Zion Johnson
OL - Los Angeles Chargers
Week 14 Outlook
Availability
Zion Johnson took reps at center in practice at Chargers training camp on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson is expected to attempt to make the transition after struggling at guard. He should continue to see more reps as camp progresses.
Chargers GM Joe Hortiz said the team would “experiment” with Zion Johnson at center.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson has struggled at guard to start his career. If the Chargers like the free agent options at guard more than center, a position change could be what keeps Johnson in the starting lineup.
Zion Johnson was sidelined from practice on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson has missed back-to-back practices to open the week. He'll likely have to practice in some capacity on Wednesday to have a chance of playing on Thursday against the Broncos.
The Los Angeles Chargers have selected OL Zion Johnson with the number seventeen overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact
The Chargers chose to address the offensive line to protect Justin Herbert. There were some who thought they might address wide receiver with this selection. Johnson should make an immediate impact on the Chargers offensive line to help protect Herbert as the future of the Chargers offense.
