A low-risk practice squad elevation with minimal fantasy or roster implications. Headlines focus broadly on Charger struggles, not Johnson specifically, signaling his limited impact. His preseason buzz faded quickly, echoing the 'preseason star' narrative one outlet explicitly flagged. Fans see this as a desperation depth move amid a two-game losing skid. Johnson is unlikely to stick long-term unless injuries create an opening at running back.

This signing grades out as a great value signing for the Los Angeles Chargers — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Amar's on-field performance ranks in the middle of the pack among NFL RBs, grading him as a serviceable starter at the position. His $2.7M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the RB market. The value equation works strongly in the team's favor — they're getting serviceable starter production at bargain cost, which is the kind of financial efficiency that builds roster depth. Amar is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
