Quentin Johnston Trending Towards Playing in Week 7

Friday, October 17, 6:23 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (hamstring) is trending towards playing after missing last week due to a hamstring injury, logging a full practice on Friday. When healthy, Johnston has been productive, averaging 75.4 yards per game with 26 catches, 377 yards, and four touchdowns so far this season, with a 50% deep target rate. He now faces a weak Indianapolis Colts defense that ranks 22nd in Opponent Passing Yards per Game and has a banged-up secondary, which favors his downfield targets. Although his recent injury may have caused his ranking to decline, the high-scoring nature of this game should keep him heavily involved, especially in the red zone. RotoBaller projects Johnston as WR26 this week. If he is active, he should be considered a high-risk, high-reward WR3.

Xavier Legette Remains Tough to Trust in Week 6

Saturday, October 11, 12:58 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette returned in Week 5 from a hamstring injury that cost him two games and recorded two catches for 31 yards and a touchdown on three targets against the Miami Dolphins. Legette now has six catches for 39 yards and a score on 18 targets across three games this season. The Panthers have a favorable matchup on paper in Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys, who allowed the most passing yards (1,520) and second-most passing touchdowns (12) in the NFL through the first five weeks of the season. Still, Legette's role in the Panthers' offense and his ability to produce are not secure enough to make him a trustworthy fantasy wide receiver. Additionally, Legette could have additional target competition in Week 6 with Panthers wideout Jalen Coker (quad) potentially set to return from Injured Reserve for his season debut. Legette should be avoided by fantasy managers against Dallas in Week 6.
