Through the first six games of the 2024 season, no Chargers player has more than 300 yards receiving. In fact, only one of them (Ladd McConkey) has more than 200. Of course, when you’re throwing for less than 190 yards per game on top of the way Justin Herbert likes to spread the ball around, even a benchmark that low will be tough to get to.
So in case those initial stats didn’t alert you to it, yes, the Chargers need some extra help at wide receiver! Injuries kept both Quentin Johnston and Derius Davis out of last week’s game and without those two in the lineup, the extremely shallow depth of the receiver group was on full display.
