Shifts to injured reserve
The Chargers placed Guyton (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Guyton suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars and has been ruled out for the remainder of the season. The speedster was a solid deep threat for the Chargers over the prior two seasons, but he'd only seen 29 snaps and four targets through three games this year as Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter had surpassed him on the depth chart, so his absence won't have much of an impact on the team's passing game.

Out for season
Guyton suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars and will miss the remainder of the 2022 campaign, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Guyton caught two of three targets for 64 yards before getting hurt on Los Angeles' meaningless final drive with the game long decided. The wideout has been a solid deep threat over the past two-plus campaigns, catching 59 passes for 959 yards and six touchdowns, so his absence will be a significant blow to the Chargers offense.

Knee injury could be serious
Guyton suffered a knee injury in Sunday's 38-10 loss to Jacksonville, and there are early fears that the injury is significant, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: Guyton caught two of three targets for 64 yards before getting hurt on Los Angeles' meaningless final drive with the game long decided. Another update on Guyton's status will surface after the team performs additional testing, but he's most likely looking at a multi-week absence at minimum, as Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports that Guyton left the locker room on crutches.

Completely absent in win
Guyton did not record a reception on his lone target in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Guyton saw just five offensive snaps despite a midgame injury to Keenan Allen (hamstring). After an uneven training camp in which Guyton clearly fell behind both Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter on the depth chart, it's obvious the speedster has completely fallen out of favor with the coaching staff and likely shouldn't be rostered in most fantasy formats.

Pair of grabs in preseason opener
Guyton brought in both targets for six yards in the Chargers' 29-22 preseason loss to the Rams on Saturday night.
Analysis: Guyton wasn't able to do much with his pair of touches, although the teammate he's still hoping to beat out for the No. 3 receiver job, Joshua Palmer, couldn't corral any of his four targets. Guyton does have the edge on Palmer in experience after appearing in 35 games over the past three seasons, but it appears from recent practices the latter has the edge in the job battle.

Losing ground for WR3
Guyton has seemingly been surpassed by Joshua Palmer for the No. 3 role, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Palmer had worked with the starting unit for most of the offseason OTAs, something that has clearly carried over into the early stages of training camp. Popper did note Guyton has put together a solid camp and likely could be used in specific sub packages whenever the team needs additional speed on the field, but it's hardly a ringing endorsement for the 25-year-old after two consecutive seasons as a starter. It doesn't seem as if Guyton is on the roster bubble yet, but special teams standouts…read more

Draws praise for special teams work
Guyton earned rave reviews from Chargers head coach Brandon Staley for his performance on special teams during OTAs, Gavino Borquez of USA Today reports.
Analysis: As a capable returner and special teams gunner, Guyton looks as though he'll have a key role in 2022 on the Chargers' third unit. Guyton's outlook on the offensive end is more muddled, however, after Joshua Palmer was spotted working with the first-team offense during offseason workouts. Expect the two to have a spirited battle for the No. 3 wideout role throughout training camp.

Signs exclusive rights tender
Guyton officially signed his exclusive rights free agent tender Tuesday and will remain with the Chargers this coming season, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old finished the 2021 campaign third among Los Angeles' wide receivers in terms of yardage (448), while logging 31 receptions on 48 targets and three touchdowns in 16 games. Beyond competing for reps behind Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, Guyton could also contribute in the return game, as the Chargers haven't re-signed last season's primary returner Andre Roberts.

To receive contract tender
The Chargers are slated to extend a contract tender to Guyton, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Analysis: As a result, Guyton -- an exclusive rights free agent -- is poised to reclaim his role in the Chargers offense in 2022. The 24-year-old is coming off a 2021 campaign in which he logged 31 catches (on 48 targets) for 448 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games. This coming season Guyton will continue to work behind the team's top pass-catching options, Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, while competing with Joshua Palmer and possibly others for No. 3 wideout reps.

Excels in final game
Guyton caught six of his nine targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 35-32 loss to the Raiders. The third-year wide receiver finished the season with 31 receptions for 448 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games.
Analysis: It took until the final game of the season, but Guyton recorded season highs in receptions and targets while tallying his third effort with at least 50 receiving yards over his last five contests. Part of that extra volume was due to the Chargers furiously attempting a double-digit fourth quarter comeback, but it underscores what had been an encouraging month of December for Guyton after what looked liked a subpar season for the 24-year-old. That being said, it's hard to have much optimism from…read more

Catches two passes in win
Guyton caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Guyton and teammate Joshua Palmer shared the Chargers' No. 3 receiver role Week 17 after Mike Williams (illness) activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to the contest. Guyton played on 32 of the Chargers' 67 offensive naps, while Palmer played just one fewer snap.

