Johnston caught both of his two targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. That's now five touchdowns in seven games for the second-year wide receiver after he struggled to the tune of just two touchdowns over 17 games in his rookie season. Once again Johnston was effectively left wide open on his score, but at some point flukiness can be credited more towards an offensive scheme that has allowed Johnston to be a successful depth piece for a receiving corps desperate for a big-play threat. Johnston could be poised for a bit more volume when the Chargers take on the hapless Cincinnati defense next week.

Johnston and Ladd McConkey are both worth using as high-end No. 3 Fantasy receivers against the Titans, who are dealing with injuries in their secondary to L'Jarius Sneed (quad) and Quandre Diggs (foot). Johnston returned from a two-game absence with an ankle injury in Week 9 at Cleveland with four catches for 118 yards and a touchdown on five targets for 22 PPR points, and he's capable of big performances now that Justin Herbert and the Chargers have opened up the offense. And McConkey has combined for 40.5 PPR points in his past two games.

Week 9 was the second time in six games that Johnston has topped 20 PPR Fantasy points. The Chargers are trending away from the run ever so slightly so there is a real hope they can support two Fantasy-relevant wide receivers. Johnston's aDOT is down to 11 this season, which is good. His YAC/R reception is currently 8.0, which is awesome.

Johnston returned from a two-game absence with an ankle injury in Week 9 at Cleveland with a bang. He had four catches for 118 yards and a touchdown on five targets for 22 PPR points, and hopefully, he's ready for a strong finish to the season. This is the second time Johnston has scored at least 22 PPR points, and it helps that Justin Herbert has been throwing the ball more over the past month. I like Johnston as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues for the rest of the year, and he's worth adding for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Johnston secured four of five targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also rushed once for two yards. Johnston comfortably led the Chargers in receiving yards while checking in second in receptions and targets to Ladd McConkey. The highlight of the speedy second-year wideout's return from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury was a 66-yard touchdown grab on busted coverage by the Browns in the second quarter, Johnston's fourth score of the season. Johnston's receiving yards were also a season high, affording plenty of momentum heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the Titans.
