Los Angeles Chargers Transactions

Sunday, January 15

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) has an "outside chance" to play in the Divisional Round, assuming the team advances that far, according to a report from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Williams appeared in 13 games this year, which was the lowest mark since his rookie season. The 28-year-old totaled 63 catches, 895 yards, and four touchdowns. He'll be a strong DFS option once he returns in the playoffs, but until then, look for Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter to see more snaps alongside Keenan Allen.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DeAndre Carter (ankle) is questionable to return against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He injured himself in the second quarter of Saturday's Wild Card game after racking up two catches for 17 yards. With Carter sidelined and Mike Williams (back) ruled out, Los Angeles will move forward with Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer, and Michael Bandy leading its wide receiver position.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) has been ruled out for the wild-card game on Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Williams didn't practice at all this week and was listed as questionable on the final injury report on Thursday, but he has since been downgraded to out. Head coach Brandon Staley curiously played the starters late into a meaningless Week 18 contest last week, and he paid the price with Williams getting hurt. If the Bolts get past the Jags this weekend, it's unclear if Williams would be able to make it back for the Divisional Round. With Williams out, it puts a damper on quarterback Justin Herbert's fantasy appeal, while top wideout Keenan Allen should be a target hog. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter also become interesting DFS sleeper plays.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) suffered a small non-surgical fracture in his back in the Week 18 regular season finale that is expected to keep him out for the next two to three weeks, according to sources. It means that barring a Chargers Super Bowl run, Williams' season is likely over. Head coach Brandon Staley is probably wishing he didn't play his starters so deep into a meaningless game last Sunday. With Williams out for the foreseeable future, it makes quarterback Justin Herbert slightly less attractive in playoff leagues, while Keenan Allen should be a target hog in this offense. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will also have bigger roles and are absolutely worth a look as low-cost DFS sleeper selections.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) did not participate in Thursday's practice and is officially questionable for the wild-card game this Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Brandon Staley says there's a genuine chance that Williams plays despite not practicing this week, and Staley confirmed that Williams will travel with the squad. The team will likely wait until closer to game-time before making a final decision. The 28-year-old appears to be risky DFS option considering he's not 100 percent healthy heading into this game. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on Williams.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice. Williams suffered a back injury in the Week 18 regular season finale and had to be carted to the locker room. However, X-rays came back negative and the 28-year-old is believed to be dealing with nothing more than a back contusion. Head coach Brandon Staley said on Monday that he thinks Williams will be able to practice at some point this week. Still, it casts some doubt about how healthy he'll actually be in the wild-card game this Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars if he's active. As long as Williams practices on Wednesday or Thursday, he should be active, but then the question becomes: Should fantasy managers trust him?
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) did not participate in the team's practice on Wednesday. Williams suffered a back injury during the Chargers' Week 18 contest and should be considered questionable to suit up against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. Head coach Brandon Staley expressed on Monday that he expects the 28-year-old to practice at some point ahead of Saturday's matchup, so Williams' activity will be worth monitoring throughout the rest of the week.

Tuesday, January 10

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers offensive tackle Rashawn Slater (biceps) has been designated to return from the injured reserve. Slater has been out since he tore his biceps tendon towards the end of September. He won't suit up for the playoff matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, Slater has a chance at returning during the postseason, assuming the Chargers advance. He would certainly give his offensive line a boost if he's able to get back on the field this season.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) suffered a back injury in the Week 18 loss to the Denver Broncos and was seen limping out of the locker room after the game, barely able to put any weight on his left side. X-rays at the stadium came back negative, but his lower-back injury will be further evaluated on Monday. Head coach Brandon Staley made the questionable decision to play his starters on Sunday in a meaningless game -- the Chargers had already locked up the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs. Although his X-rays were negative, it doesn't mean that Williams will be ready to play in the wild-card round this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which would be a big loss for the offense. If Big Mike is unavailable, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will have bigger roles alongside target hog Keenan Allen.
		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that wide receiver Mike Williams' (back) MRI exam showed no fractures or muscle injuries in his back. Williams is dealing with a contusion, and Staley expects him to return to practice at some point this week. It's great news for the 28-year-old after he was injured in a meaningless Week 18 regular season finale against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Williams finished the regular season with 63 catches on 93 targets for 895 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games played, and he'll be a critical part of the Bolts offense on wild-card weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars if he's able to play. If he's limited at all or inactive, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would handle bigger roles behind Keenan Allen.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Broncos. It's a meaningless game for LA, although head coach Brandon Staley opted to keep his starters on the field longer than expected. However, it resulted in a back injury for Williams, who left the bench on a cart. Despite the designation, the wideout is likely done for the day. If that's the case, he'll finish four catches for 32 yards. Hopefully, the injury isn't anything severe, especially with the postseason on the horizon.

