Josh Palmer

No surprise here as Johnston was able to get in a full practice before the end of the week. Schefter's report Saturday that Johnston is expected to play barring a setback comes on the heels of a Jeremy Fowler report Friday that the 23-year-old wide receiver was "good to go" for the Wild Card Game. With Josh Palmer still out, Johnston is the primary deep threat in the Chargers offense.

LA also brought Eli Apple off IR. Both players will fill depth roles for the Chargers' in their Wild Card Round matchup with Houston. With Josh Palmer ruled out, Fehoko could be in the mix for WR3 duties along with DJ Chark.

Johnston was limited on Tuesday before being downgraded to a DNP on Wednesday. While more than a little concerning, the day off seems to have worked out in his favor. He was back on the field for the final session of the week before being listed as questionable. Johnston dominated the Chargers' targets sans Josh Palmer in Week 18. He caught 13 passes for 186 yards versus Las Vegas. With Palmer out again, Johnston should see plenty of deep shots versus the Texans on Saturday, making him a high-upside DFS play for the first slate of the weekend.

Johnston was a limited participant in two of three practices this week. If he's active, the Chargers' second-year receiver could see a slight increase in targets this weekend after Josh Palmer (foot) has already been ruled out. Johnston erupted for 13 catches for 186 yards in the Chargers' Week 18 win over the Raiders and end the regular season with a line of 55-711-8.
