Secure role with high aDOT/YAC; worth ADP if drops don't return

Quentin JohnstonWRLAC

Johnston's role is secure and will not be diminished; he plays a role that is awesome for modern fantasy football with higher average depth of target and generates yards after catch, making him more likely to generate big plays. Mattek emphasizes the Chargers will not stop throwing him the ball or having him be a huge part of their offense because other receivers like Ladd and Charlie Kolar cannot generate those big plays. Mattek took Johnston at pick 81 in his draft. If Johnston's drops don't reappear, he is easily worth his ADP; however, Mattek notes he is not a huge target earner, which is a limiting factor for his ceiling. Johnston can definitely score 10 touchdowns, though Mattek doesn't think he will; the key with Johnston is how many touchdowns he can score.
