The concussion-related availability concern is no longer the reason to discount Johnston. For fantasy managers drafting now, this restores an important piece of certainty around a receiver whose role already carries meaningful draft value.

Restore Johnston toward his pre-concussion valuation. Unless another limitation emerges, the concussion should no longer drive his draft price downward.

Quentin Johnston has cleared concussion protocol.

The Chargers receiver has removed the biggest immediate obstacle to his Week 1 availability after progressing through the league's concussion protocol.

This is exactly the type of late-draft-season information that matters. An unresolved injury creates uncertainty; medical clearance removes it. Johnston's evaluation can move back toward football, role and price rather than availability.
