2025 Fantasy Outlook
Johnston arrived in Los Angeles in 2023 as the 21st overall pick and spent most of his rookie season in the starting lineup, drawing targets on a meager 13.7 percent of routes and catching just 56.7 percent of those chances. His numbers improved last season under a new coaching staff, with the yards per route more than doubling from 0.88 to 1.85, but there were still some ugly weeks along the way, including an 0-for-5 showing in the playoff loss to Houston. Johnston scored eight TDs and averaged 5.4 yards after the catch, but he pulled in just 60.4 percent of his targets while struggling to track balls downfield. The Chargers responded by drafting Tre Harris in the second round and later signing Keenan Allen, giving Johnston tough competition for perimeter snaps in a balanced offense where Ladd McConkey is the clear No. 1 receiver. While there isn't much chance of major volume growth relative to last year, Johnston does have some shot to maintain his role and improve the per-target numbers. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
During Johnston's limited session Thursday, he was seen wearing a non-contact jersey, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. A return to all activity one day later indicates Johnston is good to go ahead of Monday's game versus the Eagles, but since a hot start to the season, he's taken a significant downturn in the Chargers offense, with just a 14-148-3 line on 28 targets over his last six appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
After being drafted by the Chargers in the first round last year, Johnston had a terrible rookie season. Once Mike Williams went down with an ACL tear Week 3, Johnston typically played a lot of snaps but caught just 38 of 67 targets (56.7 percent) and surpassed 30 yards in four games. In the last five weeks of the season, Johnston averaged 58 snaps but failed to reach 30 yards even once. Despite the Year 1 struggles, Johnston should get another chance to prove himself in 2024 under a new coaching staff. Fellow WRs Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are no longer with the Chargers, replaced by second-round pick Ladd McConkey and 27-year-old DJ Chark (now on his fourth team in four years). Johnston and Joshua Palmer are the returning wideouts with experience as NFL starters, so it'll likely come down to those two, McConkey and Chark taking most of the WR snaps under running-game-focused offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not guaranteed roster spot
Johnston may have to earn his roster spot in camp after the Chargers added two wide receivers in the 2025 Draft, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ole Miss wideout Tre Harris, selected 55th overall, could take over a starting role alongside Ladd McConkey and Mike Williams, while fifth-round pick KeAndre Lambert-Smith out of Auburn offers a speed element that Johnston lacks. Johnston was a first-round pick in 2023, but he's struggled to make a consistent impact during his two NFL seasons, and the Chargers' current coaching staff and front office have no investment in him beyond what he can show on the field.
