This week, I have QJ at wide receiver 62... I don't mind cutting Herbert, QJ, or even Gadson.

Johnston ranked WR62; acceptable to cut amid Chargers offensive struggles.

Matthew Berry ranks Johnston at wide receiver 62 this week, placing him well outside fantasy relevance; Berry suggests cutting him is acceptable given the Chargers' offensive struggles and Johnston's limited role in the passing game.