Thursday, January 05

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (shoulder) is listed on the team's Week 18 injury report with a left shoulder injury, but he was able to put in a full practice on Wednesday and should be fine to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Denver Broncos. The Bolts must win to keep the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs, which is much more favorable, so they shouldn't be resting any players in this contest. Herbert has thrown multiple touchdowns just once in his last five games and sits as the overall QB11 in fantasy points this year, but he'll be a midrange QB1 for fantasy managers in Week 18 with many teams potentially resting their starters. In Week 6 against the Broncos, he went 37-for-57 for 238 yards, no touchdowns and a pick.

Sunday, January 01

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers running back Sony Michel was waived by the team on Friday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 27-year-old signed with LA in August after a brief stint with the Dolphins. Yet, he wasn't productive during his tenure with the bolts, compiling only 106 yards off 36 carries in 10 appearances. Michel will likely find a new club at some point before the 2023-24 campaign. However, he's not expected to draw much interest on the fantasy end unless he gets routine work. In a corresponding move, Los Angeles activated defensive end Joey Bosa (groin), who had been sidelined since Week 3 due to a groin tear.

Saturday, December 31

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice and was removed from the final Week 17 injury report. He has been cleared to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. There should be no questions about whether to start Ekeler in what is the championship in most fantasy leagues. The 27-year-old has been the No. 1 overall fantasy RB in half-point PPR leagues in 2022 and remains a must-start. He's done it by amassing 759 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 183 carries, adding a league-high 99 receptions on 120 targets for an additional 647 yards and five more touchdowns. Ekeler's 99 catches are 23 more than the No. 2 back in catches in Christian McCaffrey.
		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that the plan is to activate defensive end Joey Bosa (groin) from Injured Reserve for the Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Bosa was designated to return from Injured Reserve this week, and apparently the Bolts saw enough from the All-Pro pass-rusher in practice to feel comfortable throwing him out there this weekend for the first time since the 27-year-old tore his groin in Week 3. It's great news for the Chargers as they get ready for the postseason, but Bosa's return probably mean much for fantasy managers in IDP leagues. Bosa is a game-wrecker on D when he's fully healthy, but it's likely the Chargers will ease him back in during Weeks 17 and 18.
		Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (groin) has been officially activated from the injured reserve on Saturday. This is great news as the Chargers defense has been missing Bosa for months. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since tearing his groin in Week 3. Luckily, Bosa is healthy and ready to return to the field now. He is expected to suit up for the Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. It's likely that the Chargers ease Bosa into action considering how much time he has missed. Regardless, Bosa being on the field and getting in snaps before the postseason is great for this team.

		Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (knee) remained limited during Thursday's practice session. The superstar back suffered a minor knee injury during Monday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. That being said, the Chargers have been cautious with Ekeler over the last few days. Fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned about Ekeler missing Week 17. However, fantasy managers should check back on Friday for an update on his status.

Thursday, December 29

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Los Angeles Chargers designated defensive end Joey Bosa (groin) to return from Injured Reserve on Thursday. Bosa is now back at practice and the Chargers can now officially activate him from Injured Reserve at any time. The 27-year-old pass-rusher has been out since tearing his groin in Week 3 in September. Bosa may not return in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams or even in the regular season finale in Week 18 for that matter, but he'll no doubt be a massive boost to the Bolts' pass rush in the playoffs. LA's goal at this point will be to get Bosa up to speed for the postseason over these next couple of weeks.

Wednesday, December 28

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (knee) is on the team's Week 17 injury report and was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice. Ekeler played 60 percent of the offensive snaps in the Monday night win over the Indianapolis Colts and handled 18 carries for 67 yards and two touchdowns while catching all four of his targets for 12 yards. There's no indication that the 27-year-old's injury is that serious, so as long as he doesn't have any setbacks this week, he should be good to go for Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams. However, with the Bolts locking up a playoff spot already, there's a chance they could rest Ekeler a bit in the final two regular season game. Still, fantasy managers shouldn't be sitting the No. 1 overall RB in full PPR leagues in 2022.

		Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James was ejected from his team's Monday night game against the Indianapolis Colts. James was ejected for an illegal hit to the head/neck area of a defenseless Ashton Dulin in the second quarter on a tackle attempt in which he appeared to lead with the crown of his helmet. James also may have injured himself on the play as he was in the medical tent getting checked for a concussion when the ejection was announced. Following the tackle, Dulin immediately headed back into the locker room to get checked out. James had an interception and three total tackles before the ejection.
		Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (head) won't be suspended for the hit on Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin that led to James being ejected in the victory on Monday night, according to a source. James could be fined for his actions. It's good news for James and his fantasy managers in IDP leagues, but the 26-year-old is also in the league's concussion protocol due to a head injury that he suffered on the same play that got him ejected from the game. Before leaving on Monday, the Pro Bowler had an interception. He was returning from a two-game absence due to a quadriceps injury, and now his availability for the Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams is in question. After clinching a postseason berth on Monday, the Bolts could play it safe and hold James out this week.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (quad) has been sidelined since Week 13 but says he will return to action against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night. James, who was announced as a Pro Bowl selection earlier this week, was listed as limited in the Chargers' practice on Thursday and was upgraded to full participation on Friday. Of course, the team will make an official call on James' availability this weekend, but the 26-year-old appears on track to suit up and should make an immediate impact as a leader for Los Angeles' secondary.

		Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson was booked at the Bristol County Jail and House of Correction in Massachusetts on Monday in relation to a non-violent family issue, according to a spokesperson. The sheriff's department didn't provide additional information on the matter. The 27-year-old defensive back was put on season-ending Injured Reserve after he suffered a serious knee injury in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks. Before his injury, the 2021 All-Pro had been a bust after signing a five-year, $82.5 million contract in free agency with the Bolts in the offseason. In his five games played, Jackson had just two pass breakups. It's an understatement to say Jackson's 2022 season didn't go the way the team planned, but he'll be hoping to bounce back in 2023.

Monday, December 19

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (shoulder) had tests done on his shoulder on Monday, according to head coach Brandon Staley, but they came back negative. Ekeler was forced to the blue medical tent on the sidelines early in the Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans, but he later returned to lead the Bolts' backfield on Sunday. He didn't have a typical monster fantasy performance, but he was still solid for fantasy managers with 12 carries for 58 yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions for 12 yards on 69 percent of the offensive snaps. The 27-year-old could be rested in practice this week, but all signs point to him being active on Monday night against the Indianapolis Colts. The overall RB2 in half-point PPR scoring this year, Ekeler should remain a must-start RB1 the rest of the way.

Sunday, December 18

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (quadriceps) is officially inactive for Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans. This comes as no surprise considering he had been listed as doubtful. The 26-year-old has logged an impressive 106 tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles, and one interception through 10 games in 2022. The Chargers hope James' absence will last just two games and he can return for Monday Night Football in Week 16.
		Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (arm) returned to the Week 15 meeting against the Titans. The veteran briefly exited this one with an arm injury, allowing Joshua Kelley to enter and find the end zone off a one-yard run in the first quarter. Fortunately, Ekeler doesn't appear to have any residual effects from the ailment, although it's worth monitoring moving ahead.

Saturday, December 17

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) practiced in full all week and carries no injury designation into Sunday's Week 15 game against the Tennessee Titans. Williams is putting his ankle injury in the rearview mirror and is a must-start wideout in all fantasy formats. He'll have WR1 upside in a matchup against a banged-up Titans secondary that just got torched by second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence in Week 14. They have allowed the most half-PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers this year, so Williams and Keenan Allen should be eating this weekend. After returning from a two-game absence last week, the 28-year-old Williams caught all six of his targets for 116 yards and his fourth touchdown of the year in nine games.
		Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (quadriceps) was unable to practice all week and is listed as doubtful to suit up on Sunday to face the Tennessee Titans in Week 15 action. James is heading for his second straight missed game, and he'll hope to return in Week 16 against the Indianapolis Colts on the road on Monday Night Football. Despite missing last Sunday night's win over the Miami Dolphins, the 26-year-old safety is ranked No. 2 in total fantasy points among defensive backs in IDP formats. From a defense/special teams standpoint in fantasy, managers should be able to find better streaming options than the Chargers D this weekend. All-Pro running back Derrick Henry could have a field day against this LA run defense.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Williams returned to action in the Week 14 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night for the first time since aggravating his sprained ankle in Week 11 and caught all six of his targets for 116 yards and a touchdown. It was Williams' fourth 100-yard game of the season and his fourth time visiting the end zone in 2022. He looks to be getting healthier and should be fine to play this weekend against an extremely vulnerable Tennessee Titans secondary. As long as he doesn't suffer a setback in practice later this week, the 28-year-old should be in all fantasy starting lineups in Week 15.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (groin) has missed a majority of the season, but could be returning soon for this defense. He underwent surgery on his groin earlier this season after only playing in three games. He has been sidelined since then, but is reportedly getting back on the practice field this week. That is great news for the Chargers who have certainly missed the four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher on their defense. He obviously won't be available for Week 14, but possibly Bosa can play next week, which would give this defensive unit a huge lift.

