Massive snap count yields little
Guyton (hamstring) finished the 2020 season with 28 receptions for 511 yards and three touchdowns across 16 games.
Analysis: The second-year player provides an example that high snap counts don't necessarily translate into fantasy success. Despite playing the 12th-most snaps of any wide receiver in 2020 and posting the third-highest average depth of target among wideouts with at least 40-plus targets (16.0), Guyton was hardly a factor in his first season as a starter. Content to use the 23-year-old as blazing speed decoy and not much more, Guyton caught three or more passes just three times all season, with two of…read more

Turns in full practice
Guyton (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Guyton's ability to take every rep Thursday clears the way for him to fill a starting role out wide for the Chargers in Sunday's game versus the Chiefs. Though Guyton has typically served as a secondary target for quarterback Justin Herbert this season, the receiver could be in store for a heightened role in the passing attack Week 17. No. 1 receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) has already been ruled out for the contest after landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list, while top tight end Hunter Henry…read more

Limited session Wednesday
Guyton was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.
Analysis: With Keenan Allen (hamstring) seemingly trending toward a second straight absence Sunday against the Chiefs, Guyton's Week 17 status gains added import. If Allen ends up out and Guyton is cleared to play this weekend, he would be taking aim at a Kansas City squad that's likely to be sitting or limiting some of its key defensive players, given that the Chiefs have already clinched the AFC's No. 1 seed.

Posts 43 yards in win
Guyton caught three of his five targets for 43 yards in the 19-16 win Sunday over the Broncos.
Analysis: For a fourth consecutive week, Guyton saw the most offensive snaps of any wide receiver, but the speedy wideout was once again used as a decoy despite Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Hunter Henry (reserve/COVID-19 list) ruled out ahead of the contest. The 23-year-old Guyton has risen from relative obscurity to tally at least 30 receiving yards in four of the last five games, but he is simply a cursory cast member when considering the rest of the Chargers' dangerous receiving ensemble.

Makes key grab in OT
Guyton brought in four of six targets for 91 yards in the Chargers' 30-27 overtime win over the Raiders on Thursday night. He also rushed once for four yards.
Analysis: On a night when both Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (back) were at least partly hobbled, Guyton took advantage of extra opportunity to post a career- and team-high yardage figure. The catch that propelled him to those accomplishments was the most critical of the game for Los Angeles, as it came in the form of a 53-yard grab on a post pattern with just 3:05 remaining in overtime and the Raiders holding a 27-24 lead. The play, which nearly resulted in a touchdown, ultimately set up a…read more

Almost invisible in win
Guyton caught just one of his three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Despite Mike Williams leaving Sunday's game early with a back injury, Guyton was a complete afterthought throughout the contest. Instead, second-year pro Tyron Johnson immediately filled the void to the tune of six receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown, and he came up with the critical catch in the waning seconds to set up a game-winning 43-yard field goal. Both Williams and Keenan Allen (hamstring) were estimated as DNPs for Monday's practice, although it remains to be seen if either injury…read more

Season high in targets
Guyton caught two of his seven targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 45-0 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Quarterback Justin Herbert was pressured tremendously throughout this game, which is likely why he looked to Guyton more times than ever before (seven targets). This matchup also marked Guyton's second time playing the most amount of offensive snaps (64), which was even more than Keenan Allen (62 snaps) and Mike Williams (59). The Chargers were unfortunately stumped in this blowout loss, but hopefully Guyton and company can turn it around for next Sunday against the Falcons.

Catches three passes
Guyton caught three of his four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to Buffalo.
Analysis: It was unclear how Guyton would perform in this less-than-ideal matchup against the Bills, but surprisingly he played just as well as Mike Williams, both catching three receptions. The receiver also played in a similar number of offensive snaps (63) compared to Williams (67). Guyton successfully caught a 46-yard pass from Justin Herbert at the very end of the game, but a bogus offensive pass interference did not allow it to count. The speedy wideout has registered multiple receptions in just…read more

Records one reception
Guyton caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 34-28 win against the Jets.
Analysis: Coming off last week's season high in receptions, Guyton did not receive the same amount of opportunities in this matchup against the Jets. His limited opportunities were due to Keenan Allen's incredible performance, as Allen tied the franchise record for most receptions in a single game. Sunday's matchup against the Bills might make it difficult to give the 23-year-old Guyton more chances to be involved.

Season high in receptions
Guyton caught four of his six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 29-21 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Sunday's matchup was a season high in targets and receptions for Guyton. The receiver saw fewer snaps (44) than Mike Williams (48) but still managed to double his number of receptions. Credit the extra emphasis on Guyton to the Dolphins' dynamic cornerback duo, as both Byron Jones and Xavien Howard made things difficult for Williams and Keenan Allen. While this was an unusually successful game for Guyton, the Chargers take on the Jets next week, which might allow for another opportunity to…read more

Solo reception in loss
Guyton caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Guyton continues to be low on the pecking order with Mike Williams, Hunter Henry and Keenan Allen once again seeing many more targets. It's a bit surprising the 23-year-old hasn't found more targets considering he continues to see plenty of playing time (69 snaps Sunday, second behind Keenan Allen's 78), but so long as Guyton maintains his exclusive deep threat role, it'll be hard to roster him in fantasy leagues.

