Mike Williams News

Neither Rhim nor Harbaugh specified the injury Williams is currently working through. Williams has been seen working off to the side during Chargers practices over the last two days. The Chargers are counting on Williams to win a couple of jump balls per game this year, and although he is unlikely to return top-36 positional value, he could show up for a few good games, if healthy.

Per Popper, "Johnston has been working consistently with the first-team offense" while rookie WRs Tre Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith work through their "acclimation plan," following time spent on the pre-draft "banquet circuit." Mike Williams is also expected to "[push] Johnston for playing time on the outside." We can't put too much stock in Lal's "starter" comments for Johnston, as he is effectively competing against himself at this point, but it appears as though he is at least in the No. 2 wide receiver role, rather than being immediately supplanted by Williams, who returned to the team back in March. Johnston could still have mild fantasy relevance if he can secure one of the Nos. 2 or 3 wide receiver roles.
