Chargers Shut Down Trade Rumors Surrounding Quentin Johnston

Friday, April 17, 8:22 AM

Los Angeles Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz has shut down trade rumors surrounding wide receiver Quentin Johnston, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN. "There's a lot of rumors out there on Twitter," Hortiz said. "And I can tell you this, I have made zero calls about Quentin, and I've had zero calls regarding Quentin." The Chargers are still discussing the decision on whether to pick up Johnston's fifth-year option, which would pay him $18.1 million fully guaranteed in 2027. L.A. must decide before May 1. Hortiz and head coach Jim Harbaugh have supported Johnston all along, which was evident after they traded Keenan Allen to the Chicago Bears after Johnston's poor rookie season. The 24-year-old former 21st overall pick in 2023 out of TCU has rewarded the team's faith, going over 700 receiving yards in each of the last two years while scoring eight times each season in 29 total regular-season games. He led the Bolts in TDs and had a career-high 735 yards over 14 games in 2025. With Allen unlikely to return in 2026, Johnston should once again be a focal point through the air for quarterback Justin Herbert in his fourth NFL campaign.

Andrei Iosivas News

Andrei Iosivas Lacks the Standalone Value to Make Him More Than a Deep Bench Stash

Thursday, April 2, 4:37 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas has scored 12 touchdowns in his three-year career, topping 430 receiving yards in each of the past two seasons. He's cracked double-digit fantasy points seven times in Half-PPR scoring formats, but only once was he able to string together two such consecutive games, coinciding with a 2024 Tee Higgins injury. The harsh reality for Iosivas is that he is stuck behind one of the best wide receiver duos in the league in Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase, and unless either is inactive, there simply aren't enough opportunities for him to carve out any sort of reliable role for fantasy managers. The obvious follow-up is that Higgins has missed 12 games over the past three seasons, so Iosivas still holds unique handcuff value in deeper leagues. More often than not, though, it has still been Chase who most benefits from the absence of his running mate.
