2024 Season Outlooks

If you want a late-round receiver with some upside and minimal downside, consider Johnston. The second-year wideout struggled to make plays as a rookie in Los Angeles' offense, even after a prime opportunity to step up came early in the season. Expecting a bounce-back campaign is made even tougher by the Chargers' anticipated run-heavy approach on offense. Fantasy managers could draft Johnston in the Round 11-plus range and could move on from him pretty quickly if he doesn't produce in the early portion of the season.

Few rookies disappointed to the degree that Johnston did in 2023, especially in light of the opportunity that injuries to Mike Williams and Keenan Allen provided him. Among receivers with at least 50 targets, Johnston's 0.94 yards per target were ninth fewest, and his 57.6% catch and 13.2% big-play rates were significantly beneath the league's averages. Allen and Williams are now gone, expanding Johnston's opportunity, but bear in mind that he totaled 25.2 fantasy points in the four games Allen and Williams missed. Additionally, Ladd McConkey's arrival presents another obstacle to a Johnston breakout, limiting him to mere late-round fantasy consideration.
