    "writeup": "Eight touchdowns on 84 targets is the number that makes Quentin Johnston's 2025 glow, and it's also the number to distrust. His 11.2 points per game over 13 outings graded in the 86th percentile, but the expected-points model valued his actual usage at 127 and he scored 146, a 19-point overshoot in the 90th percentile that leaned on a scoring rate nobody sustains. The coverage numbers underneath stayed rough, 8th-percentile cushion, 16th-percentile separation and a catch rate in the bottom third, so he was winning contested balls and end-zone throws, two of the least stable skills a receiver can lean on year over year. Encouragingly, the market appears to have priced the giveback in advance, with his ADP of 103 and WR46 in half-PPR sitting below a WR41 consensus projection that already trims him to 6.9 touchdowns. The Chargers strengthen the soft-landing case, carrying a top-12 implied team total on early lines with Vegas posting 28.5 on them for Week 1 against Arizona. Ninth-round shares of a touchdown-dependent starter in a good offense are a hard way to get hurt, provided he's drafted as a spike-week WR4 and not as somebody's every-week answer.",