Poised for No. 3 receiver role
Guyton and Joshua Palmer are expected to share the Chargers' No. 3 receiver role Sunday against the Broncos after Mike Williams (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Gavino Borquez of USA Today reports.
Analysis: While both Williams and Guyton were on the list last week, Palmer stepped in as the No. 2 wideout behind Keenan Allen and played a whopping 98 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps and finished with a 5-43-1 receiving line on six targets in a 41-29 loss to the Texans. After Guyton was activated from the list Wednesday, both he and Palmer looked poised to have regular spots in three-receiver sets this weekend, but Williams' reinstatement Thursday will close the door on that possibility.…read more

Activated from COVID-19 list
The Chargers activated Guyton (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Analysis: Guyton wasn't available during last week's loss to Houston, but he's been cleared with plenty of time to spare before Sunday's game against the Broncos. Mike Williams remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and while there's still a solid chance Williams returns this week as well, for now, Guyton tentatively slots in as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Keenan Allen.

On track to come off COVID list
Guyton (illness) is expected to be reinstated from reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Chargers are expected to get both Guyton and Mike Williams (illness) back from the list this week, after the latter was initially expected to remain out through Sunday's game against the Broncos due to his status as an unvaccinated player. However, with the NFL updating its COVID-19 return-to-play protocol and now allowing unvaccinated players to rejoin their teams if asymptomatic after five-day isolation periods rather than 10-day ones, Williams should have a decent shot at suiting up this…read more

The Chargers didn't activate Guyton (illness) from the reserve-COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Guyton (illness) has been placed on the reserve-COVID-19 list, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Tallies another score
Guyton snared both of his targets for 10 yards and a touchdown in the 34-28 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday.
Analysis: With both Mike Williams (heel) and Keenan Allen (COVID-19) back and healthy, Guyton's role predictably reverted back to his rest-of-season figures, but the speedy target did manage to snag his third consecutive touchdown thanks to a short red-zone pass. It's hard to imagine Guyton, who had back-to-back games with at least 87 yards and a touchdown prior to Thursday, will emerge as a key piece in Los Angeles' passing attack, but it's clear Justin Herbert has developed a bit of budding confidence…read more

Shines in win
Guyton caught all three of his targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in a 37-21 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: After a disappointing start to the season in which the wideout did not record a touchdown through 12 weeks, Guyton has had back-to-back strong games with at least 87-plus yards and a touchdown. The 24-year-old has shined as the Chargers' deep-threat option, catching a 59-yard touchdown pass and a 44-yard touchdown pass over the past two weeks. The wideout's deep-ball ability has opened up a lot of offensive production underneath as defenses have now started to worry about the long pass. In the…read more

First TD of 2021
Guyton caught all four of his targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Guyton made an impressive 44-yard catch against man coverage, coming down with a nifty jump ball for his first score of the 2021 season. The rarely utilized wide receiver also saw his most targets since Week 6, capitalizing on quarterback Justin Herbert's willingness to spread the ball around Sunday. Don't expect Guyton to emerge as a crucial target most weeks as the Chargers have become heavily dependent on a narrow target tree of Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler.

Grabs key catch on fourth down
Guyton caught two of his three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: The Chargers never managed to gain much traction against a stifling Broncos defense, but Guyton did help the team with a critical 15-yard catch-and-run on fourth-and-4 near the end of the third quarter. The drive ultimately ended thanks to an ill-timed interception, but that reception was arguably one of Guyton's lone highlights of the season to date. The speed threat now has back-to-back games playing at least 50 percent of the offensive snaps, but the extra workload predictably hasn't…read more

Posts 18-yard catch in win
Guyton caught one of two targets for 18 yards while also carrying the ball once for two yards in Sunday night's 41-37 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Guyton has not had a game with more than one catch since the Week 5 contest against the Browns. However, the receiver has recorded a catch of at least 15-plus yards in five of his last six games. After splitting a lot of the third wide receiver role last week, Guyton out-snapped Josh Palmer 41 to 23 on Sunday night.

Zero catches in loss
Guyton did not catch a pass and had just one target in Sunday's 27-20 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Guyton's disappointing season continues as he was unable to catch a pass for the second time this season. The 24-year-old was only on the field for 31 percent of offensive snaps, a number significantly less than his season average. Not only did the young receiver put up nothing offensively, but Josh Palmer, his main competition for the No. 3 wide receiver spot, caught three passes for 22 yards. Look for Guyton's workload to continue to decrease as he splits offensive snaps with Palmer.

One catch in win
Guyton caught one of two of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's win over the Eagles 27-24.
Analysis: As the No. 3 wide receiver, Guyton has not been targeted much this season. It's a bit concerning that the speedy wide receiver saw his snap-share dip coincide with rookie Josh Palmer taking a small jump in playing time, but neither did much with the Chargers' trio of tight ends all putting together positive outings. It's possible Palmer's development as a prospect could result in a more even playing-time split over the coming weeks, but neither figures to see enough volume to be fantasy…read more

Hardly utilized in loss
Guyton caught one of his two targets for 18 yards in the 27-24 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: Guyton now has one or fewer catches in four of the last five games after emerging as the No. 3 wide receiver to begin the season. Primarily a run blocker and speed decoy, Guyton will see plenty of playing time any given game, but it's hardly useful for fantasy purposes.

