BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (ankle) had a nice streak of games for fantasy football when he was scoring touchdowns. Now he's not catching those touchdowns, his targets and yardage aren't impressive, and he's faded back to fantasy irrelevance, which shouldn't be a surprise.

He is likely to take the field when his team takes on the Cleveland Browns in Week 9. They don't have the best of pass defenses, and it's worth noting that QJ last played three defenses that lock down wide receivers in a row (the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3, Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4 and Denver Broncos in Week 6).
The Browns have surprisingly allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. That bodes well for Johnston if he plays. He was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday, so there's a good chance that he does.
In addition, the opposing offense is now led by quarterback Jameis Winston, who's known for airing out deep passes and leading productive, yet turnover-prone, offenses. This game could be another shootout in which the Chargers are forced to pass more, adding to Johnston's value. He can be started in deeper leagues.