Saturday, December 10

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (quadriceps) missed practice on Friday and is doubtful to play in Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday Night Football. James was unable to get on the practice field at all this week and is highly unlikely to be active in Week 14. It's terrible timing for the 26-year-old and the Chargers defense with the high-flying offense of the Dolphins coming to town. It's good news for must-start wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. With James headed for an absence on Sunday, defensive backs JT Woods and Alohi Gilman will be asked to play more snaps in a big game for the Bolts in primetime. James is the top fantasy safety in IDP leagues, so managers will need to go in another direction at the position this weekend.

Thursday, December 08

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) was upgraded to full during Thursday's practice. The 28-year-old has been sidelined the last two weeks after re-aggravating his ankle injury in Week 11. It appears Williams is trending in the right direction for the Week 14 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Obviously, there is certainly high risk with starting Williams in fantasy leagues. However, he does have strong WR2 value for this contest. The Chargers desperately need a win and having Williams on the field will certainly help their chances. Fantasy managers should check back again after Friday's practice to see if his status changes at all.

Wednesday, December 07

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley labeled wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) as "day-to-day" and stated that he will return to practice this week. Williams, who has been sidelined for the past two weeks after re-aggravating his ankle injury in Week 11, was listed as limited on the Chargers' estimated practice report on Wednesday as the team held a walkthrough. Fantasy managers should monitor injury reports throughout the week, but this is an encouraging sign that Williams could suit up for a potential shootout against the Miami Dolphins in Week 14.

Monday, December 05

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Sebastian Joseph-Day (knee) is still getting tests on his injured right knee on Monday, but the belief is that he avoided a major injury in the Week 13 loss to the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Joseph-Day had five tackles (one solo) in Sunday's game before he was lost due to injury in the fourth quarter in Las Vegas. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to play in Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night, but it looks like the 27-year-old will return again this year. Joseph-Day has posted 44 tackles (21 solo), seven tackles for loss, five QB hits, one safety, one sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 12 starts for the Chargers in his first year with the team.

Saturday, December 03

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the Week 13 divisional clash against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Williams will miss his second straight game after aggravating an ankle sprain. Keenan Allen is back healthy and should serve as a target hog in this offense, but both Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter should continue to play big roles in the passing game with Williams sidelined. Carter had his best game of the season in the Week 12 win over the Arizona Cardinals catching seven of his 10 targets for 73 yards (all season-highs) for his third touchdown of the year. He has scored in two of the last three weeks. Fantasy managers will be hoping Williams can return next week to face the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night.

Thursday, December 01

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) was not at practice on Wednesday. Williams didn't practice at all last week and was held out of the Week 12 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 28-year-old still has two more days to get back on the practice field, but he's not off to a good start this week. Williams is a must-start fantasy wideout when he's healthy in this strong Chargers offense, but he's trending towards being questionable for a divisional clash with the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday. If he's out or limited, the Chargers will continue to roll with Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter as their top three receivers. Allen is a must-start regardless, but Palmer and Carter would both remain attractive flex plays for fantasy managers if Williams misses another contest.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) did not suit up for practice on Thursday. The good news is, Williams was working on the side with trainers, so it appears he's making progress. Despite that, Williams is viewed on the downside of questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Keenan Allen is a must-start with Williams out, while Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter could be possible streaming options for Week 13. Fantasy managers should check back on Friday to see if Williams is able to return to practice.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the Week 12 game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Williams returned in the Week 11 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs but suffered a setback with his high-ankle sprain and will miss another game this weekend. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to make it back in Week 13 to face the Las Vegas Raiders. With Big Mike out, Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will be the Bolts' top three receivers for quarterback Justin Herbert. Williams has 38 catches on 60 targets for 510 yards and three touchdowns in eight games so far in 2022, but his ankle injury could slow him down the rest of the way.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) and tight end Gerald Everett (groin) were removed from Friday's final injury report and will play in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Allen had a successful return to action in the Week 11 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching five of his eight targets for 94 yards, although he did lose a fumble. With Mike Williams (ankle) out this weekend, Allen should see heavy volume and will be in play as a WR2 for fantasy managers. Everett will return after missing the last game and will face a Cardinals defense that was just torched by San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle. Everett will be in play as a borderline TE1/2 streamer in his return.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Allen had a successful return to action in the Week 11 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, catching five of his eight targets for 94 yards while also losing a costly fumble. It's more good news that Allen didn't suffer any setbacks with his hamstring injury, so he should be good to go for a Week 12 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. The 30-year-old should be consistently targeted by quarterback Justin Herbert the rest of the season, and he could see even more looks this weekend after Mike Williams aggravated his ankle injury. Fantasy managers should consider Allen a low-end WR2 play in Week 12 with more upside in PPR leagues.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) didn't suit up for practice on Thursday. The 28-year-old re-aggravated his ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 11. Head coach Brandon Staley mentioned that the team is taking things day-to-day with Williams. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see if Williams practices on Friday. He'd be a low-end WR2 for the upcoming matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.

