It’s no secret that the Chargers need speed at wide receiver. Justin Herbert’s average depth of target this season is a career-low 6.4, nearly a yard and a half lower than any other season of his career. Even with speedster Jalen Guyton in the lineup before he tore his ACL in Week 3, defenses were able to key in on the deep shot or quick pass: three of his four targets in 2022 came more than 20 yards down the field, and 34 of his 46 targets last season came either 20+ yards downfield or within 9 yards of the line of scrimmage.
Oh, and every other wide receiver on the team has also been injured at some point this season.
