WR · LAC · #1
From WR30 to WR97 through 4 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish.
Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
4,796
Range 4,547–5,407
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Injured — score leans to the low end of the range until he returns.
Proven WR in his prime — production and runway both hold.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Johnston caught 7 passes for 108 yards in 2026, ranking WR97 through 4 games. Through 4 games the rank is WR97, off a WR30 season. Wait for more games before calling it a decline. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
