The Chargers have the highest team total of Week 1 (28.5 points) while hosting the Cardinals' mediocre defense. I like my boom-bust WRs on teams projected for 3-4 TDs.

Johnston's boom-bust profile fits Chargers' league-high 28.5 team total and TD projection.

Johnston was the WR23 on WR33 usage last year; he ran a little hot on TDs to get there (9% TD rate), though that's what should be expected with Justin Herbert, OC Mike McDaniel and his speed on run-away routes. The key will be making sure he's not losing 2-WR snaps from second-year WR3 Tre' Harris, as McDaniel runs 3-WR sets at near league-low rates. The Chargers have the highest team total of Week 1 (28.5 points) while hosting the Cardinals' mediocre defense. He'll face off with CB1 Will Johnson, who is once again dealing with an injury. Johnston only has a 5.5-target projection by the betting markets, so he's firmly in the boom-bust tier, but Tua Tagovailoa likes boom-bust WRs on teams projected for 3-4 TDs.