Wednesday, November 23

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) was placed on the Injured Reserve list, meaning he'll miss at least the next four games. In a corresponding move, they signed Cameron Dicker to the active roster. The rookie has been elevated from the practice squad in three consecutive weeks, performing well as the starter, converting all six field goals he's attempted. As an accurate kicker on a high-powered offense, he's a strong option each week, including their upcoming matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday after re-aggravating his high ankle sprain in Week 11. Head coach Brandon Staley stated that the team would take things "day by day" with Williams as he is likely to be limited in practice all week. This gives him a chance to suit up in what would be an enticing matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Fantasy managers should monitor Williams' status throughout the week and should view him as a risky WR2 with great upside if active.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) has been placed on the injured reserve. The 32-year-old will miss the next four weeks, but he's already missed the last four weeks of action because of this injury. Hopkins hasn't played since the Week 6 matchup against the Denver Broncos. There's a possibility that Hopkins doesn't play again this season. In the meantime, Cameron Dicker will remain the starting kicker in Los Angeles and has been signed to the active roster.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) is officially questionable to return against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. He caught one pass for 15 yards before exiting. This development is concerning since Williams missed the last two games with a high-ankle sprain. Because of this, it would not be surprising to see the Chargers exercise caution and hold Williams out for the remainder of the contest. As long as Williams is sidelined, Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer, and DeAndre Carter will operate as the Chargers' lead receivers.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. He caught one pass for 15 yards before exiting. This development is concerning since Williams missed the last two games with a high-ankle sprain, so it makes sense that the Chargers are holding him out for the remainder of the contest. As long as Williams is sidelined, Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer, and DeAndre Carter will operate as Los Angeles' lead receivers.
		Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley (knee) is expected to return to practice this week, head coach Brandon Staley relayed to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Kelley has been sidelined since Week 6 and is eligible to return from IR anytime now. Through his first five games, he amassed 104 rushing yards, 56 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He won't have any fantasy appeal unless Austin Ekeler were to suffer an injury.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) re-aggravated his high-ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, head coach Brandon Staley told the media. "We are going to find out a lot more in the next couple of days about his possibilities for Wednesday's practice," Staley said. "But not a significant re-injury." As of now, Williams' status for Week 12 is up in the air. If active, he should be viewed as a low-end WR2 in fantasy football.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) is expected to be active for Sunday's divisional clash with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Jordan Schultz of The Score. The 28-year-old had been listed as questionable despite practicing in full on Friday. Williams is the Chargers' leading receiver this season, having caught 37 passes for 495 yards and three touchdowns through seven games. He ranks as a WR2 ahead of what should be a high-scoring affair versus Kansas City. On the topic of Chargers receivers, it's worth noting that Williams' teammate, Keenan Allen (hamstring), is also trending towards being active for just the third time this season.
		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (groin) has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Everett practiced in full on Friday and was initially left off the end-of-week injury report, but it appears he suffered some type of setback and is no longer a lock to play Sunday. The 28-year-old has totaled 34 catches, 364 yards, and two touchdowns in 2022. If he can't suit up, Tre' McKitty and Richard Rodgers would see more snaps on offense.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) stated he intends to play on Sunday night against the Chiefs, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The wideout has appeared in only two games this season due to a nagging hamstring ailment, which has also caused Justin Herbert to struggle. With that said, Allen's official designation may not come until after lineups lock, so fantasy managers may want to consider keeping him on the bench in Week 11 in case he suffers a setback.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) are active for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs despite being listed as questionable. Allen has played in just two games this season, catching six passes for 77 yards. He is a solid WR2 when healthy, but at the age of 30, he is no longer a guaranteed commodity in fantasy football. On the other hand, Williams has quickly asserted himself as a flashy, high-upside option. The 28-year-old has totaled 495 yards and three touchdowns this season, and while he has a relatively low floor, he should still be viewed as a high-end WR2 on a weekly basis.
		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (groin) and kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) are inactive for Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Everett was initially cleared to play this weekend, but the Chargers downgraded him to questionable on Saturday. Now, he has been ruled out. Tre' McKitty and Richard Rodgers should see more snaps in his place. Meanwhile, Hopkins' absence was widely expected after the team listed him as doubtful. Handling kicking duties for the Chargers will be Cameron Dicker, who is 5-for-5 on extra points and 7-for-7 on field goals in his rookie season.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) both practiced in full on Friday and are officially listed as questionable for a Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Allen expressed confidence in his availability for Sunday night but added that it will ultimately be up to the coaching staff, while Williams stated that he "should be out there". This is excellent news for fantasy managers of the two wideouts as well as those rostering quarterback Justin Herbert. If active, both Allen and Williams will immediately have WR2 value in a potential divisional shootout.
		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (groin) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Chiefs. With Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) sidelined, Everett benefitted by amassing 24 targets over his last four games. However, with both wideouts trending toward returning in Week 11, the 28-year-old likely won't see as much attention from quarterback Justin Herbert. With that said, Everett does have an upside, but the potential for an underwhelming performance is greater than the alternative.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DeAndre Carter (ribs) will play on Sunday night versus the Chiefs. The 29-year-old was limited during practice for a few days throughout the week before logging a full session on Friday. Carter has played well as of late and is coming off a four-catch, one-touchdown performance against the 49ers in Week 10. With that said, Mike Williams (ankle) and Keenan Allen (hamstring) are trending toward playing in Week 11, so there won't be as much room for Carter to be involved.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DeAndre Carter (rib) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) were also limited Thursday. The 29-year-old could drop to fourth on the WR depth chart if Allen and Williams can return for Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He caught all four of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in last Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Carter's role could take a hit and would be worth starting against the Chiefs in deep-league formats if Allen and Williams remain inactive.
		Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday. He has now missed back-to-back practices. The 32-year-old will have one more chance to practice to increase his chance of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. If Hopkins misses another game, Cameron Dicker will handle kicking duties for the Chargers. Dicker is 7-for-7 in field goal attempts, and 5-for-5 in extra-point tries this season. The 22-year-old can be used as a streamer against the Chiefs for Week 11 if Hopkins is ruled out.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) returned to individual drills at practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Brandon Staley. The Chargers expected both Allen and Williams to return to practice this week, but it remains to be seen if they'll be able to play on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. Both wideouts were officially limited, but they'll be extra risky starting options in fantasy if they're questionable on the final injury report for Sunday night's game. Allen has been an absolute bust for fantasy managers this year while playing in only parts of two games. If both Allen and Williams return, it will be a massive boost for quarterback Justin Herbert. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter have seen expanded roles with both Allen and Williams sidelined.
		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (groin) and wide receiver DeAndre Carter (ribs) were both limited at Wednesday's practice. It's a good sign that Everett was able to do something at practice on Wednesday, but he sounds very questionable to play on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, making him an even more risky TE1/2 for fantasy managers this weekend. If he's limited or out, Tre' McKitty is likely to operate as the Bolts' top pass-catching tight end in what could be a shootout. Carter's injury isn't the only concern for his fantasy managers, as both Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) could return in Week 11, which would push Carter down the WR pecking order. The 29-year-old is only worth a flex play in fantasy if Allen and Williams continue to sit out.
		Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) was listed as a DNP at Wednesday's practice. Hopkins was last active in Week 6 and is expected to miss at least one more game, so fantasy managers shouldn't be planning on using him on Sunday night against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. Besides, Cameron Dicker has filled in very nicely in the last two weeks for the Chargers. Dicker the kicker has nailed all five of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra points in his two games for LA, and he could be pretty busy yet again in Week 11 in what could be a high-scoring contest. The 22-year-old rookie is a perfect 7-for-7 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra points in three games in 2022 (one game with the Eagles).
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) both practiced on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Allen and Williams were limited on Wednesday and will likely be listed as limited again on Thursday. It's great news, though, as they both have a shot at playing in the Sunday night showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, fantasy managers may have some tough decisions to make this weekend if Allen and Williams are game-time decisions on Sunday night. And even if they're active, you'll run the risk of both of them having their snaps limited in their first game back. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter have been adequate as quarterback Justin Herbert's top two wideouts with Allen and Williams sidelined, but they'll be risky flex options if Allen and Williams are back against KC.

