◆FLEX

Quentin Johnston's recent performance, averaging just 12.3 PPR points over his last four games with a target share of only 17.7%, signals he is not yet a reliable weekly starter.

Role & volume
Over the past four games, Johnston has averaged just 69% snap share and 17.7% target share, indicating limited usage despite being active.
Projected role
Our value ranks him as WR48, suggesting he is not expected to be a top-tier receiver even with the potential for increased opportunities in the upcoming season.
Range (floor–ceiling)
Given his recent performance and current role, Johnston's floor appears to be around 2.8 PPR points from his last four games, while his ceiling is capped by his WR48 value rank.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (4 flags)

Risk Flags

3
  • Elite Production

    Johnston scored 8 touchdowns on roughly 4.7 expected in 2025, a rate unlikely to repeat; early-season efficiency dips would follow as scoring luck normalizes.

  • Usage & Volume

    Tre' Harris, Brenen Thompson (a 2026 R4 pick), and KeAndre Lambert-Smith all compete for LAC's non-McConkey targets, though none currently threaten the outside WR2 role.

  • Injury Concerns

    Johnston has dealt with recurring lower-body/soft-tissue issues, including a preseason 2026 scare that was quickly ruled minor with no missed games, keeping a mild durability watch-item on the profile.

Opportunity Flags

1
  • Scheme Fit

    Since Mike McDaniel took over as offensive coordinator, coaching staff has praised Johnston as playing at an elite level alongside Ladd McConkey, and the YAC-driven scheme fits Johnston's after-catch skill set.
