Who Should I Start? Quentin Johnston or Xavier Worthy

Tuesday, September 9, 11:25 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston put up a big performance in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, recording five catches for 79 yards and two touchdowns. Johnston is a priority waiver-wire pickup for fantasy managers heading into his Week 2 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. The 24-year-old has been an inconsistent player through his first two-plus NFL seasons, but he's still a former first-round pick with high-upside physical traits. With 10 touchdowns in his last 16 games played, Johnston has also proven to be a solid end-zone target for Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. Johnston should be added in all fantasy leagues with 10 or more teams.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is viewed as week-to-week. Schefter noted on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday afternoon that the injury does not appear to be overly serious, but he is expected to miss some time. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but should not plan on him suiting up in Week 2. Worthy suffered an injury on the team's opening drive during their loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday evening. Once he left the contest, Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster emerged as the team's top wide receivers. With Rahsee Rice away on a suspension, fantasy managers should expect Brown and Smith-Schuster to continue to operate as the team's primary pass catchers for the foreseeable future.
