Overlooked deep threat poised for breakout in McDaniel offense.

Quentin JohnstonWR

Breakout candidate moving to Mike McDaniel offense as primary deep threat with consensus WR43 ranking. Tara Roberts notes Johnston was overlooked after teasing breakout potential early last season (top WR through first four games with touchdowns and volume), then derailed by Chargers injuries. Now with healthier offensive line and McDaniel's scheme pushing more volume, Roberts compares him to Michael Pittman 2025—a guy everyone overlooks but massively outperforms. Johnston has the most secure role in the offense as the deep threat and is expected to benefit directly from Chargers' offensive improvements.

Johnston as the primary deep threat in the offense... he's honestly got the most secure role in the offense... He's giving me Michael Pittman 2025 vibes of a guy that everyone's just overlooking, but is going to massively outperform what he did previously.
