Welcome to Week 10 of the fantasy football season! This week, four teams had their byes – the Green Bay Packers, Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders and Seattle Seahawks – which means we’ll have to dig deep into our pockets for the next big deep sleeper to save our flex spots!
One potential name on the rise is Los Angeles Chargers second-year WR Quentin Johnston, who has been in the background lately. Week 9 marked his third game with a touchdown this season (4 total on the year), with his 4-118-1 stat line officially giving him his highest weekly point total: 20 fantasy points.
In the four games since their Week 5 bye, the Chargers have seen a significant increase in their pass play percentage from 48.7% before the bye, now at 60.8% after the bye. Combine the increase in passing volume with Johnston’s tendency to take advantage of the coverage breakdown where one of the best passers in the league throws the football, and you could certainly do worse in your flex in any given week… right? ? This week the Chargers will face the Tennessee Titans, who may have had a stingier defense than most, but Johnston may have one more play against broken coverages in him to save your Week 10 lineups.
If you don’t have an option like Johnston on hold, luckily our team is here to help you make some of those tough lineup decisions. Check out our week 10 flex rankings for half-PPR score formats:
