Outlook Quentin Johnston
Quentin Johnston vs ARI — Flex Appeal in Favorable Home Matchup
Johnston enters Week 1 fully healthy and listed as a starting outside receiver for Justin Herbert alongside Ladd McConkey. After displaying big-play ability late in the preseason, Johnston looks to solidify an everyday perimeter role in this revamped Chargers passing attack.
While Johnston is rostered in 92% of leagues, just 15% of managers are currently starting him. Our weekly projection lands at 10.6 fantasy points on roughly five targets and 46 receiving yards against Arizona. Playing at home as heavy favorites in an expected high-scoring contest, Johnston profiles as a volatile flex option who offers solid touchdown upside if Los Angeles moves the ball through the air as expected.

Outlook Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields vs. Dallas — Rookie Debut with Immediate Perimeter Role
The rookie third-round pick enters Week 1 listed as a starting outside receiver opposite Malik Nabers with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart at the helm. Fields generated steady buzz throughout camp to secure a perimeter role, especially with depth receiver Calvin Austin sidelined for the season. While Nabers is ready to go despite a minor knee designation, Fields provides a big-bodied red-zone presence in a home matchup projected for plenty of scoring opportunities.
Our weekly projections forecast Fields for 2.3 receptions, 30 receiving yards, and 6.3 fantasy points on roughly 3 to 4 targets. Currently rostered in only 15% of leagues and started in less than 1%, fantasy managers should keep him on benches for now. However, he remains an intriguing stash in deeper leagues if he quickly develops early chemistry with Dart.
