Chargers News: NFL Writer Makes Bold Prediction for LA's Final WR Roster Spot

Who will wind up with it?

It's safe to say that the Los Angeles Chargers are loaded at the WR position and I'm not sure who is more excited about it heading into the 2023 season... Kellen Moore or Justin Herbert. Having all of these passing options in one place will be like entering a candy shop for the two of them and even opposing fanbases are recognizing what the Bolts are building in LA.

Many looked at the selection of top WR prospect Quentin Johnston in the 2023 draft as a bit confusing. The Chargers already have two elite receivers in Keenan Allen and Mike Williams despite them undergoing a slew of injuries the past couple of years. However, Johnston will be able to learn a lot from them in his rookie year and one day be able to take the mantle from them.

Therefore, The Athletic's Daniel Popper has opted to take a look at their major position areas and assess how the depth charts will look once the new season kicks off. With training camp just a couple of weeks away, he made some bold predictions about the final WR slots.

"The last spot in this group will be a fascinating battle to watch.

Allen, Williams, Palmer, Johnston and Davis are locks

, as far as I see it. Davis will be the kick and punt returner for the Chargers in 2023, barring an injury. I have Guyton making the roster as the sixth receiver because of his deep-field speed and size combo."

"But keep an eye on Doss, who was regularly working with the first team in the spring while Williams was absent and Palmer was nursing his injury. Doss has solid size and strong hands and made a bunch of plays in OTAs and minicamp. Guyton is coming off a torn ACL. He missed spring practices. His health could be a factor."

It will be quite the interesting storyline to watch very soon!
