NFL DRAFT ROOKIE GUIDE IS NOW LIVE!
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston made two catches against the Kansas City Chiefs backups in Week 18 to finally and mercifully end his tough rookie season. Johnston, who was drafted in the first round, ended up making just 38 catches for 431 yards and two touchdowns all year. In Week 18, he turned five targets into two catches for 17 yards. He'll be back for the 2024 season with a whole new coach and (likely) offensive coordinator, so it will be interesting to see if they will be able to turn around one of the biggest busts of the 2023 draft.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston will look to end his disappointing rookie season on a high note in a Week 18 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnston, the Chargers first-round pick, has just 36 catches for 414 yards and two touchdowns. He'll have a key role with Keenan Allen (heel) likely out and Joshua Palmer (concussion) possibly limited. Johnston doesn't have much upside even against Chiefs backups. He'll be a WR4.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston made three catches in a Week 17 loss to the Denver Broncos. Johnston was targeted six times and came down with three of them for a total of 29 yards. The first-round rookie was outplayed in the passing game by Alex Erickson and arguably also by Keelan Doss. It's been an awful rookie season for Johnston which will mercifully come to an end next week after a Week 18 game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston is set for a possibly large offensive role in a Week 17 game against the Denver Broncos. Johnston is wrapping up a very disappointing rookie season, but with Keenan Allen (heel) and Joshua Palmer (concussion) both questionable at best, the rookie could end up working as the WR1 this week. He hasn't shown much to make him a viable fantasy option in what will be the championship game in most leagues, but deeper leagues might want to use him as a lottery ticket if Allen and Palmer end up missing the game.
Dec 28, 2023 6:03 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston made just two catches in a Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Johnston was targeted five times, making just the pair of catches for 29 yards total. He made one relatively big play by his NFL standards, catching a pass for a 21-yard gain. Johnston's disappointing rookie season is mercifully coming to an end soon, but not before the Chargers take on the Broncos next week on New Year's Eve.
Dec 24, 2023 12:20 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston is not worth a starting spot in most fantasy lineups in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. Johnston hasn't done much all season, but he's been even more of an afterthought in the passing game when Joshua Palmer is active. With Keenan Allen (heel) out, Johnston might play a slightly bigger role, but that just makes it more likely that he'll drop a critical pass than actually put up big numbers. Johnston should only be rostered in deeper dynasty leagues at this point.
Dec 21, 2023 4:22 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston scored another touchdown in a Week 15 annihilation by the Las Vegas Raiders. Johnston was targeted three times, making two catches for 23 yards and a score. His touchdown came on a six-yard pass near the end of the game to bring the game within 42 points. Johnston has had a rough rookie season, but he's started to show some signs of life lately, scoring a touchdown in two consecutive games.
Dec 15, 2023 12:58 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston is a risky fantasy option in a Week 15 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Johnston had a big game last week, putting up 91 yards in an ugly Chargers loss. He seemed to be the first read on a lot of plays from new Chargers starting quarterback Easton Stick, but the drop in talent from Justin Herbert (finger) to Stick is a sky dive without a parachute. Johnston could put up WR3 numbers this week, but his upside is so limited in this offense that he's more of a mid-range WR4.
Dec 13, 2023 11:30 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston had a solid game in a Week 14 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was targeted four times, making three catches for 91 yards, including a huge 57-yard grab on a rare good throw from quarterback Easton Stick. Johnston has been a disappointment most of the season, but this was a flash of what he can do. He's still not really on the fantasy radar, but there's a glimmer of hope at least for those holding onto him in dynasty leagues.
Dec 11, 2023 12:28 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston is coming off one of his best games before a Week 14 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Johnston set career highs last week in three categories with seven targets, five catches, and 52 yards. It wasn't a great performance by any means (eight fantasy points) and he left points on the field with another atrocious drop in a key moment, but it was at least a small sign of progress. Johnston is not worth starting in most fantasy formats at this point, but he's someone to keep an eye on in case all of the talent finally clicks.
Dec 7, 2023 4:25 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston made five catches in a Week 13 win over the New England Patriots. Johnston was targeted seven times, making the five catches for 52 yards. He tied with Keenan Allen for the team lead in catches and was just behind Allen's 58 yards for the team lead there. It was a solid performance from the rookie, but it also featured an ugly drop on what should have been an easy catch for a third down conversion. Johnston's role looked more sustainable in this one, but he'll need to clean up the drops to earn more of his quarterback's trust in key situations.
