STM Take
Johnston's climb from STTM #84 tier 8 as a rookie to #35 tier 5 to #29 tier 4 in 2025 is the slow positive trajectory of a first-round pick finally finding his role. The 6'3" 208 frame paired with a Justin Herbert offense has produced an 18-TD pace through three years. The rank is climbing but the floor games (0 PPR Week 11, 2.8 PPR Week 14) still happen.
Johnston was born in Temple, Texas, attended Temple High, and was a two-time first-team All-Big 12 pick at TCU. The Chargers took him 21st overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. Career line is 144 catches for 1,877 yards and 18 TDs across three seasons.
Strengths
- Two-year climb from tier 8 to tier 4; the developmental arc is real.
- 18 career receiving TDs on 144 catches; the red-zone touchdown rate is among the higher rates in this rank range.
Concerns
- Recent game log shows a 0 PPR Week 11; the boom-bust pattern still dominates.
- Justin Herbert's tier-5 finish in 2025 capped the air-share volume; the QB rank trend is going the wrong way.
What to watch: Whether Herbert's 2026 line rebounds to tier-3 and unlocks consistent volume; Johnston's tier-3 case rides on the QB.
