Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) practiced all week and is off the final injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns after missing the last two contests. Johnston drew a 19.4% target share over the first four games of the season, which is more exciting with the Chargers throwing more lately. Still, Johnston would be a desperation Week 9 fantasy play.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. That should give him a good shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Browns. Johnston averaged just 4.5 targets, 2.8 catches, and 36 yards over the first four games of the season, although he scored three times. He has a chance to be a fantasy factor with the Chargers throwing more lately, but Johnston should not be in your Week 9 fantasy plans.
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. The rookie only got in a limited practice on Friday but did play through this hip issue last week. WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) is inactive, and WR D.J. Chark (groin) remains on IR.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Saints. WRs Ladd McConkey (hip) and D.J. Chark (groin) are questionable. McConkey played through this hip issue last week, so we’re expecting him to play against the Saints. But the hip issue adds risk to a guy who was a low-upside fantasy starter to begin with.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He missed Monday night's loss to the Cardinals and is seemingly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Saints. WR Simi Fehoko stepped into Johnston's spot vs. the Cardinals, catching three of six targets for 45 yards.
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (hip) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Cardinals. WR Simi Fehoko (shoulder, groin) is also active. WRs Derius Davis (hamstring) and WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) are inactive. WR D.J. Chark (groin) was not activated and won’t play tonight. McConkey, Josh Palmer, and Fehoko figure to serve as Los Angeles’ top three WRs in this one.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) did not practice all week and is doubtful for Monday night's game vs. the Cardinals. WR Ladd McConkey (hip) is listed as questionable after a limited week of practice. WRs D.J. Chark (groin), Derius Davis (hamstring), and Simi Fehoko (shoulder, groin) are also officially questionable. Josh Palmer and Brendan Rice are the only healthy WRs on the active roster. We'll see if the Chargers make a promotion from the practice squad ahead of kickoff. McConkey has been the only fantasy-viable WR here for most of the season. If you were hoping to start him this week, make sure you have a backup plan from the Chargers, Cardinals, Bucs, or Ravens rostered in case the rookie ends up inactive on Monday night.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) has missed the first two practices of the week, putting his availability for Monday night’s game against the Cardinals in question. We’ll see how he’s listed on the final injury report on Saturday afternoon.
Chargers WR Josh Palmer (calf, elbow) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Steelers. His absence likely means more snaps for WRs Derius Davis and Simi Fehoko, but neither is a fantasy option. WRs Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey could pick up extra targets with Palmer out.
There's "optimism" Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) will be able to play vs. the Steelers today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Herbert only got in a limited practice on Thursday this week as he battles what he said is a high-ankle sprain. ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that Herbert is "preparing to play" today but that a final decision won't come until pregame warmups. Schefter adds that the Chargers will likely have Herbert and QBs Easton Stick and Taylor Heinicke active. We'll get Los Angeles' inactives around 11:30 am ET, but Herbert is not a recommended starter in any fantasy leagues this week.
Chargers WR Josh Palmer (calf, elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. He didn’t practice all week, so he’s likely on the bad side of 50/50. Palmer’s absence would likely mean more snaps for WRs Derius Davis and Simi Fehoko, but neither is a fantasy option. WRs Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey could pick up extra targets.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston scored twice in Sunday’s game against Carolina. The second-year pro totaled 51 yards on 5 catches in a blowout win.
The Chargers placed WR D.J. Chark (hip) on IR. He's out for at least the first four games of the season. Chark looked like the favorite to open the season as Los Angeles' starting outside WR opposite Josh Palmer, but WR Quentin Johnston will now get another crack at that job. We're not very optimistic Johnston will take advantage, but he's worth monitoring in tomorrow's opener vs. the Raiders. Chark can be dropped in all redraft leagues.
Chargers WR D.J. Chark (hip) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. That should give WR Quentin Johnston a shot at a full slate of snaps, although he still shouldn’t be anywhere near fantasy lineups.
Chargers QB Justin Herbert (foot) was on the field for Monday's practice. The Athletic's Daniel Popper posted video of Herbert taking a couple of half-speed dropbacks and launching deep balls.
Chargers QB Justin Herbert has been diagnosed with a plantar fascia injury in his right foot, the team announced.

Thursday's starter vs. starter drills at Chargers camp found second-year WR Quentin Johnston working with the second team, according to The Athletic's Daniel Popper. The first-team trio: Ladd McConkey, D.J. Chark, and Joshua Palmer.
