2023 Fantasy Outlook
An ACL tear in Week 3 ended Guyton's 2022 campaign prematurely, but the speedy target had already lost significant ground in the receiving corps depth chart with the emergence of second-year target Joshua Palmer. The 25-year-old re-signed with the Chargers in April and is expected to provide depth behind a solid trio of returnees (Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Palmer). Also in the Chargers' wideout equation are a pair of talented rookies in first-rounder Quentin Johnston, as well as Derius Davis, a fourth-rounder who could compete for the speed-relevant packages Guyton would normally factor into.

Re-signs with Los Angeles
The Chargers re-signed Guyton on Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Guyton tore his ACL in Week 3 of last season but is on the field for the start of offseason workouts Monday, according to Popper. He wasn't tendered an offer as a restricted free agent earlier this offseason but now is back at a cheaper rate. Guyton has speed to burn as a deep threat, but the Chargers really need to focus on upgrading their wideout room in the NFL Draft later this month.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Guyton began to pick up steam toward end the 2021 season, as the speedster registered three games with 50 or more receiving yards over his final five contests. However, it's worth noting that injuries to Keenan Allen and Mike Williams plus favorable game scripts created most of the positive turnaround. If not for that stretch, Guyton's second season as the Chargers' No. 3 wideout would have been a quiet one, as Joe Lombardi's offense seemingly phased out the 24-year-old for more multi-TE sets. Meanwhile, 2021 third-rounder Joshua Palmer also seemed to gain chemistry with QB Justin Herbert toward the end of the season, which accounts for another knock against Guyton's 2023 upside. Situated in one of the most explosive offenses in the league, Guyton could still yield some fantasy utility when extra snaps are available, but his otherwise consistent volume will remain an issue.
