From the article

Quentin Johnston is our other massive fade. He finished fifth among all wideouts in touchdown rate last year and couldn't crack the WR2 ranks. Over the past two years, Johnston has averaged 1.5 yards per route run while being targeted on 18 percent of his routes. Both of those marks sit comfortably outside of the top 50 receivers. Johnston needs touchdown variance on his side to post WR3 numbers. He will put up WR5 fantasy stats if he loses that good fortune.

Johnston's TD-dependent profile and poor efficiency metrics make him a WR5 without variance.

Johnston is a massive fade despite finishing fifth in touchdown rate last year; he couldn't crack WR2 ranks and over the past two years has averaged 1.5 yards per route run while being targeted on 18 percent of his routes—both marks comfortably outside the top 50 receivers.
