Outlook Quentin Johnston
Sinking Draft Cost Opens Prime Buying Window in Los Angeles
Quentin Johnston enters his fourth season holding a starting perimeter role in Los Angeles alongside Ladd McConkey. The arrival of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel introduces creative concepts designed to maximize Johnston's after-the-catch ability, giving quarterback Justin Herbert a reliable vertical and red-zone weapon.
After posting consecutive eight-touchdown campaigns, Johnston offers proven scoring upside. Our projections forecast another step forward with 65 receptions on 94 targets for 775 yards and seven touchdowns, totaling 172.0 fantasy points. While his 15% start rate reflects cautious managers, his 91% roster rate shows widespread belief in his starting role.
The draft market presents a notable buying window. After climbing toward an ADP of 90 in mid-August, a minor practice injury scare caused his draft stock to slide back to pick 140. With health concerns fully resolved, our models view this discounted price as a draft-day value steal for managers in 1.0 PPR formats.

Outlook KC Concepcion
Electric Slot Weapon Offers Tremendous Late-Round Value
First-round rookie KC Concepcion enters Cleveland's offense slotted as the primary slot receiver alongside Jerry Jeudy and rookie Denzel Boston. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken praised Concepcion's route running, drawing comparisons to Zay Flowers. After shaking off an early August shoulder scare, he flashed explosive playmaking ability during joint practices to cement an immediate role.
Our projections anticipate 65 receptions on 90 targets for 730 yards and three touchdowns, translating to 145.0 fantasy points in PPR formats. His ADP has steadily slipped from around pick 120 in late July to 166, creating an intriguing draft-day discount relative to our projected volume.
While Concepcion is rostered in 82% of leagues, his 3% start rate reflects his status as a high-upside stash rather than an immediate starter. In Monken's scheme, his dynamic playmaking gives him a clear path to flex viability if Cleveland's passing attack clicks.
