Quentin Johnston News
Tuesday, April 28, 6:31 PM
The Los Angeles Chargers announced on Tuesday that they exercised the fifth-year option on wide receiver Quentin Johnston. Johnston was taken by the Bolts with the 21st overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of TCU. He was looking like a first-round bust after a very disappointing rookie year that involved plenty of miscues and drops. The 24-year-old then bounced back in 2024 with 55 catches, 711 yards, and eight touchdowns in 15 regular-season games. Johnston had a similar campaign in 2025, finishing with a 51-735-8 line in 14 regular-season starts. The Chargers did add receiver Brenen Thompson in the draft this year, but as long as the team doesn't re-sign veteran Keenan Allen, Johnston should be quarterback Justin Herbert's primary deep threat through the air in 2026. The 6-foot-2, 208-pounder has been a boom/bust WR4/flex as a big-play receiver, but he could have even more upside in new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniels' scheme in his fourth NFL season.

Luther Burden III News
Tuesday, April 28, 8:37 AM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III got off to a slow start to his rookie season in 2025, recording just 13 catches in his first seven NFL games. However, the 22-year-old closed the year on a tear, hauling in 21 receptions for 324 yards and a touchdown on 26 targets over his final four contests. This offseason, the Bears have added veteran wide receiver Kalif Raymond in free agency and LSU wideout Zavion Thomas with a third-round pick in the 2026 Draft. However, Chicago also traded away veteran wideout DJ Moore. All in all, Burden III looks to be in a prime position to enter 2026 as the Bears' WR2 alongside Rome Odunze. Burden III has proven to be a big-play threat with the ball in his hands, and he has the benefit of playing in a Chicago offense that should only be ascending with the promising quarterback/play-caller combination of Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson in place for the long haul. In dynasty formats, Burden III looks like a potential breakout candidate heading into 2026.
