Johnston caught four of his five targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in the 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday. Johnston was exceptional after missing the previous week due to a groin injury. The 2023 first-round pick had just 16 catches for 156 yards over the past seven games as Los Angeles struggled to adapt after a litany of offensive-line injuries. Thankfully for fantasy managers, Dallas presented absolutely zero issues for Justin Herbert, setting the stage for Johnston's massive game. It's hard to imagine Johnston putting together another significant day Week 17 against the fearsome Texans defense, but he's undoubtedly a key piece for the offense in terms of the deep-play threat he poses.

Johnston (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. After sitting out the Chargers' Week 15 win over the Chiefs, Johnston was a limited participant throughout Week 16 prep before taking a questionable tag into Sunday. The third-year wideout was apparently able to demonstrate enough progress in his recovery from the groin injury to gain clearance for Sunday, though it's unclear if he'll immediately reclaim the heavy snap share he had handled in each of his previous 12 contests. If the Chargers end up restricting Johnston's snap count to some degree, rookie Tre' Harris could retain a larger role in the passing game after recording three catches for 49 yards on five targets in Week 15.

Johnston (groin) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday. Rookie wideout Tre' Harris took on an 84 percent snap share with Johnston absent for Sunday's 16-13 win over the Chargers. Johnston was a late addition to last week's injury report, and while the issue doesn't seem serious, he may need a full practice Thursday/Friday to enter this weekend in good shape for Sunday's favorable matchup with Dallas.

johnston (groin) is participating in practice Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports. Johnston was added to Los Angeles' injury report in Week 15 late after being limited at practice Friday, and he was initially listed as questionable before eventually being ruled out for the team's win over the Chiefs. It seems likely that he'll be limited again Wednesday, in which case the extent of Johnston's practice activity Thursday and Friday stand to be the deciding factors in his status for Sunday's game against Dallas. Even if healthy enough to return in time for a favorable matchup against the Cowboys' defense, it will be difficult for fantasy managers to rely on Johnston given that he's exceeded 50 receiving yards just once in his last eight appearances.

Johnston (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Johnston was a late addition to the Chargers' Week 15 injury report, with Los Angeles listing him as questionable for Sunday's contest after he was unexpectedly a limited participant during Friday's practice. The third-year wideout ultimately won't be able to give it a go Sunday, resulting in him missing his second game of the season. With Johnston sidelined, the Chargers could have more reps and targets available for Keenan Allen and Tre' Harris behind No. 1 wideout Ladd McConkey.
