Deciding who to start in your fantasy football lineup can make or break your week, especially for players outside the usual household names.
Knowing when to roll the dice on these players is crucial whether you’re dealing with bye weeks, injuries, or just looking for an edge. Wide receivers like Jauan Jennings, Josh Downs, and Quentin Johnston all bring intriguing potential but come with varying levels of risk based on matchups, target shares, and team dynamics.
Should you start Jennings, Downs, and Johnston this week? Let's dive in.
Should I Start Jauan Jennings for Fantasy Football?
Jauan Jennings is shaping up to be a must-start option in fantasy football this week against the Green Bay Packers.
Over the past two weeks, he has emerged as a key part of his team’s passing attack, commanding an impressive 22 targets and converting them into 17 catches for 184 yards and a touchdown. This level of involvement signals a strong trust from his quarterback, making him a reliable option in PPR formats.

The Packers’ defense has struggled against slot receivers this season, further boosting Jennings’ outlook. With his combination of volume, consistency, a favorable matchup, and clear chemistry with Brock Purdy, Jennings offers both a safe floor and the potential for a big game this week.
Fantasy managers can view him as a WR2 this week and should be started.
Should I Start Josh Downs for Fantasy Football?
Josh Downs can be viewed as a WR3 in fantasy football this week as he continues to carve out a role in the Colts’ passing game.
Last week, he showcased his playmaking ability with five catches for 84 yards and one touchdown, proving to be one of Anthony Richardson’s most reliable targets. While he brings solid upside, there is still some risk, as Richardson has struggled with consistency throughout the season.

Downs’ quickness and ability to create separation make him a strong option, especially in PPR leagues, where his volume could provide a steady floor. If Richardson can play efficiently, Downs has the potential to outperform expectations and deliver a solid fantasy performance.
Should I Start Quentin Johnston for Fantasy Football?
Quentin Johnston can be viewed as a strong WR3 or Flex play this week and should be started against the Ravens.
The Chargers wideout has been a consistent red-zone threat, scoring six touchdowns this season, including three in the last three weeks. His ability to make big plays and find the end zone gives him a high upside, even in a challenging matchup.

Adding to his appeal is the recent strong play of Justin Herbert, who has been performing at an elite level, elevating the entire Chargers’ offense.
With his established role, touchdown potential, and a quarterback in top form, Johnston offers both a safe floor and significant upside for fantasy managers this week. Start Johnston.
