Davante Adams vs Quentin Johnston: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Davante Adams (Los Angeles Rams) finished the 2025 season averaging 13.8 fantasy points per game in 14 games. Quentin Johnston (Los Angeles Chargers) came in at 10.4 PPG over 14 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Davante Adams carries a 3.4-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Target volume is the story here. Davante Adams saw 114 targets in 2025, while Quentin Johnston drew 85. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Davante Adams, even in weeks where Quentin Johnston posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
One scheduling note: Davante Adams is off Week 6 and Quentin Johnston Week 5. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
