Should You Start or Sit Quentin Johnston in Week 14?
If it wasn’t for the artist known as Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Johnston scoring once every four receptions would be the poster profile when it comes to regression. It’s been more than a month since Johnston caught more than two passes in a game, and the inefficiencies have hit a fever pitch over his past three games (four catches on 17 targets).
Johnston hauled in just one of five targets for a whopping nine yards in the first meeting with the Chiefs, though I think there is more upside this week than that ugly stat line suggests (KC: ninth-most yards per deep pass attempt allowed).
There’s a time and place for rolling Johnston out there as your Flex, and if you’re in a position to swallow risk for reward, go for it. I rank based on mean outcomes, and until we see Johnston earn looks at a consistent rate (under four catches in eight of 10 games), he’s not going to grade as a play.
