Though he missed OTAs, Slater was a full participant in the Chargers’ first practice of mandatory minicamp. The 26-year-old franchise left tackle is looking for a contract extension as he enters his fifth season. He is on his fifth-year option, worth $19.05 million on the season. The Chargers will extend Justin Herbert’s blindside protector soon, and Slater should join the ranks of the league’s highest-paid tackles.

This one is mostly for dynasty managers. Klotz has been drawing positive reviews from beat reporters thus far. Klotz never made a large impact as a receiver at his alma mater, Iowa State, but performed well as a blocker. Per Popper, he notably “caught five passes in Tuesday’s team drills,” though, and Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh he could be an “above-average core special teams” player. The front office curiously signed him to a three-year, $2.97 million contract, albeit a team-friendly one.

Per Popper, “Johnston has been working consistently with the first-team offense” while rookie WRs Tre Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith work through their “acclimation plan,” following time spent on the pre-draft “banquet circuit.” Mike Williams is also expected to "[push] Johnston for playing time on the outside.” We can’t put too much stock in Lal’s “starter” comments for Johnston, as he is effectively competing against himself at this point, but it appears as though he is at least in the No. 2 wide receiver role, rather than being immediately supplanted by Williams, who returned to the team back in March. Johnston could still have mild fantasy relevance if he can secure one of the Nos. 2 or 3 wide receiver roles.

McConkey dealt with hip, shoulder, knee and toe injuries last year but missed only Week 14, tying Jerry Jeudy for the PPR WR12 finish. WR coach Sanjay Lal reportedly provided McConkey with clips of Julian Edelman and Tyler Lockett as “teaching tape.” Per McConkey, Edelman “does a great job of falling forward and getting some extra yards,” and Lal adds that Lockett “had [a] great feel of when to go down.” Although fantasy managers may always be awaiting the big-play, embracing the art of falling could help McConkey produce WR1 finishes for years to come. Per Popper, McConkey and Justin Herbert “have picked up where they left off last season,” and have looked great at voluntary organized team activities.
