Outlook Quentin Johnston
Post-Hype Breakout Beckons Under Mike McDaniel's New Scheme
Quentin Johnston enters his fourth season with the Chargers locked in as a primary starting boundary receiver, operating alongside Ladd McConkey and Tre' Harris. After demonstrating solid nose-for-the-endzone capability with back-to-back eight-touchdown campaigns, Johnston has expressed immense excitement for a revamped offensive role under new coordinator Mike McDaniel. He is expected to transition into a heavy yards-after-catch threat, a facet of his game that made him a first-round talent in college.
Our projections are highly optimistic about this schematic shift, slotting Johnston for 54 receptions, 772 yards, and six touchdowns on 94 targets. This level of involvement would easily make him a stable, weekly contributor. Currently rostered in 70% of leagues, fantasy managers are starting to buy into the bounce-back narrative, although his 15% start rate reflects a cautious wait-and-see approach as training camp approaches.
This growing optimism is reflected in the draft market, where his ADP has climbed from 108 to 103 over the past month. Savvy managers are identifying him as a high-upside option in full-PPR formats. Given his primary role on the depth chart and high-ceiling offensive environment, Johnston stands out as a potential draft-day steal.

Outlook Kimani Vidal
Trade Rumors and Depth Chart Obstacles Cloud Late-Round Sleeper Appeal
Kimani Vidal enters his third season in a challenging spot, currently listed as the third option in the Los Angeles backfield behind Omarion Hampton and Keaton Mitchell. Despite taking a step forward in 2025 with 155 carries, our models expect a severe regression in volume. We project him to log just 57 carries for 229 yards and one touchdown this season.
Market sentiment is highly volatile following early June rumors suggesting Vidal could be a summer trade candidate. Interestingly, his ADP has risen from 200 in early June to 185 as of mid-July. This upward trajectory indicates fantasy managers are gambling on a potential change of scenery or a path to playing time.
Currently rostered in 53% of leagues but starting in only 3%, Vidal is purely a deep-league bench stash. Unless a trade or training camp injuries shake up the depth chart, he remains a low-upside depth piece. With a projected 56.3 fantasy points, he is a player to avoid in standard redraft formats.
