Well, 1 carry for -2 yards is kind of shocking.

After reading so much about him sucking all off season, I traded him for Demario Douglas before game one.
Absolutely Nothing
Footballguy
I’m putting my foot down. I will not be Charlie Brown’d by QJ again. Did he look great? Yeah. Is he seeing great volume? For sure. Is he in a great pass-happy offense with a fantastic QB and complimentary surrounding talent? 100%.
On the other hand, I think he hates me personally and is waiting for me to overbid for him in the league he is still on the wire to turn into a pumpkin again. If I pick him up I ruin the experience for all of you. I can’t do that to you all.

Played him last week and glad I did, but this week I am starting Pickens over him. I like Q Johnson and think he is going to have a nice season, but I just think with what they have to throw to it is what is it with him. He will never see a huge uptick in targets.

He might not turn into AJ Brown, but he could turn into Gabe Davis, or a healthy Mike Williams. Fantasy helpful but not game changer
Why are they expecting QJ to get the shadow coverage? I would expect Keenan Allen
Broncos CB Pat Surtain aims to bounce back against Chargers
"I’m going to make sure that I learn from it and correct myself," Broncos CB Pat Surtain said after allowing seven receptions in Week 2.

Surtain doesn't typically cover slot WRs -- this season, he has 15 of 127 defensive snaps at slot CB (11.8%); last season, he had 83 of 1,054 defensive snaps at slot CB (7.9%). Of the Chargers' top 3 WRs, Johnston plays the fewest snaps in the slot -- he has 12 snaps in the slot this season, compared to 29 for Allen and 43 for McConkey. Johnston leads the team in percentage of snaps wide, excluding Lambert-Smith, who has only played 20 snaps total.
In addition, Johnston has the highest average depth of target (again, excluding Lambert-Smith) by a large margin -- Johnston's is 15.2, Allen's is 9.4, and McConkey's is 8.9. And Johnston also leads the team's WRs in YAC and YAC/reception. Johnston has been the bigger big play threat this season so far.
I don't know if all of that means Surtain will shadow him, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Don't know. At least they have enough confidence in him to give him 8 targets.

One target was an uncatchable one where Herbert threw it over his head in the endzone. Another was a pbu on a longer pass into the red zone.
Appears that Surtain is now traveling with him.

I want to make a stupid offer to try get this guy back after dropping him on dynasty cut-down day. But I'm not sure. His big knock for his first two years was catch percentage. He's at 58% on the season, basically right on par for his career.
ETA: Although none of his non-catches this year have been counted as drops. He had 1 drop for evey 16 targets prior to this season. Which doesn't even really seem that significant, other than it makes your real-life team more hesitant to target you.

7-7-10, his targets very consistent, offense lost Harris who was expected to help the rookie Hampton
I think the Bolts will continue throwing the ball
He's a weekly possibility for about 5/75/TD, won't be every single week but he's part of the game plan
Most of the FF community assumed they were giving up on this guy, not so much
He also has not had a boneheaded drop at a crucial moment but those challenges are coming soon, how will he respond this season?
Hopefully we don't see those hands of stone reappear

He's got more points than nabers in my league through 4 weeks
Nabers, Waddle, and Olave were my starters until now. Just didn’t trust QJ with Ladd and Keenan, but now don’t have a choice.
10 more targets today. Can’t get any more consistent than that. Plus he’s proving results with those.

Trending towards being OUT for week 6

Bump Ladd?
Sneaky Tre Harris maybe too

Per Schefter:
WR Quentin Johnston is not listed on injury report for Sunday and he is good to go vs. the Colts.

Came to ask the same exact thing. Haven’t scanned every single time they line up, but I’m not seeing him watching from across the room.
Dizzy
Footballguy
Yeah, he's playing... well, he's running around out there anyway.
I think he got "Gadsden'd" in the game plan going forward.

Footballguy
Seems he is a TD dependent guy at this point. Gadsden, McConkey and Allen going to get the more consistent looks.

I really don’t think QJ did anything to lose the job, offense just changed is all.
Dizzy
Footballguy
Agreed, and probably not a lot of throws rest of the way tonight.
joey
Footballguy
Yeah. Chargers should run run run to end it.

Might be the hamstring. But he offense appears to have totally shifted focus.

Gadsden stole his role in offense.
Sorry Johnston owners.It was fun while it lasted

You have not lived life if you think QJ is the ultimate pump and dump. But I see your point.

I managed to turn Etienne and Demercado into Johnston for 1 of his good weeks and 1 of his bad weeks, then Johnston and Woody Marks into Drake London. Happy to be off the QJ train

Things change week to week. Next week it could be Johnston's turn to shine, or both, or neither.
