Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Quentin Johnston

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quad) will not be placed on injured reserve as he works to recover from an injury suffered in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. However, there is still some uncertainty surrounding his status, as he is being evaluated on a week-to-week basis and does not have a specific timetable for his return. The 31-year-old could be headed for a multi-game absence, putting Deebo Samuel Sr. in line to rank as a low-end WR2 while Zach Ertz, Jaylin Lane, and Luke McCaffrey also see opportunity spikes, too.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston has made it clear through four weeks that he is one of quarterback Justin Herbert's go-to wideouts, especially deep down the field. Johnston led the Bolts in catches (eight), targets (13), and receiving yards (98) while scoring his fourth touchdown of the year on Sunday in the 21-18 loss on the road to the New York Giants. The 24-year-old was looking like a first-round bust last year amid limited production and high-profile drops, but he has turned it around in a big way and is the club's leading receiver through four weeks. It's been bad news for second-year pass-catcher Ladd McConkey, but fantasy managers who scooped Johnston up after his two-touchdown performance in Week 1 have been thrilled. His touchdown was an impressive 36-yard hookup with Herbert in the second quarter just before halftime. Johnston should be considered a must-start in Week 5 against a shaky Washington Commanders' secondary.
