Jalen Guyton Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jalen Guyton caught three of his five targets for 49 yards in a Week 1 victory versus the Washington Football Team. The speedy wide receiver was in a competition with rookie Josh Palmer and Tyron Johnson for the No. 3 spot this offseason and it appears he won that battle with Johnson being cut and Palmer only getting one target this afternoon. Guyton is known as a field stretcher and managers should consider keeping an eye on him in deeper leagues, especially with No. 2 wide receiver Mike Williams having a long history of injuries. Guyton will face a weak Dallas Cowboys secondary in Week 2, but it is best advised to see him put together some consistency before starting him.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jaylen Guyton (upper leg) suffered an upper leg injury during Tuesday's practice. He got his upper left leg wrapped up by the trainers. The severity of his injury is unknown at this time, and he's considered day-to-day. Guyton is competing with Tyron Johnson and Josh Palmer for the Chargers WR3 role. The 24-year-old caught 24 passes for 511 yards and three touchdowns over 16 games in 2020. Mike Williams is currently dealing with a hip flexor; Guyton could see his fantasy stock rise if Williams were to miss any regular-season games. The former North Texas WR is worth taking a late-round flier in deep-league formats.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jalen Guyton showed off his speed in Sunday's preseason contest versus the San Francisco 49ers. Guyton caught a beautiful 39-yard pass from quarterback Easton Stick near the end of the first half. It would be his only target on the evening. The speedster is competing with fellow wide receivers Tyron Johnson and Josh Palmer for the No. 3 spot in what should be an exciting offense this upcoming season. Guyton was used to stretch the field in rookie season and even if he wins the No. 3 job, he will be competing with running back Austin Ekeler, tight end Jared Cook and wide receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams for targets. The former North Texas wide receiver is an exciting player, but he is currently nothing more than a dart throw at the end of upcoming drafts with him likely needing an injury to Williams or Allen to see a rise in value.
