Quentin Johnston, Quentin Johnston Exits With Head Injury

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (head) left Saturday's preseason game against the Rams after taking a hard hit on the third play from scrimmage. The third-year wideout is competing for snaps behind veteran Keenan Allen and remains in the mix for a rotational role this season. Johnston has flashed big-play potential but continues to struggle with consistency, recording a 7.7% drop rate last season. Despite posting 711 yards and eight touchdowns last year, he remains more of a wait-and-see option for fantasy managers and should be monitored as a potential early-season waiver-wire target.

Keenan Allen, Keenan Allen Making His Mark in Practice

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen and quarterback Justin Herbert have "picked up right where they left off in 2023," according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Allen spent the 2024 season with the Chicago Bears, but he racked up 150 targets, 108 receptions, 1,243 yards, and seven touchdowns in just 13 games during the 2023 season with the Chargers. The 33-year-old is at a different point in his career, and Los Angeles now runs a much less pass-happy offense under play-caller Greg Roman. Allen should not be expected to produce like he did two seasons ago, but he could still be a high-floor bye-week replacement in fantasy, particularly in PPR-scoring formats.

Najee Harris, Najee Harris to Miss First Four Games of the Season?

Los Angeles Chargers beat writer Daniel Popper of The Athletic projects Chargers running back Najee Harris (eye) to open the season on the non-football injury list, which means he would be forced to miss the first four games of the season. Popper writes that he has "not seen nearly enough progress at this point to think (Harris) will be ready for Week 1." Harris suffered an eye injury on July 4 and just recently returned to practice in a very limited capacity this week. If Harris does indeed miss a chunk of the regular season, rookie running back Omarion Hampton would have a major opportunity to seize the lead role in the Los Angeles backfield. Hampton is a steady riser in fantasy and profiles as a high-end RB2, while Harris has fallen to RB49 in RotoBaller's half-PPR rankings.

Justin Herbert, Justin Herbert to Make Preseason Debut Against Rams

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will play in his first career preseason game on Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams. Head coach John Harbaugh said the plan is for offensive and defensive starters, and Herbert will play "a series or two." While Herbert is viewed by many as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, his fantasy floor and ceiling took hits last season in Greg Roman's run-first offense. After throwing for at least 4,336 yards in the first three seasons of his career, the Oregon product tallied just 3,870 passing yards in 17 games a season ago. While he has a ton of upside in shootout game conditions, Harbaugh and Roman are unlikely to transition into a high-flying passing attack.

Oronde Gadsden, Oronde Gadsden Flashing as a Pass Catcher

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden is making a positive impression in training camp so far. According to The Athletic's Daniel Popper, Gadsden "continues to show up consistently in the passing game" for the Chargers. The rookie tight end made an "explosive" catch during Wednesday's practice as he continues to show why the Chargers used a fifth-round pick on him in the 2025 NFL draft. Gadsden caught two of his four targets for 15 yards in Los Angeles' preseason game against the New Orleans Saints last week. He is athletic and well-regarded as a pass catcher, but still has veterans Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly ahead of him on the depth chart. From a fantasy football perspective, Gadsden is more interesting for dynasty managers as he's unlikely to be relevant in redraft leagues until next season.
