Jameson Williams vs Quentin Johnston: Who Should You Start?
The gap between Jameson Williams and Quentin Johnston is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.6 PPG in 2025, this is one of those wide receiver decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Jameson Williams averaged 11.0 PPG with the Detroit Lions across 17 games, and Quentin Johnston posted 10.4 with the Los Angeles Chargers in 14.
When two wide receivers are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Jameson Williams turned 102 targets into 1117 yards and 7 touchdowns, while Quentin Johnston converted 85 looks into 735 yards and 8 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 5 bye. That means you need a backup plan at wide receiver for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
