Welcome to Part 4 of our draft preview series, which will be a position-by-position look at key prospects and where the Chargers roster stands ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. This series will include a look at which prospects could be options for the Chargers later this month.

We chatted with draft analyst Trevor Sikkema to break down the wide receivers in this draft class. Sikkema can be found on X/Twitter @TampaBayTre for his analysis.

Chargers status at wide receiver

Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Tre’ Harris, Derius Davis, KeAndre Lambert-Smith, Luke Grimm, Dalevon Campbell and JaQuae Jackson

The Chargers wide receiver position enters 2026 after another season of solid production.

While it wasn’t the numbers he put up as a rookie, Ladd McConkey once again led the Bolts in receiving yards (789) and added six more scores to his tally.

McConkey continues his stellar pace over the first two years of his career, as his 1,978 yards are the second-most among players drafted in his class and his 13 touchdowns lead the group.

Not to mention, he’s also hauled in the second-most receptions and receiving first downs among his draft class.

Quentin Johnston also headlines the Bolts receiver group, as the 24-year-old put together an even stronger season than the year before.

He surpassed his career-best yardage total with 735 and once again had a knack for the end zone, scoring a team-leading eight touchdowns.

Then there’s intriguing second-year receiver Tre’ Harris, who played a big role as a blocker and showed flashes of his ability on every level on the field.

Harris’ numbers as a rookie don’t tell the whole story and he’s now a player who enters 2026 with plenty of eyes on him to see how he can perform in Mike McDaniel’s offense.

Derius Davis and second-year receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith each handled their respective return duties last season, as they enter big years with plenty of chance to make some noise.

The group is rounded out by Luke Grimm, Dalevon Campbell and JaQuae Jackson, each of whom spent time on the team’s practice squad last season.
