Patriots and 49ers Named Among Suitors for 16-TD WR Over Past Two Seasons

To say the season hasn't gone as planned for the New England Patriots would be putting it lightly, as New England hasn't been able to do enough on either side of the ball for a lot of this season.

At the same time, this is still a 1-2 team with a nice win against the Pittsburgh Steelers and just a three-point loss against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

Sunday's Week 3 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars obviously didn't go as planned, and the Patriots lost 35-6. The Patriots offense struggled once again, and with A.J. Brown and others injured, there's an argument that they could use some help on that side of the football.

Bleacher Report recently suggested one way to change that, noting that Quentin Johnston, the Los Angeles Chargers' former first-round pick who hasn't been great in the NFL, could be a possible fix.

"The fourth-year receiver topped 700 receiving yards in each of the past two seasons but has been an afterthought in Mike McDaniel's offense. He has just six catches for 64 yards through three weeks and has watched Tre' Harris take over the WR2 role opposite Ladd McConkey.

"Johnston should still interest receiver-needy teams, though, as he has a high physical ceiling and another year on his rookie contract—Los Angeles did exercise his fifth-year option. Potential Suitors: New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers," Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report wrote .

Johnston is a decent player based on some numbers he's put up throughout his career.

However, he's also dropped passes at a ridiculously high rate. If the Patriots and Drake Maye could add a player coming off two straight seasons with at least 700 yards and touchdowns for a reasonable price, it wouldn't be a bad idea, but they shouldn't expect him to be a savior.
