Quentin Johnston has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the NFL season so far.
The Los Angeles Chargers' WR has finally come into his own, and it's been a big boost to any fantasy football managers who got him on their team.
In Week 6, though, Johnston is creating headaches.
He's a game-time decision for the Chargers' game in Miami against the Dolphins, which kicks off at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT).
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport used those exact words, "game-time decision," in a Saturday night report on the matter.
"If there is a chance of re-injury, LAC will likely hold him out," Rapoport added.

So far this season, Johnston has 26 catches for 377 yards and four touchdowns across five games.
He's coming off his quietest game of the season, four catches for 40 yards in a disappointing loss to the Commanders.
Johnston's emergence has made things a bit more confusing for the Chargers' WR production, only in the sense that there are a lot of mouths to feed.
Ladd McConkey was expected to be top dog coming off his strong rookie season, and Keenan Allen signed this offseason.
All three WRs have had solid outings, and maybe if Johnston is out, it makes McConkey and Allen a bit safer as fantasy plays.
Johnston's injury is a hamstring problem, which can always reaggravate itself during a game, too, so he's a definite risk for Week 6.
