Chris Olave vs Quentin Johnston: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Chris Olave and Quentin Johnston for your lineup, you are not alone. Chris Olave finished the 2025 season at 13.7 PPG for the New Orleans Saints (16 games), and Quentin Johnston averaged 10.4 for the Los Angeles Chargers (14 games).
That 3.3-point weekly advantage for Chris Olave is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Target volume is the story here. Chris Olave saw 156 targets in 2025, while Quentin Johnston drew 85. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Chris Olave, even in weeks where Quentin Johnston posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Chris Olave has his bye in Week 12, and Quentin Johnston rests in Week 5. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
