Wild Card Round FLEX Outlooks for Fantasy Football
Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers - Fantasy Football Outlook
According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (thigh/illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's playoff game against the Houston Texans. Johnston opened the week as a limited participant but was then downgraded to a non-participant on Wednesday.
He returned to limited capacity on Thursday but still carries a questionable tag. In Week 18, Johnston enjoyed a career game, bringing in 13 passes for 186 yards. This was the second time he tallied at least 100 yards this season and the first time he caught double-digit passes.
No.3 wide receiver Joshua Palmer (foot) has already been ruled out for this game. As a result, this could leave rookie Ladd McConkey as the lone wideout for Justin Herbert. If Johnston were to sit out, McConkey would carry high-end WR1 upside in DFS formats.

Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers - Fantasy Football Outlook
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren closed the regular season with a quiet performance and will look to get more involved against the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card Round of the NFL playoffs. Warren played well against Baltimore in 2024, averaging 80 total yards and 4.5 receptions over two meetings with his AFC North foe. While it has been difficult to project Warren's utilization on a weekly basis, he should get plenty of opportunities on Saturday.
The Ravens are heavy favorites at home, meaning Pittsburgh may be forced to shy away from the run and push the ball downfield. Najee Harris is a capable pass-catcher, but Warren has been the more prolific receiver over the past two seasons. Because of this, the 26-year-old offers some upside in PPR fantasy contests this weekend.
