davante Adams (hamstring) back after he missed the final three games of the regular season, so there won't be a ton of WR targets to go around behind Adams and star wideout Puka Nacua against the Panthers. Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, and Tutu Atwell will be battling for scraps behind Adams and Nacua.
