Despite some real shortcomings defensively in 2022, the Bolts elected to use their top pick on another weapon for Herbert in the form of Johnston, a 6-foot-3, 208-pounder out of TCU. While the Chargers already had real talent at the position, they didn't have anyone who could stretch the field the way Johnston can with his excellent speed. In that way, the rookie fills an immediate need and should be a nice match for Herbert, who boasts one of the better arms in the NFL.
Two things will determine Johnston's value in 2023: 1) his ability to learn Moore's offense, and 2) how many opportunities he gets when both Allen and Williams are healthy. If Johnston can pick things up quickly, he should see a lot of work, but if he struggles it might be more of a situation where he's used on a limited route tree to loosen things up underneath. If you're looking for a late-round option with some upside, Johnston could fit the bill as a WR5.

FFToday's Take: The Chargers offense has already been missing Austin Ekeler the last two weeks due to an ankle injury and will now be without Williams for the rest of the season. In his place, Josh Palmer and rookie Quentin Johnston will battle for targets. Palmer (60%) has seen a higher snap share than Johnston (22.3%) through three weeks.
