Quentin Johnston vs Tyler Lockett: The Full Breakdown
Deciding between Quentin Johnston and Tyler Lockett is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver put up 11.2 PPG in 2025 over 13 games; Tyler Lockett of the Seattle Seahawks averaged 6.9 in 15. A 4.3-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 4.3 points favors Quentin Johnston, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Quentin Johnston turned 84 targets into 735 yards and 8 touchdowns, while Tyler Lockett converted 72 looks into 548 yards and 2 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
Quentin Johnston has his bye in Week 7, and Tyler Lockett rests in Week 10. 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.
