BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 8% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Mike Williams played only a couple of snaps a week ago facing Atlanta before being forced out of that game. He came back this past TNF but he was still a little bit banged up, which turned into just 28 snaps and a 42 percent snap share against the Raiders. The main beneficiary? Tyron Johnson, who has played more than 59% of the Chargers snaps in each of the past two games and scored 17.5 and 15.1 PPR points in each of those.
Johnson has been an afterthought all season long. The most targets he had gotten prior to Week 14 was 4 back in Week 12 (he finished 2-of-4 for 63 yards and 8.3 PPR points). In the past two games, though, Johnson has logged lines of 7-6-55-1 and 5-3-61-1. That's correct. Johnson has scored a touchdown on back-to-back games and helped LA win big mostly two weeks ago when he caught a pass for 25 yards setting up the game-winning FG for the Chargers.
Even with both Mike Williams and Keenan Allen getting healthier and probably back fully fit this week, both Guyton and Johnson will have their chances against Denver, and both have shown prowess to convert big plays and score TDs respectively.
Although Denver ranks 10th against fantasy WRs, odds are the Chargers overcome the Broncos as they did back in Week 8. In that game, Herbert threw for 278 yards and 3 TDs, and Allen/Williams combined for 14 receptions on 19 targets for 166 yards and 2 of those 3 TDs. With the top-two wideouts taking all of the defense's attention, either Guyton or Johnson should get some good looks. Johnson's floor is low, but he has a TD-ceiling that could make him a 15 PPR-point-play easily. Considering Johnson a boom/bust play worth rostering in deeper formats and playable at the FLEX slot if you're needy.
