Is Quentin Johnston playing today? Injury update, fantasy advice for Chargers WR in Week 11

One of the Los Angeles Chargers' key playmakers on offense, wide receiver Quentin Johnston, is uncertain to play in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Johnston was placed on the injury report with a shin issue this past week that kept him limited at practice on Wednesday and Thursday before he turned in a full practice on Friday.

Despite the full session to close out the week, Johnston was slapped with the questionable tag for Sunday.

Here's the latest on Johnston's hopes of suiting up against the Jaguars.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Johnston is indeed expected to suit up on Sunday after logging the aforementioned full practice going into the weekend.

Quentin Johnston fantasy advice

After starting off the season on fire, Johnston has cooled considerably over his last five games. Since Week 5, Johnston ranks as WR56 overall in fantasy points per contest, which erases his must-start status.

Knowing that, Johnston is a viable flex option with upside on Sunday.