Incredibly inefficient in loss
Guyton caught just one of his five targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: For the first time all season the Chargers passing attack, particularly Mike Williams and Keenan Allen, was completely stifled, which allowed for Guyton to get an usually high five targets. The lack of efficiency with those opportunities likely has more to do with numerous uncatchable passes thrown by Justin Herbert and less of an indictment on Guyton, but it's obviously a difficult line nevertheless. The Chargers will lick their wounds heading into a Week 7 bye before returning to play Oct. 31…read more

Critical catch in win
Guyton tallied two receptions (on three targets) for 35 yards in Sunday's 47-42 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Guyton continues to see plenty of snaps but simply hasn't been a major factor. Known more for his speed rather than his strength, Guyton showcased the latter on a nifty 21-yard reception in the second half but was otherwise hardly used. Given the Chargers' narrow passing tree, it's hard to imagine Guyton emerging as a reliable fantasy option most weeks.

Does little in win
Guyton caught one of his two targets for nine yards and also registered two carries for 20 yards in the 28-14 win over the Raiders on Monday.
Analysis: Guyton once again saw a healthy 42 offensive snaps, whereas No. 4 wideout, Josh Palmer, saw a paltry seven total, but the speedy option once again did little with the playing time. After seeing five targets in Week 1, Guyton has more carries (four) than catches (three) over the last three weeks, essentially reverting back to his 2020 days as an offensive decoy.

Carries once Sunday
Guyton didn't catch his lone target but rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Guyton handled 41 offensive snaps (62 percent) but couldn't beat out Mike Williams, Keenan Allen and Austin Ekeler for a piece of the target pie. The 24-year-old has deep-threat appeal and could be used on gadget plays, but he's not a dependable fantasy option.

Just two receptions
Guyton caught his two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: It was a disappointing outing for Guyton after emerging as the team's third wideout in the Week 1 win. Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler combined for 260 of the 338 total receiving yards, so the lack of opportunities could easily be attributed to the trio's brilliance. It might be difficult for Guyton to break out against a Chiefs defense that has done a good job limiting big plays from the passing game this season.

Emerges as No. 3 wideout
Guyton caught three of his five targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 20-16 victory over Washington.
Analysis: Guyton, not Josh Palmer, was clearly the team's No. 3 wideout behind Keenan Allen and Mike Williams as the speedy wideout was a certifiable threat for quarterback Justin Herbert in the intermediate level. Underutilized as simply a speed decoy in Anthony Lynn's offensive system, Guyton could be poised to actually make good on his large number of snaps on a week-to-week basis.

All cleared for Week 1
Guyton (leg) was not listed on the Week 1 injury report Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Guyton missed most of the final week of training camp with a leg injury, but the speedy wide receiver appears to be past the issue. It'll be interesting to see how much Guyton plays after the 24-year-old lost a training-camp battle to rookie Josh Palmer for the team's No. 3 wideout role.

Guyton (leg) remains sidelined for Wednesday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Chargers haven't released any information at this point as to the severity of the leg injury that forced Guyton off the practice field Tuesday, but his exclusion from Wednesday's practice indicates a night's rest wasn't enough to get him back on the field. Look for a proper timetable to form once the coaching staff speaks on the issue.

Analysis: The specifics of the issue remain unclear, though Guyton was seen getting his upper leg wrapped at Tuesday's practice. The 24-year-old caught 28 passes for 511 yards and three touchdowns last season and is competing for the No. 3 job at wide receiver with Tyron Johnson and Josh Palmer.

Breaks off 39-yard catch
Guyton caught his lone target for 39 yards in Sunday's 15-10 preseason loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Guyton ended up leading the Chargers in receiving yards despite making just one catch, as he was the only receiver able to break through the 49ers' tight coverage in this exhibition. The third-year wideout currently is battling for the vacant No. 3 WR job, so Sunday's big play should help his bid. Expect things to remain competitive between Guyton, Tyron Johnson and rookie Josh Palmer heading into the Chargers' third preseason tilt against the Seahawks on Saturday.

Falling behind for No. 3 job
Guyton has been outplayed by Josh Palmer and Tyron Johnson (foot) through the first week of training camp, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The three are competing to be the Chargers' No. 3 receiver, a role Guyton handled for most of last season, though he drew only 55 targets on 920 offensive snaps. While the team could get its third wideout more involved now that TE Hunter Henry is gone, the role still figures to entail a lot of blocking and clear-out routes. The blocking responsibilities might work in Guyton's favor, but Johnson is probably the better deep threat and Palmer is the only one the Chargers really have an investment…read more

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

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.

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

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.

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.
