The final first-round pick of former GM Tom Telesco's tenure, Johnston followed a disappointing rookie effort with a middling sophomore campaign. While all his numbers were up, finishing with a 55-711-8 line, he was almost immediately surpassed by McConkey and was limited to flashes of big-play ability surrounded by too much inconsistency. He still has good size (6-foot-2, 208 pounds) and speed, and he did lead the team in touchdown receptions last year, but through 32 games he hasn't looked the part of a top 25 pick.
As a holdover from the previous regime, Johnston finds himself on unsteady ground. With a strong camp, he could lock down a starting job alongside McConkey and probably Tre Harris. If he fails to show much growth, it's possible the team could move on, perhaps trading him to recoup a late-round pick or even releasing him outright -- an outcome that seems more plausible the more rookie KeAndre Lambert-Smith makes headlines with his strong play in camp. Johnston is someone you'll want to keep an eye on if he lands a starting gig, though even in that scenario using a speculative late-round pick on him feels a bit too rich.

 Quentin Johnston trending towards sitting in Week 6
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Oct 11, 10:33 pm
| | Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (questionable, hamstring) is trending toward missing Sunday’s game vs. Dolphins, per source.
Barring late change, L.A. expected to be without another playmaker. (Jeremy Fowler on X)
FFToday's Take: Johnston got in a limited sessions all week in practice and is currently listed as Questionable, but it appears he's going to miss Week 6. Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey will likely be the top two targets for Justin Herbert. Tre Harris has played 17% of the snaps this season but could see an increased role in this game.
