Furthermore, given the popularity of fantasy football, some Arkansans may be directly invested in Johnston's performance and his team's decisions regarding him. An injury or trade greatly impacts their players' weekly output. --- Los Angeles, CA - Los Angeles Chargers General Manager Joe Hortiz addressed rumors concerning the potential trade of wide receiver Quentin Johnston on Thursday.
