Newer update on Quentin Johnston: Ladd McConkey injury update: being evaluated for head injury in Week 6 vs. Chiefs

Quentin Johnston injury update: Out for Week 5 vs. Broncos (chest)

Quentin Johnston is listed out for Week 5 against the Denver Broncos due to a chest injury.

By Cole Hartwell

Quentin Johnston will not play in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos. According to Underdog NFL, the Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver is listed out for Sunday’s game.

The chest issue kept Johnston limited in Thursday’s practice, and he was not practicing during the open portion of Friday’s session, according to Noah Furtado of The Athletic.

Johnston has 18.1 PPR points this season on 19 targets, 7 receptions and 108 receiving yards through four games. He played 80 percent of the offensive snaps.

Sleeper currently tags him as questionable with a chest injury, though that is not the team’s game status for Week 5.

The Chargers host the Broncos on Sunday, October 11.

Depth chart

Tre’ Harris is next up at wide receiver behind Johnston. Harris has 33.9 PPR points, 21 targets, 13 receptions and 209 receiving yards in four games this season. He has played 77 percent of snaps.

Brenen Thompson has 2.3 PPR points in two games. Marquez Valdes-Scantling has 2 targets and no catches in two games. Derius Davis has -0.4 PPR points in four games.

What’s next

The Chargers play the Denver Broncos at home on Sunday.

Quentin Johnston (chest) listed out for Week 5.

🏈 Fantasy impact

With Johnston out, fantasy managers should look elsewhere. Johnston has been a boom-or-bust option all season, and his absence opens the door for Tre’ Harris to see more targets. Harris has been more productive than Johnston this year with 33.9 PPR points and 13 catches for 209 yards, so he is the primary beneficiary. Harris is a low-end flex option in deeper leagues against Denver. Brenen Thompson and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are not recommended, given their limited production. Johnston can be dropped in most redraft formats.
