Who Should I Start? Quentin Johnston or Keon Coleman

Friday, October 3, 6:25 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston is now firmly established as the team's top wideout entering Week 5, leading in targets, receiving yards, and touchdowns. The former first-round pick was one of the few bright spots in the team's first loss to the New York Giants, catching eight of 11 targets for 98 yards and his fourth touchdown of the season. Johnston now faces a vulnerable Washington Commanders secondary in a prime home matchup. He is expected to draw coverage from CB Marshon Lattimore, but the Commanders' overall passing defense has been significantly exposed, ranking 27th in the NFL in passing yards allowed. RotoBaller upgrades Johnston to WR12 this week. Given his target volume and big-play ability, he is a borderline WR1 and a must-start in all formats.

Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman may lead the team in total targets through four weeks, but that number is misleading, as nearly half of those opportunities came in the season opener. Since Week 1, Coleman has settled into a smaller role, recording just three catches on four targets in each of the last three games. While he has been reliable when called upon, his inability to create big gains after the catch has limited his fantasy impact. For now, Coleman is best left on benches in most formats, with only low-end flex appeal if his target share rebounds. Fantasy managers should monitor his usage closely in Week 5, but until he's featured more consistently in the passing game, his value remains capped.
