What happened: Pro Football Focus identified Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston as a potential trade candidate. Speculation surrounds the former first-round pick ahead of the midseason deadline.

Why it matters: Johnston has struggled to establish himself since Los Angeles drafted him 21st overall out of TCU. His uncertain status follows prior reports listing Johnston among possible trade targets as the Chargers navigate a winless start.

By the numbers: Through his first four games of the 2026 season, Johnston has posted a 0.93 yards per route run average and a 22.2 percent drop rate. The Chargers currently sit at the bottom of the standings with an 0-4 record.

What to watch: Los Angeles must decide whether to move the receiver before the trade deadline.