		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) should return to practice this week. Allen injured his hamstring in the season opener, returned in Week 7 to play 23 offensive snaps and hasn't played since. Meanwhile, Williams sustained a high-ankle sprain in Week 7 and hasn't played since. Getting his top two receivers back on the field would be huge for quarterback Justin Herbert and his fantasy upside, while Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would go back to complementary roles in the passing game. Allen's fantasy managers want to see it before they believe it, and Allen has previously stated he won't return until he's 100 percent healthy. Keep a close eye on both wideouts' practice statuses this week.
		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that defensive linemen Otito Ogbonnia (knee) and Christian Covington (pectoral) are both out for the season after suffering serious injuries in Sunday night's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Ogbonnia suffered a patellar tendon rupture, while Covington tore his pectoral muscle. It's terrible news for the Chargers' defensive line depth the rest of the way. With both Ogbonnia and Covington done for the year, Sebastian Joseph-Day and Jeremiah Attaochu will see increased playing time to close out the season. But this is terrible news for a Chargers run defense that has been among the league's worst in 2022.
		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that tight end Gerald Everett (groin) is day-to-day after suffering a groin injury in Sunday night's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. "I think you'll see him out there in practice some time this week," Staley said. Everett left the game in the second quarter on Sunday night and never returned, finishing with two catches for 23 yards. However, it sounds like the veteran tight end will have a chance to play on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. The 28-year-old has been a viable TE streamer in fantasy with receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) sidelined, but they both have a shot to return for the showdown against the Chiefs as well.

