Who Should I Start? Quentin Johnston or Matthew Golden

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston led his team in receiving yards for the second consecutive week and scored his third touchdown of the season in Monday night's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He caught three of his seven targets for 71 yards, highlighted by a 60-yard touchdown just before halftime. His 66.7% red-zone target share makes him a very strong option in the Chargers' improved passing attack. RotoBaller projects a favorable matchup if he faces Denver Broncos cornerback Riley Moss, despite the Broncos having one of the best secondaries in the league. RotoBaller ranks him as a low-end WR4 this week, but he should be startable in multi-flex or deeper leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden looks to take advantage of some injury-related shakeup in the receiving room as the Packers head to Cleveland to face the Browns in Week 3. Through two games, Golden hasn't done much to satisfy the hype of fantasy managers, with just two receptions for 16 yards in his first two NFL games. That said, Golden has been the recipient of several deep throws from quarterback Jordan Love that have just missed being huge plays. We'd be talking about Golden much favorably if those plays had gone the other way. For Week 3, Golden could get on track to deliver some fantasy value as the target tree shortens up a bit with Jayden Reed (clavicle, foot) out and Tucker Kraft (knee) banged up. Golden is still a risky boom-or-bust flex play this week for fantasy purposes.
