Quentin Johnston's fantasy role in Week 10
Quentin Johnston goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a deep-league WR flyer for the LAC. He is rostered in 23% of leagues and actually started in 2% of them, and we rank him WR67 on our own weekly board at 3.4 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 10 matchup breakdown
The matchup: at BAL. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting WR baseline of 10 points, his 3.4-point projection is 6.6 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Sit Quentin Johnston in Week 10 if you have a real alternative — 3.4 projected points lands 6.6 under the WR starter line.
If you are deciding between him and another WR, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Quentin Johnston (LAC WR), our WR67 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season at BAL, projecting 3.4 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 6.6 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. 2% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. He grades 66% below the average weekly WR number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Quentin Johnston (LAC WR), our WR67 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season at BAL, projecting 3.4 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 6.6 points of shortfall. The at BAL draw matters here — road snaps against BAL shape how often he's asked to do something. 2% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
