Quentin Johnston

Johnston has flashed some upside this season as the WR37 in fantasy points per game. He has three WR3 or higher weekly finishes this season (WR11, WR8, WR29). Johnston has a 16.3% target share, 2.15 YPRR, and a 22.6% first-read share. He has two red zone targets across his last three games. Since Week 8, Cincy has moved towards more two high with the seventh-highest rate in the NFL (53.1%). Against two high, Johnston ranks first on the team with 2.40 YPRR and third with a 15% TPRR and 19.1% first-read share. Johnston could have another big game this week against a secondary that, since Week 5, has allowed the third-highest fantasy points per game and receiving yards per game to boundary wide receivers.

Johnston can't keep doing this, can he? While he only drew an 11.1% target share in Week 10, and Justin Herbert only threw the ball 18 times (thanks to Jim Harbaugh), Johnston still scored a touchdown and finished with 24 receiving yards. That was Johnston's fourth game this season, in which he finished with at least 24 receiving yards and a score. He has five receiving touchdowns in seven games. Johnston could keep the train rolling in the next three games. Cincy (eighth-most), Baltimore (second-most), and Atlanta (11th-most) all sit inside the top 12 in fantasy points per game allowed to perimeter wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).
