The Raiders signed Guyton to a contract Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guyton is coming off a 2023 season in which a leg injury forced him to spend the first eight games on the PUP list, and he ended the next eight contests with a disappointing total of 10 catches (on 21 targets) for 89 yards and a touchdown. In the past, Guyton has been a serviceable deep threat, having put up a career-best 31-448-3 line on 48 targets back in 2021. He'll compete for a depth role behind Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers and Michael Gallup in Las Vegas.

Guyton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Guyton didn't play the first eight weeks of the season while on the PUP list with a knee injury. He returned and didn't log any catches Week 9 but then turned some heads the following week when he caught four passes for 41 yards and a touchdown. It's been a rough time for Guyton since then, however, as he's failed to record more than two receptions or 19 yards in any of his subsequent six games even with the team's top wideout, Keenan Allen (heel), missing half of those matchups. It remains to be seen where Guyton fits into the team's future plans, but he'll finished his fifth NFL campaign with disappointing totals of 10 catches on 21 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown.

Guyton played three offensive snaps and didn't see any targets in Sunday's loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Guyton had already been seeing his opportunities decline in recent weeks, and he played a season-low 25 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps against Buffalo last Saturday. However, he was wiped out of the gameplan almost entirely against the Broncos, taking the field for just three snaps. The lack of playing time Sunday came even as top wideouts Keenan Allen (heel) and Joshua Palmer (concussion) were unable to suit up, further emphasizing Guyton's drop-off since he posted a promising four catches for 41 yards and a touchdown in this second game of the season Week 10 versus Detroit.

Guyton caught one of his two targets for 12 yards in the 24-22 loss to the Bills on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Guyton played just 17 offensive snaps, a dramatic decline from the previous six weeks in which he averaged around 38. It appears as if the speedster seems to have lost his job as the No. 3 wideout as Alex Erickson played a whopping 37 snaps, although he once again did very little with the opportunities. With Easton Stick under center for the rest of the season, there's very few options that warrant fantasy consideration.

Guyton caught both of his targets for 19 yards in the 63-21 loss to the Raiders on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
With the game out of reach very early into the contest, new starting quarterback Easton Stick spread the ball around plenty. Guyton's 31 offensive snaps were pretty typical, as was his lackluster usage. With head coach Brandon Staley gone and the Chargers essentially out of the playoff race, it wouldn't be surprising to see Guyton completely phased out for younger talent.

Guyton brought in his sole target for eight yards in Sunday's 24-7 loss to the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Guyton saw a season low in offensive snaps with only 21, which was less than half of both rookie receiver Quentin Johnston (60) and veteran castoff Alex Erickson (45). Additionally, with Joshua Palmer (knee) trending toward a return this week and quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) now out for the year, Guyton will likely see an even smaller role on an already struggling offensive team.

Guyton caught one of his three targets for five yards in Sunday's 6-0 victory over the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Although he logged the third most offensive snaps (38) among Chargers wide receivers, Guyton was hardly used offensively. The 26-year-old has brought in one or fewer receptions in three of his four games played this season and has only tallied double digits in receiving yards once in 2023. At this point, it would be an anomaly if Guyton saw a significant uptick in targets, even with the consistent playing time.

Guyton recorded one catch for four yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Guyton struggled to put up a solid game stats-wise even after a Week 10 season-high (4-41-1), but he was still third in targets and tied a season high in offensive snaps with 53. That number was likely aided by the third-quarter injury to rookie Quentin Johnston (ribs), but it's unclear if he would have been able to return. Additionally, receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) could return in the ensuing weeks, as he's already exceeded his mandated four-game absence after landing on injured reserve earlier in November. With head coach Brandon Staley reportedly unhappy with Johnston's play, it's possible Guyton could elevate to the team's No. 2 receiver for as long as Palmer is out, but fantasy managers should try and wait out the ambiguity before making appropriate roster moves.

Guyton (groin) is officially active for Sunday's home game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Guyton's set to make his return after a one-game absence. He was on the PUP list for the first seven games of the season, then caught four of eight targets for 41 yards and a touchdown over a two-game span before missing the Chargers' Week 11 loss to the Packers. When healthy, the speedster has seen consistent playing time in three-receiver sets alongside Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston.

Guyton (groin) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guyton, who is officially listed as questionable, looks set to return to the field after having been sidelined Week 11 versus Green Bay. In his last appearance, Week 10 versus Detroit, Guyton secured four of six targets for 41 yards and a score, so it's possible he handles a significant role alongside top option Keenan Allen and rookie Quentin Johnston on Sunday. Guyton's status will be made official when the Chargers release their inactive list roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.
