Should I Start Quentin Johnston?

Sunday, April 12, 11:22 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston is on track to handle an increased workload during the 2026 season. Keenan Allen remains a free agent, and at this point, it seems unlikely that he'll return to the Bolts. Barring a big Tre' Harris breakout, Johnston should take over as the Chargers' No. 2 wide receiver behind Ladd McConkey. The TCU product's biggest issue in the past has been drops, so he'll need to demonstrate more reliable hands in order to thrive with additional volume. We saw his improved catching skills last year, as he finished the season with a career-low two drops despite handling a career-high 77% snap share. Managers should feel encouraged by his reliability last season, when he finished as the WR34 with 735 yards and eight touchdowns. He's trending up and represents an intriguing target in dynasty leagues.
