Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston target top 20 franchise receiving yardage
Summary

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston head into the 2026 season positioned to move into the franchise's top 20 for career receiving yards. McConkey currently sits 33rd with 1,938 yards, while Johnston ranks 34th with 1,877 yards. Both players are expected to see a larger role in the offense under Mike McDaniel. Should they reach at least 813 yards each during the 2026 season, they would surpass Curtis Gonway in the team record books.

Beyond his on-field role, McConkey has also been named a team captain for the upcoming season.
