Cameron Thomas caught fire in the fourth quarter to go over his points prop and cash our Look of the Day for Wednesday night. We're now 2-1 on the week and looking to continue a profitable run. Let's switch over to the gridiron and target our favorite prop for "Thursday Night Football."
Johnston hasn't been able to carve out a significant role in the Los Angeles Chargers offense all year, even with all the injuries plaguing the unit. The first-round pick hadn't eclipsed 52 receiving yards all season with Justin Herbert under center, but when Easton Stick took his place last week, Johnston came to life.
Against the Denver Broncos, Johnston caught three of his four targets for a season-high 91 yards. He's now gone for a season-high in receiving yards in back-to-back weeks, so this number is too low for a talented rookie who's trending in the right direction.
Additionally, Keenan Allen has been ruled out for "Thursday Night Football" against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Chargers will be down their top two receiving options, so Johnston will need to step up if L.A. has any hope of moving the ball through the air. Stick and Johnston have clearly built up some chemistry in practice throughout the year, and we think that will translate to the field for the second straight week.
