Quentin Johnston Week 4 Outlook - Chiefs at Chargers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 26th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Johnston has run hot with big plays and touchdowns this season propelling him to WR21 in fantasy points per game. Johnston has earned a 19.7% target share (4.3 targets per game), a 29.2% air-yard share, 2.15 YPRR, and a 31.6% first-read share (leads the team). He has 75% of the team's receiving touchdown production. Kansas City has the second-highest two-high rate in the NFL (68.5%). Against two high, Johnston has seen his target share slip to 12.5% while his first-read share remains at 30%. We'll see if he can keep this highwire act up again in Week 4 against a pass defense that has allowed the 13th-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Johnston will run about 93% of his routes against Jaylen Watson (66.7% catch rate and 96.3 passer rating) and Trent McDuffie (55.6% catch rate and 77.5 passer rating).
