Johnston is a top-tier value who could lead the Chargers in touchdowns.

Quentin Johnston is a premier value candidate, currently going as WR41 despite showing consistent improvement. If you remove three games where he was hampered by a hamstring injury last year, he performed as the WR19. With Mike McDaniel's offensive scheme and Justin Herbert at quarterback, Johnston is expected to be the team's WR2 and could potentially lead the Chargers in touchdowns.
