Quentin Johnston on the Bolts' Overtime SNF Win vs. Bengals Wide receiver Quentin Johnston speaks to the media about the Chargers' Week 11 win over the Bengals on SNF.

3 DAYS AGO • CHARGERS.COM

Third straight touchdown Johnston caught two of his eight targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the 34-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Impact Johnston's eight targets was a season high, but the dismal completion rate mires the stat somewhat. The second-year wide tallied a touchdown in his third straight game in what amounted to yet another relatively easy pitch-and-catch touchdown, a theme of Johnston's scores for most of the season. It's possible the streak could continue against another soft defense against the pass in the Ravens come Week 12.

Quentin Johnston on His Touchdown & Win Over Titans Quentin Johnston spoke to reporters after the Chargers' win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 10 of the 2024 season.

NOVEMBER 11 • CHARGERS.COM

Yet another touchdown in win Johnston caught his two targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in the 27-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Impact That's now five touchdowns in seven games for the second-year wide receiver after he struggled to the tune of just two touchdowns over 17 games in his rookie season. Once again Johnston was effectively left wide open on his score, but at some point flukiness can be credited more towards an offensive scheme that has allowed Johnston to be a successful depth piece for a receiving corps desperate for a big-play threat. Johnston could be poised for a bit more volume when the Chargers take on the hapless Cincinnati defense next week.

Stellar showing in return Johnston secured four of five targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Impact Johnston comfortably led the Chargers in receiving yards while checking in second in receptions and targets to Ladd McConkey. The highlight of the speedy second-year wideout's return from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury was a 66-yard touchdown grab on a busted coverage on the part of the Browns in the second quarter, Johnston's fourth score of the season. Johnston's receiving yards were also a season high, affording plenty of momentum heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the Titans.

Full practice Thursday Johnston (ankle) practiced fully Thursday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact After missing two straight contests, Johnston is poised to return to action Sunday against the Browns. In the process, he'll bolster a Chargers wideout corps that also features Ladd McConkey, Joshua Palmer, and possibly DJ Chark (groin). Through five games thus far, Johnston has caught 14 of his 22 targets for 164 yards and three touchdowns, a pace that puts the 2023 first-rounder on the fantasy radar in deeper formats.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Logs limited practice Johnston (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Johnston has missed back-to-back contests, but his ability to continue to practice in a limited fashion offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Browns. Once he's cleared to play again, Johnston will bolster a Chargers wideout corps that also features Ladd McConkey (hip) and Joshua Palmer. In the five games he's suited up for this season, Johnston has hauled in 14 of his 22 targets for 164 yards and three TDs.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Sunday Johnston (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Johnston, who was also inactive this past Monday against the Cardinals, was deemed a non-participant in practice Wednesday through Thursday before being working in a limited fashion Friday and then being listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest. In his continued absence, Ladd McConkey, Joshua Palmer and Simi Fehoko are in line to lead the Chargers' Week 8 WR corps, with Brenden Rice, Jalen Reagor and Jaylen Johnson in reserve.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Week 8 Johnston (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Johnston injured his ankle Week 6 in Denver but was able to play through it. Having said that, he hasn't practiced in the meantime and now is in danger of missing a second contest in a row. Johnston's status thus will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. As for the rest of Chargers' receiving corps, Ladd McConkey (hip) and DJ Chark (groin) are listed as questionable and Derius Davis (hamstring) is listed as doubtful, so Joshua Palmer, Simi Fehoko and Brenden Rice as the healthy options on the active roster, while Jalen Reagor, Dez Fitzpatrick and Jaylen Johnson are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Johnston (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday.

Impact Johnston, who missed this past Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals, now has one more chance to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, but at this stage his status for the contest looks cloudy. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Johnston has any chance to return to action this weekend. Meanwhile, fellow WRs Ladd McConkey (hip) and Derius Davis (hamstring) have also missed back-to-back practices.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Another missed practice Johnston (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Johnston, who was inactive for Monday night's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals, has now missed four straight practices, which clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Saints. If he's unable to suit up this weekend, Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Simi Fehoko would once again be in line to lead the Chargers' WR corps in Week 8.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Monday Johnston (ankle) is inactive for Monday night's contest against the Cardinals.

Impact An ankle issue led to Johnston being listed as a non-participant in practice Thursday through Saturday before approaching Monday's game listed as doubtful. In Johnston's absence versus Arizona, look for Ladd McConkey and Joshua Palmer to lead the Chargers' Week 7 receiving corps, with Simi Fehoko mixing in and Brenden Rice and Jalen Reagor available in reserve. Johnston's next chance to suit up for game action will arrive Sunday against the Saints.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Monday Johnston (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday's contest against the Cardinals.

Impact It appears as if the second-year wideout is trending towards not playing Monday after failing to practice all week. The Chargers are dealing with an absurd number of injuries to their receiving corps with Ladd McConkey (hip, questionable), Simi Fehoko (shoulder/groin) and tight end Hayden Hurst (groin, doubtful) all listed on the injury report. D.J. Chark (groin) could make his season debut, but the beleaguered wideout room could mean limited passing production for quarterback Justin Herbert.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Friday Johnston (ankle) didn't practice Friday.

Impact After being listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Johnston didn't work in Friday's session, which sets the stage for what (if anything) he does Saturday to be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up Monday night against the Cardinals. In five games to date, Johnston has caught 14 of his 22 targets for 164 yards, though the wideout has helped the fantasy prospects of those who roster him by catching three TDs in that span.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Thursday Johnston (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact Johnston exited this past weekend's win over the Broncos after suffering an ankle injury, and though he was able to return to the contest, the wideout's absence from Thursday's practice makes his status worth monitoring ahead of Monday night's game against the Cardinals. Meanwhile, fellow WRs Ladd McConkey (hip) and Simi Fehoko shoulder/groin) are also on the Chargers' Week 7 injury report after logging limited sessions Thursday.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing Johnston (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Johnston returned to Sunday's 23-16 win over the Broncos after briefly exiting with an ankle injury. He'll now have an extra day to prepare for the next game, with the Chargers playing at Arizona on Monday. The first official practice report will come Thursday afternoon.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Muted performance in win Johnston caught three of his four targets for 22 yards in the 23-16 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Impact Johnston's longest reception was only eight yards underscoring what was the 23-year-old's second consecutive disappointing fantasy performance. This was the fourth game in which the Chargers attempted more runs than passes; even though Johnston is one of the team's top passing options, the offense's sheer disinterest in passing the ball will make the 2023 first-round pick an unreliable option most weeks.
