Quentin Johnston is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for wide receivers. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 6 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 33% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Quentin Johnston didn't do much in the first game without starting receiver Mike Williams, who was lost for the year with a knee injury. The Chargers planned to bring Johnston along slowly, but that's no longer an option. He operated as the team's No. 3 receiver in Week 4 on an offense that uses 11 personnel at one of the highest rates in the NFL.
Johnston will have plenty of opportunities to make plays in an explosive Chargers offense. With the Week 5 bye, the hope is that the Chargers will have a plan to incorporate him more into the offense.
His skill set more closely resembles what Williams brought to the team compared to Joshua Palmer, who is more of a Keenan Allen type of replacement player. Johnston hasn't done anything yet for fantasy managers to put him into their starting lineups, but with Williams' injury and the team coming off their bye week, Johnston is worth adding now before it's too late.
