A first-round pick last year, Johnston endured a largely forgettable first season. Despite injuries to Allen, who missed four games, and Williams, who missed 14, the then-rookie finished with 38 receptions, 431 yards, and 2 touchdowns -- he topped 50 yards in a game just twice. Things haven't gotten much better in the lead up to Year 2. The TCU product has dealt with drops during training camp, and he is currently working with the second-team offense while journeyman D.J. Chark joins Palmer and McConkey with the starting unit. That's not a great sign with a new coaching staff and GM in place.
Although it's far too early to write off a receiver with Johnston's talent, not to mention his 6-foot-4, 215-pound frame, he's not trending in the right direction. A couple of months ago, maybe you could've talked yourself into rolling the dice with a late-round selection. At this stage, however, Johnston should go undrafted in most formats.

 Justin Herbert, Josh Palmer miss practice Wednesday
Ankle injury for Herbert
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Sep 18, 12:47 pm
| | Don’t see Justin Herbert (ankle) for the start of #Chargers practice. Also do not see Josh Palmer or Junior Colson (Daniel Popper on X)
FFToday's Take: Palmer is listed on the injury report with elbow and calf issues. In the Chargers run-heavy approach, Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey saw the majority of work at receiver last week against the Panthers and both appear to be better bets than Palmer this week against the Steelers given Palmer's injury status. Herbert injured his ankle last week but played the entire game.