Catches lone target
Guyton caught one of four targets for three yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss against the Broncos.
Analysis: Guyton finally saw more than three targets in a game, but unfortunately only registered one catch in the third quarter for a mere three yards. He now has nine receptions for 261 yards, while the Chargers' top two receivers, Mike Williams and Keenan Allen, have both seen more than double the yards and receptions. The 23-year-old Guyton has continued to maintain a role as a deep threat and that most likely won't change next week against Las Vegas.

Hauls in long TD in win
Guyton caught two of three targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-29 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: The second-year receiver has yet to see more than three targets in any game this season, but Guyton made his low volume count Sunday as he hauled in a pass down the sideline from Justin Herbert and turned it into a 70-yard score late in the third quarter, marking his third TD of the year. Guyton's role isn't likely to change any time soon, but he'll remain a deep threat and a DFS dart throw for Week 8's road game against the Broncos.

Catches one pass
Guyton caught one of his three targets for 49 yards in Monday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Mike Williams (hamstring) returned from his one-week absence and had an excellent performance, scoring two touchdowns and catching five of his eight targets in comparison to Guyton's single catch. Guyton had the opportunity to shine after Keenan Allen (back) left the game in the first quarter due to a back injury, but the receiver had one stellar catch and that was about it. It's unclear what Allen's status will be moving forward, but he'll have time to heal over the Week 6 bye, likely leaving…read more

Makes one reception count
Guyton secured his only target for a 72-yard touchdown in the Chargers' 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Drawing a spot start in the No. 2 wideout role in place of Mike Williams (hamstring), Guyton was nearly a complete non-factor on the afternoon before breaking free on a post pattern on the final play of the third quarter to erase a 28-24 deficit for the Chargers. The big scoring play gave those who streamed Guyton in season-long formats or utilized him as a DFS punt play something for their trouble, and it remains to be seen if the North Texas product will have another starting opportunity in…read more

Catches two passes
Guyton caught two of his three targets for 23 yards in the 21-16 loss Sunday to the Panthers.
Analysis: Guyton didn't see much of a jump in targets even after Mike Williams left Sunday's game with a hamstring injury. That's to be expected considering Guyton is essentially meant to be a speedy distraction for opposing defenses. It's unclear what Williams' status will be for next Sunday, but expect the offense to funnel even more of its production through Austin Ekeler, Keenan Allen and Hunter Henry in the event he was unable to play.

First NFL touchdown
Guyton caught one of his two targets for a 14-yard touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Guyton celebrated his first NFL touchdown, but that's all there was to celebrate. Two games in and Guyton has been quiet, only seeing three targets on 91 snaps. The No. 3 wideout's role didn't change much despite rookie quarterback Justin Herbert receiving a spot start in place of the injured Tyrod Taylor (chest), tallying just 14 yards and seeing one lone red-zone target. Contrast that to Keenan Allen (seven catches for 96 yards), Austin Ekeler (four for 55) and Hunter Henry (six for 88…read more

Snares only target
Guyton caught his lone target for 16 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Bengals
Analysis: There was some thought Guyton could emerge as an intriguing speed option if Mike Williams were ruled out Sunday after spraining his shoulder, but the big-bodied wideout managed to power through, relegating Guyton to the No. 3 role. Much like Travis Benjamin in past seasons, Guyton simply acted as an empty downfield threat through most of Sunday's game, only seeing one target and playing just under 65 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Don't expect much from the second-year wideout unless…read more

Still seeing starting snaps
Guyton continues to see first-team reps in practice, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: The injury to Mike Williams (shoulder) essentially assures that Guyton will be a starter for the team's offense at least early on, but that doesn't necessarily mean the speedster will see that many opportunities. Travis Benjamin, who occupied the same projected role Guyton will be in to start 2020, caught just 18 passes over his last 17 games with the Chargers largely acting as a decoy deep threat. The Williams injury might allow for rookies like Joe Reed or K.J. Hill to pick up prominent snaps…read more

Seeing first-team reps
Guyton saw most of the first-team wide receiver reps alongside Mike Williams on Friday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: It's worth noting the Chargers have a desperate need for a No. 3 WR with Mike Williams solidified as an outside threat and Keenan Allen locked in for almost all of the slot work. Whoever ultimately ends up winning that job would be expected to play opposite Williams on the outside, which is why Guyton's speed, which was clocked an unofficial 4.35 at North Texas' pro day, makes for an intriguing option and likely effective decoy. Manzano did note Guyton's struggles as a starter, highlighting the…read more

Won't play Sunday
Guyton (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's matchup with Kansas City.
Analysis: Guyton had played three of the last four games, playing 19 offensive snaps and failing to haul in either of his two targets in that span. With Guyton healthy scratched Sunday, Jason Moore and Andre Patton will draw the depth receiver snaps.

Promoted to active roster
Guyton was promoted to the Charger's active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Guyton will take the place of Geremy Davis (hamstring), who was placed on injured reserve. The former will serve as a depth receiver and could play a few snaps on offense Sunday in Denver.
