Quentin Johnston Fantasy Overview

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. He didn’t practice all week, though, so he’s seemingly on the wrong side of that questionable tag. WR Quentin Johnston (chest) has been ruled out, and so has WR Brenen Thompson (quad). That leaves Tre Harris, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Derius Davis as the only healthy WRs on the active roster. WRs Theo Wease and Gary Jennings are on the practice squad.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston managed just 1 catch among 2 targets in Sunday's loss at Seattle. That lone reception did gobble up 44 yards, at least, which landed him second among Chargers in receiving yards for the game. But he tied RB Omarion Hampton and WR Ladd McConkey (who left in the first half) for just fifth on the team in targets. Tre' Harris led the team's WRs with 5 targets and 3 catches for a team-high 60 yards.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey made just 4 catches for 66 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bills. His 5 targets ranked third on the team. But it was a positive outing if only for presenting his first full set of playing time this season. McConkey played more offensive snaps than anyone but QB Justin Herbert and the O-line. He tied WR Quentin Johnston for the team lead in routes (32), running on 84.2% of Herbert's dropbacks.

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh called WR Ladd McConkey "day to day" with the rib injury he suffered in the opener. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that McConkey will be monitored throughout the week before a decision is made on his Week 2 availability. "Sounds like his status is up in the air against the Raiders next week," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport adds. McConkey owners should make plans to be without him this week, but it sounds like he avoided a long-term injury. McConkey's absence vs. Vegas on Sunday would leave Quentin Johnston and Tre Harris as the Chargers' top 2 WRs. Harris is worth adding in most fantasy leagues.
