25-Year-Old GuardOG
Los Angeles Chargers
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.

Johnson (ankle) is active for Thursday night's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Johnson was a DNP for the Chargers' two walkthrough sessions Monday and Tuesday due to an ankle injury, but he was able to log a full practice Wednesday. The 2022 first-round pick will play Thursday and serve as the Bolts' starting left guard.

Box Score Breakdown: Week 15 Snaps, Routes, Personnel and Usage
5 days ago
Jerry Donabedian breaks down all the Week 15 action, including a slew of huge games from superstar wide receivers like Mike Evans and Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
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.
