No targets in loss Johnson did not see a single target in Sunday's 29-21 loss to Miami.

Impact It's ironic that Sunday marked Johnson's highest number of offensive snaps (13) for the season, but yet he still did not see a single target. Unless a play is specifically schemed for Johnson, it's pretty evident the depth wideout has very little utility in the offense. With a low total of just three targets this season, fantasy managers should keep in mind that it will take multiple injuries until Johnson can really become a fantasy factor.

Long reception in loss Johnson caught his lone target for 50 yards during Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Raiders.

Impact After being a healthy inactive last week, Johnson returned and put on one of his best performances, catching his second 50-yard reception of the season. Johnson is rarely used as a consistent target, but it's clear the team values his big-play ability, particularly with pregame schemed opportunities. Until he starts to see more consistent snaps, however, he's simply not a relevant option in fantasy leagues.

Inactive Sunday Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Johnson was active for the past three games and had three rushes for 17 yards and a 53-yard touchdown reception, but he won't be suiting up Sunday. Joe Reed and Jason Moore will operate as the Chargers' depth wideouts.

Rushes twice in win Johnson carried the ball two times for 10 yards and saw one unsuccessful target in Sunday's 39-29 win against the Jaguars.

Impact Justin Herbert looked to Johnson once this week, but could not complete the catch. Last week Johnson was successful in his one target and turned it into a 53-yard touchdown. There are just not many opportunities available for Johnson at the moment and it will take a few injuries before he can really become a fantasy factor.

Accounts for seven yards in loss Johnson carried once for seven yards and didn't draw any targets Monday in the Chargers' 30-27 overtime loss to the Saints.

Impact Johnson turned his lone target in the Chargers' Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers into a 53-yard touchdown, but he didn't garner any looks from quarterback Justin Herbert across his five offensive snaps. The Chargers did, however, call his number on a run play on the team's first offensive snap of the night, with Johnson nearly turning it into a first down. Los Angeles should continue to make occasional use of Johnson's high-end speed on deep shots and gadget plays, but he probably won't see enough volume week to week to make for a reliable fantasy option.

Promoted from practice squad Johnson was promoted to the Chargers' active roster from the practice squad Friday.

Impact The 23-year-old was elevated to the active roster as an extra player for Week 4 and caught a 53-yard touchdown while playing eight offensive snaps, and he'll now rejoin the roster on a longer-term basis with Austin Ekeler (hamstring) heading to injured reserve. The Chargers already have six other wideouts on the roster and only Mike Williams (hamstring) is dealing with an injury, so Johnson seems unlikely to receive consistent opportunities.

Headed back to practice squad Johnson was reverted back to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, according to the NFL transactions page.

Impact Johnson delivered a 53-yard receiving score on Sunday in the team's Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers. He received an opportunity given the injury to Mike Williams (hamstring), but will now head back to the practice squad. Johnson could receive another chance if Williams cannot give it a go in Week 5, or if any other injuries occur to thin the Chargers' receiving corps.

Scores long TD in loss Johnson brought in his only target for a 53-yard touchdown reception in the Chargers' 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Impact Johnson opened the scoring with his long touchdown reception, one of two of over 50 yards for the Chargers on the afternoon. The OSU product was making his NFL debut in the contest with Mike Williams (hamstring) sidelined, and it remains to be seen if he'll head back to the practice squad ahead of a Week 5 Monday night road battle against the Saints .

Receives promotion The Chargers elevated Johnson to the active roster Saturday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact With Mike Williams (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Johnson will add depth at wide receiver. Johnson entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2019 but didn't play a game, so this will be his NFL debut if he's active.
