Stevie Johnson, WR, San Diego Chargers

The San Diego Chargers have struggled to keep wide receivers on the field this season but should get one of their starters back this week. Stevie Johnson is back at practice and stands a good chance to suit up against Oakland.

Johnson was very effective running out of the slot before his injury a few weeks ago. A player that holds greater value in PPR leagues, the former Buffalo Bill posted three straight games of seven receptions before his injury. If he's able to return without any major limitations, there's no reason to assume he wouldn't immediately resume his integral role in this offense.

The Chargers play the Thursday night game, so we should have clarity in plenty of time to make lineup decisions. Because he still bears a questionable tag, you'll need to monitor his situation closely before locking him in this week.
