Quentin Johnston News
Wednesday, August 12, 9:12 AM
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston has scored eight touchdowns in each of the last two seasons, but Mike McDaniel may give him more ways to produce in 2026. Johnston caught 51 of 84 targets for 735 yards in 14 games last year, and Los Angeles picked up his fifth-year option this spring. He has spent much of his NFL career doing damage downfield and around the end zone. McDaniel's offense could bring back another part of his game. Johnston has talked about getting more chances to create after the catch, something he did extremely well at TCU, and the early work with Justin Herbert has been encouraging. Ladd McConkey remains the safest bet to lead this receiving corps, while Tre' Harris and a deeper tight end room will keep Johnston from simply inheriting a huge target total. His 96.3 ADP reflects that uncertainty, with RotoBaller ranking him WR44 in half-PPR. Johnston doesn't need another eight touchdowns to pay off if McDaniel can get the ball into his hands in a few more ways.

Denzel Boston News
Wednesday, August 12, 10:33 AM
Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston continues to make believers during his first NFL training camp. An ESPN evaluator came away especially impressed after watching Boston practice, writing that the 6-foot-4 receiver "has what it takes to be a WR1 in the league." Boston's size was expected, but his route-running and ability to move smoothly for a bigger receiver stood out just as much. The Browns have seen that throughout camp, with Boston consistently winning contested catches and making plays downfield. Head coach Todd Monken has even said he wants to see Boston working as a boundary receiver with the first-team offense while moving Jerry Jeudy around. Cleveland selected Boston 39th overall after he caught 62 passes for 881 yards at Washington last season. There is still plenty to sort out, particularly with Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders battling at quarterback. Boston does not need to become Cleveland's WR1 immediately, but everything he has shown this summer points toward a sizable rookie role and an intriguing long-term ceiling.
