The Los Angeles Chargers will host the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Quentin Johnston.
Is Quentin Johnston Playing in Week 13?
Johnston is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Johnston in Week 13?
You can miss me with the complaints about Johnston turning into Johnston.
I understand that you thought you stumbled into a golden ticket with Johnston back in September, and the ride was fun, but we may have overreacted to a hot stretch because it was the first thing we saw this season.
That’s not to say he can’t have his moments, but he’s not the best receiver on this offense and isn’t a reliable fantasy starter (under 55 receiving yards in five straight, a run that includes not one, but two goose eggs).
- September: 3 TDs on 11 deep targets
- Since: 1 TD on 8 deep targets
The quantity and quality of those looks are on the decline. This matchup shouldn’t scare you, but Maxx Crosby’s impact is felt in this pass game (below-average opponent aDOT with a top-10 mark in yards per opponent completion) and leaves me thinking that this dry spell is more likely to sustain than change course.
QJ is a low-end flex, a ranking he earned more based on my confidence in the scoring environment than anything his profile suggests is likely.
