Johnston is almost a no-brainer to start against the Cardinals – a team that ranked dead last in success rate allowed on dropbacks in 2025.

Johnston's No. 2 role and career-year momentum make him a no-brainer vs. weak Cardinals.

Johnston's 2025 season was a career year with 735 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on 51 catches. In 2026, he has even less competition for targets with veteran Keenan Allen departing for Indianapolis in the offseason. Ladd McConkey likely steps back into the Chargers' lead receiver role after finishing second on the team in catches in 2025, but Johnston is right there behind him in the No. 2 role. The source calls Johnston "almost a no-brainer to start" against the Cardinals, a team that ranked dead last in success rate allowed on dropbacks in 2025. Even with McConkey around, Johnston should see plenty of looks of his own in his debut in the Chargers' new-look offense coordinated by new OC Mike McDaniel.
