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.

Ladd McConkey in limbo for Week 14 Knee injury By: Doug Orth | Mon Dec 2, 9:00 pm
| | Jim Harbaugh said that Ladd McConkey (knee) is “working through a couple things” and that the team will evaluate where he’s at as the week progresses.
When asked about the possibility of McConkey practicing this week Harbaugh said, “We’ll see.” (ESPN.com - Kris Rhim)
FFToday's Take: Oh boy. It is rarely ever a good thing for a coach to respond "we'll see" to a question about the likelihood of a player practicing. McConkey did not leave the Chargers' Week 13 win over the Falcons, but it was obvious he was playing in pain at some point. Fantasy managers should prepare to be without McConkey for at least this week. Quentin Johnston and Will Dissly will likely step up into bigger roles if McConkey sits out.