Dec 3, 2023 7:40 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston (ribs, finger) could see a larger role in a Week 13 game against the New England Patriots. He was listed on the injury report with a rib and a finger injury, but he was able to practice in full every day of the week. Johnston has been almost invisible in his rookie year and hasn't shown too many signs of a breakout yet. Still, due to injuries ahead of him on the depth chart, Johnston could end up being the top wide receiver available for quarterback Justin Herbert to throw to. Keenan Allen (quadriceps) usually soaks up most of the Los Angeles passing-game targets, but he missed two practices this week and is questionable to play Sunday. He may end up being limited in the game on Sunday, leaving Johnston as "the guy" on offense. He's still not a recommended starter in most formats, but he could be a sneaky DFS play for managers willing to take a bit of a risk.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (ribs, finger) practiced in full on Wednesday. It's somewhat surprising, considering he was injured in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Unfortunately, the rookie hasn't done much to benefit fantasy managers this season, catching only 21 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown. That said, Keenan Allen (quadriceps) isn't a lock to play in Week 13 against the Patriots after sitting out Wednesday's session. If Allen doesn't suit up for that one, Johnston could see interest as a flex option in deep fantasy formats.
Nov 29, 2023 7:36 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley indicated that tests on rookie first-round wide receiver Quentin Johnston (ribs) showed nothing serious and that he should be able to practice this week. Johnston injured his ribs in the third quarter of Sunday night's Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and never returned despite being medically cleared on the sidelines. The 22-year-old finished with just one catch on three targets for seven yards. Johnston has struggled with drops and has failed to live up to his draft pedigree through his first 11 NFL games, catching 21 of his 37 targets for 190 yards and one touchdowns. He hasn't capitalized on an expanded role with Joshua Palmer (knee) on Injured Reserve. Johnston is a hold in dynasty/keeper leagues, but he can't be trusted in starting lineups given his recent play and trouble with dropped passes.
Nov 27, 2023 6:45 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver didn't do anything in a Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. In a game where quarterback Justin Herbert threw the ball 44 times, the first-round pick Johnston made just one catch for seven yards. He was targeted three times. Johnston ended the Chargers game in Week 11 by dropping a sure touchdown pass than landed in his hands, and while he didn't have any plays so blatant this time, he still missed a pass that most other first-round picks would have caught. It's been a tough season for Johnston and most of the Chargers offense. The rookie should be nowhere near any fantasy starting lineups this season.
Nov 27, 2023 12:56 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston will look to bounce back from a tough Week 11 performance in a Week 12 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Johnston caught just two passes in Week 11, dropping a perfect throw from quarterback Justin Herbert on what would have been an almost certain game-winning touchdown. The rookie was wide open and the ball hit him in the hands in stride, but somehow it ended up on the ground. Johnston was visibly upset and did not get another chance in that game. The rookie and the entire Chargers team will hope to watch him bounce back from his toughest moment as a pro so far, but that doesn't make him worth starting in any but the deepest fantasy leagues.
Nov 23, 2023 12:17 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston made highlights for all the wrong reasons in the team's 23-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The first-round rookie caught just two of his six targets for 21 yards. His low point came with just 30 seconds left in the game. As Justin Herbert attempted to lead a game-winning drive, he found Johnston wide open streaking down the field. The ball hit his hands and fell to the ground. A touchdown would have put the Chargers ahead and all but secured a victory. At worst, it would have set up Los Angeles for a game-tying field goal. The Chargers' season is starting to fall apart. Keenan Allen is the only Los Angeles wideout worth trusting until Joshua Palmer (knee) returns from injured reserve.
Nov 20, 2023 9:43 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston will look to keep building up his momentum in a Week 11 game against the Green Bay Packers. Johnston has gotten his career off to a slow start, but his best performances have come in his last three games, with his first NFL touchdown coming in Week 10. With Keenan Allen (shoulder) questionable, Johnston could end up with a key role in the Chargers passing game. He's a risky option with a low floor, but there's definitely some upside there even if Allen plays.
Nov 16, 2023 11:43 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston caught his first career touchdown in a Week 10 loss to the Detroit Lions. Johnston was targeted four times, making four catches for 34 yards and the score. His touchdown came in the fourth quarter on a one-yard pass from Justin Herbert. It was a good game for the rookie, who has taken on an extended role with both Mike Williams (knee) and Joshua Palmer (knee) on IR. Johnston still has not shown much upside though, so he'll be hard to trust as a fantasy starter next week against the Packers.
Nov 13, 2023 12:07 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston remains off the fantasy radar in most formats for a Week 10 game against the Detroit Lions. Johnston should be playing a large role in the offense with Joshua Palmer (knee) on IR, but the rookie has caught just eight passes since the Chargers Week 5 bye. He's yet to finish higher than the overall WR52, and while he certainly has the talent and the opportunity to pop off in the second half of the season, he's shown nothing yet to prove that he can.
