Should You Start or Sit Quentin Johnston in Week 17?
When you bet on roulette, you understand that the odds are good that you lose, but there’s a window of hope, and that has you considering a spin every time you walk by it.
Johnston is that. He’s scored on 21.6% of his receptions this season and has the potential to reward you for your faith with a single play, but you need that single play because the volume is never going to be there. We are talking about a player who has failed to reach 50 receiving yards in seven straight games — with a streak like that, you can’t be mad when a 3-18-0 stat line occurs like it did last week.
That’s the cost of doing business.
Much like Buffalo Gabe Davis, you’re either fully committed to a specific spot or you’re wise to fade. The Patriots are the second-best defense when it comes to opposing deep passing touchdown rate — this doesn’t look like the 15+ PPR point spot for Johnston, and that means I have no interest.
