Marquise Brown vs Quentin Johnston: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Marquise Brown (Philadelphia Eagles) finished the 2025 season averaging 7.1 fantasy points per game in 16 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.
Quentin Johnston carries a 3.3-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.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Marquise Brown turned 74 targets into 587 yards and 5 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.
