Who Should I Start? Quentin Johnston or Parker Washington

Monday, December 29, 10:17 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston has had a rollercoaster 2025 season. After averaging 84.3 receiving yards per game and scoring four touchdowns over the first four weeks of the season, the 24-year-old averaged just 24.5 yards per game and scored two touchdowns over his next eight contests. However, Johnston appears to be re-emerging in recent weeks. Over his last two games, he's recorded nine receptions for 202 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets. Johnston remains a big-play threat, averaging 14.4 yards per reception for the season and 22.4 yards per reception over the last two weeks. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams where he remains available, Johnston could be a player to target on the waiver wire heading into his Week 18 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Parker Washington continues to dazzle of late, hauling in five of his nine targets in Week 18 for 87 yards and a touchdown. That now makes it three consecutive weeks that Washington has led the Jaguars in targets, and the second time he has scored in the past three weeks. Over the past three weeks, he has seen 29 targets, caught 19 of them, and has racked up 347 receiving yards. With quarterback Trevor Lawrence playing some of the best football of his career, Washington has stood out in a crowded, expansive receiver room that includes Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., and tight end Brenton Strange. The Jaguars just capped off a 2025 regular season, finishing 13-4 and winning the AFC South. Washington finished the regular season with 58 receptions, 847 yards, and five touchdowns, with a lot of his production coming in the past few weeks and when Thomas Jr. missed time earlier in the season.
