Quentin Johnston vs Tee Higgins: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Quentin Johnston (Los Angeles Chargers) finished the 2025 season averaging 10.4 fantasy points per game in 14 games. Tee Higgins (Cincinnati Bengals) came in at 12.1 PPG over 15 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Tee Higgins carries a 1.7-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. Quentin Johnston turned 85 targets into 735 yards and 8 touchdowns, while Tee Higgins converted 98 looks into 846 yards and 11 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One scheduling note: Quentin Johnston is off Week 5 and Tee Higgins Week 12. 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.
