2024 Fantasy Outlook
The 2022 first-round pick hasn't quite lived up to his draft status as Johnson once again put together a ho-hum performance within the team's interior offensive line. The addition of the No. 5 overall pick, Joe Alt, at right tackle and longtime veteran center Bradley Bozeman should elevate the team's overall offensive line play, which should hopefully allow the 24-year-old to blossom in his third year as a starter.

Good to go vs. Cardinals

October 18, 2024
Johnson (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Johnson popped up on the Chargers' injury report Thursday due to an ankle injury he likely sustained in Week 6 against the Broncos. It doesn't appear to be a major issue, considering the 2022 first-round pick was able to practice in full Friday. Barring any setbacks, Johnson should start at right guard Monday against the Cardinals.

2022
Johnson was arguably the team's most consistent offensive lineman in his rookie season playing 99 percent of the offensive snaps while shoring up a right guard spot that had been problematic for years. The 23-year-old did incur seven penalties including four holding, but the hope is a switch to left guard, his more natural position, and being located inbetween stalwarts Rashawn Slater and Corey Linsley, will mask any sort of deficiencies along the left side of the offensive line.
Johnson was selected 17th overall in this year's NFL Draft by the Chargers after being named a first-team All-American for Boston College in 2021. Many people consider the 6-foot-3, 316-pound lineman the most talented guard from this draft class as he tested above the 90th percentile in jumps and shuttle at the NFL Combine and displayed his versatility throughout his collegiate days, transitioning between the guard and tackle positions. Expect Johnson to essentially have the starting right guard spot locked up entering Week 1.
