Who Should I Start? Quentin Johnston or Mason Taylor

Monday, November 3, 5:11 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston bounced back on Sunday in the team's 27-20 win over the Tennessee Titans, catching four passes for 53 yards and a touchdown, his sixth of the season. After not being targeted last week, Johnston was quickly integrated into the game plan and made the most of his opportunities. However, the Chargers' offensive line remains a major concern after losing Joe Alt (ankle) for the season and surrendering six sacks to a short-handed Titans defense. Next week, the Bolts face a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has been vulnerable all season but recently held the red-hot Indianapolis Colts in check. Johnston remains a volatile WR3 with touchdown upside if Herbert can avoid pressure and connect with him downfield.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor is one of the best waiver wire pickups available this week, as he and the Jets return from their bye week. The second-round rookie went into the off week on a high note by snagging the game-winning pass (from RB Breece Hall) against the Bengals to secure the team's first win of the year. Taylor had five catches on eight targets in that game for 34 yards. He had at least three catches in five of his last six games before the bye, and posted over 60 yards in two of those games as well. The Jets could get Garrett Wilson (knee) back after a two-game absence, but even if that costs Taylor some targets, it raises the overall ceiling of the offense enough to still be a good thing for Taylor. While his quarterback play from Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor has held him back, he's getting enough volume to be a good waiver wire add ahead of a stretch of favorable matchups against the Browns, Patriots, and Ravens in the next three weeks. He also has good fantasy football playoff matchups against the Dolphins, Jaguars, Saints, and Patriots for the final four games of the season.
