Quentin Johnston News
Tuesday, July 28, 8:02 AM
ESPN's Kris Rhim writes that Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston enters training camp this summer "looking to prove that he can be a consistent outside threat." The Chargers showed that they believe in the former first-rounder's long-term potential by picking up his fifth-year, $18 million option. The 24-year-old former TCU wideout struggled with drops and creating separation as a rookie, but he has led the team in touchdowns (16 combined) in each of the past two seasons. New offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel likes Johnston's potential, too, comparing him to former Houston Texan Andre Johnson and former Atlanta Falcon Julio Jones because of his size (6-foot-3, 208 pounds) and yards-after-the-catch ability. McDaniel could unlock even more from Johnston and make him a weekly threat in L.A.'s offense, making him a very intriguing WR4/flex target with upside in upcoming 2026 fantasy drafts. RotoBaller currently has Johnston ranked as the No. 47 fantasy WR as he heads into his fourth season.

Jalen McMillan News
Thursday, August 6, 8:06 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said on Thursday that he's unsure how long wide receiver Jalen McMillan (knee) will be out in training camp, according to Pewter Report. McMillan has been sitting out of practices this week and was seen wearing a sleeve on his left calf on Tuesday. The Bucs are being careful with the 24-year-old wideout, who played in only four regular-season games a year ago due to a scary neck injury that he suffered in the preseason. Barring a setback once McMillan returns to the field, it seems like he'll be fine for the start of the regular season in September. With future Hall of Fame receiver Mike Evans no longer in Tampa, the former third-rounder in 2024 from the University of Washington is going to have a bigger role in new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson's scheme alongside Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin Jr. Fantasy managers will want to target him as a potential late-round sleeper as a WR4/5 for depth in upcoming drafts as long as his knee injury doesn't linger this summer.
