## Resource

The Chargers’ offense is in crisis after a brutal Week One loss, with Justin Herbert struggling and Ladd McConkey sidelined—forcing Mike McDaniel to pivot fast. With Marquez Valdes-Scantling added for depth, the real hope lies with Quentin Johnston, whose quiet debut (2 catches, 17 yards) must turn into explosive form. Johnston’s past against the Raiders proves he can dominate—six catches, 92 yards, two TDs last year. If he ignites the passing game, the Chargers might finally find their rhythm.