		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (groin) suffered a groin injury on Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers and is questionable to return. Everett left the game in the second quarter, but his fantasy managers will be hoping he can get back on the field in the second half. The 28-year-old caught both of his targets for 23 receiving yards before he was injured. The Chargers are already without receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle), so they can ill-afford anymore injuries to their offensive skill players. If Everett doesn't return on Sunday night, Tre' McKitty should be the Bolts' top pass-catching tight end. And with Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, McKitty could be an interesting waiver-wire pickup next week if Everett's injury is serious enough to cause him to miss additional time.

		Los Angeles Chargers running back Larry Rountree III has been signed to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The former sixth-round pick didn't have much success with the team last season. He rushed 36 times for 87 yards with one touchdown in 12 games with the Chargers last season. This appears to be a depth move to have another body behind Austin Ekeler. The expectation is that Rountree won't be significantly involved in the offensive gameplan. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore him until further notice.

		Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) is officially out for Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. In his absence, Cameron Dicker will kick for the team for the second straight week. Hopkins hasn't played since Week 6 and is still recovering from his hamstring injury. Dicker the kicker made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra points in the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons, including the game-winning field goal late in the contest. The rookie also made both of his field-goal tries and both of his extra points for the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5. Although the 22-year-old has been perfect on all of his kicks in his first two NFL games, fantasy managers should look for better streaming options in Week 10.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Los Angeles Chargers waived former first-round defensive tackle Jerry Tillery on Thursday. Tillery also missed the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons due to a back injury, and the Bolts have decided to move on in his fourth NFL season. In seven games this year, he has just eight tackles (five solo), one sack and a forced fumble. Tillery is coming off his best season in 2021, when he had 51 tackles (24 solo), six tackles for loss, 14 QB hits and 4.5 sacks in 16 games. The 26-year-old pass-rusher from Notre Dame will look to find his way with a new team after recording just 10.5 sacks in 54 career games (29 starts) to this point in his career.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for the Sunday night game against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10 after missing practice all week. Mike Williams (ankle) remains on Injured Reserve, so Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will continue to be attractive flex plays as the Bolts top two pass-catchers. Allen has been a monumental fantasy bust this year, playing in only two games and catching all six of his targets for 77 scoreless yards. He continues to say that he won't return to the field until he's 100 percent past his hamstring injury, so it's anyone's guess as to when that will be. The 30-year-old must remain stashed in all leagues, and we can only hope he'll contribute at some point during the 2022 fantasy season.
		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that there's a "good chance" that wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) will return to practice in some capacity next week. Williams is officially out for the Sunday night game in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers, and he's been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 7. Williams and Keenan Allen (hamstring) will both miss another game this weekend, leaving Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter in significant starting roles yet again. Williams should be stashed in all fantasy formats, as he has 37 catches on 59 targets for 495 yards and three touchdowns in his seven games played for LA so far this season. A return to practice next week won't necessarily mean he'll return in Week 11 against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) is "more like week-to-week, but he's progressing" with a high ankle sprain. He initially suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 7 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. The 28-year-old is set to miss Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. If he can practice next week, he will have a shot to return in Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Keenan Allen (hamstring) is day-to-day. The Chargers will rely on Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter as the team's top two wideouts if Allen and Williams are ruled out Sunday versus San Francisco.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) and kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. The beat goes on for Allen, who has been the most frustrating early round fantasy commodity in 2022. He's played in just two games and has caught six passes for 77 yards and no touchdowns, and it looks like he's going to miss another game this weekend against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. The 30-year-old is a target hog when healthy and must remain stashed. He says he won't return until he's 100 percent. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will continue to have expanded roles with Mike Williams (ankle) still on Injured Reserve. Hopkins has missed the last two games and is set for another absence. Cameron Dicker will kick for the Bolts in Week 10.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Brandon Staley. The team continues to label him day-to-day, but Allen has to be the most frustrating player to roster in fantasy this year. The 30-year-old injured his hamstring in the season opener and didn't return until Week 7, when he played just 32 percent of the offensive snaps and caught both of his targets for 11 yards. He says he won't return to game action until he's 100 percent healthy, so who knows when that may be. There's no guarantee that he'll play in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night, so fantasy managers shouldn't be banking on him. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would continue to see starting roles if Allen is out. Mike Williams (ankle) remains on Injured Reserve.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is "close to turning the corner" and won't be placed on injured reserve, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Allen has only played parts of two games this season, and to make matters worse, the Chargers are also without Mike Williams (ankle). Once he returns, Allen can be viewed as a fringe WR2.

		Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Week 9 game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. It will be his second straight game missed after injuring his hamstring in Week 7. With the 24-year-old out again, expect to see Rashad Fenton and Isaiah Oliver take on bigger roles in Atlanta's secondary as a result. Terrell's absence will be good news for Chargers wideouts Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter, who will operate as starters with both Mike Williams (ankle) and Keenan Allen (hamstring) out. The Falcons defense/special teams should be avoided as a starting fantasy unit in Week 9 against a Bolts offense that is still more than capable of putting up points without Williams and Allen in the lineup.
		The Los Angeles Chargers placed tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Saturday and promoted wide receiver Keelan Doss from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. Parham missed the team's Week 7 game due to a concussion and has played in just two games in 2022 due to injuries, catching three of four targets for 53 yards. He was cleared from the concussion protocol early this week, but he suffered a hamstring injury in practice that will keep him out for at least the next four games. Tre' McKitty and Richard Rodgers will battle for backup work behind starter Gerald Everett moving forward. Everett has clear TE1 upside this weekend against the Atlanta Falcons with both receivers Mike Williams (ankle) and Keenan Allen (hamstring) out.
		The Los Angeles Chargers activated kicker Cameron Dicker from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday, and he will kick for the team in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons with Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) still sidelined. Dicker was just signed to the practice squad on Thursday. The 22-year-old rookie served as the Philadelphia Eagles kicker for one game in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals, making both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra points. The Chargers offense could put up a healthy amount of points coming off their bye against Atlanta, but fantasy managers can probably find safer kicking options this week for their starting lineups.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) and kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. Parham was cleared from the concussion protocol and practiced in full on Wednesday, but he apparently picked up a new injury and is in danger of missing the Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons. He's played in only two games this year and won't be a realistic streaming option if he's active on Sunday behind Gerald Everett. Hopkins injured his hamstring in Week 6 and remains week-to-week, so he could miss another game this weekend. LA signed kicker Cameron Dicker to their practice squad on Thursday and put Taylor Bertolet on the practice squad IR, so if Hopkins can't play, Dicker would likely do the kicking for the Bolts against the Falcons.
		Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (abdomen) and wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) will both play in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Ekeler popped up on this week's injury report, but the Chargers were just being cautious with him and he shouldn't have any restrictions this weekend. He heads into Week 9 as the overall RB2 in half-point PPR leagues, so Ekeler is an absolute must-start against the Falcons on Sunday. Palmer missed Week 7 due to a concussion but had the bye to recover last week. He has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will serve as the team's No. 1 wideout with Keenan Allen (hamstring) out again and Mike Williams (ankle) on Injured Reserve.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Believe it or not, Allen actually made his hamstring worse during the bye week while training and will miss yet another game after returning in Week 7 for the first time since the season opener. It's been a trying year for Allen and his fantasy managers in 2022, and we can only hope he'll make it back in Week 10 to face the San Francisco 49ers. With Allen out again this weekend, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter should see big roles in the passing game with Mike Williams (ankle) still on Injured Reserve. Palmer and Carter will both have upside as flex options for fantasy managers.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) said his hamstring injury got worse during last week's bye while training. Allen said the next time he goes into a game it won't be on a snap count and that it will be all or nothing with his hamstring absolutely ready to go. He said he felt great going into Week 7 but wasn't 100 percent. The 30-year-old returned two weeks ago for the first time since the season opener but played only 32 percent of the offensive snaps and caught two passes for 11 yards. He missed practice on Wednesday and doesn't appear to be on the right track to play on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Joshua Palmer, who has cleared the concussion protocol, and DeAndre Carter figure to be the top two pass-catchers with Mike Williams (ankle) still on Injured Reserve.
		Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (abdominal) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. It didn't seem like Ekeler was dealing with anything heading into practice. Possibly, it's a minor issue or Ekeler suffered the injury during practice. Regardless, fantasy managers will have to keep an eye on Ekeler heading into Friday's practice. His absence would mean chaos for the Chargers backfield. They'd be forced to use a committee of Sony Michel, Isaiah Spiller and fullback Zander Horvath. For what it's worth, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport later tweeted that it sounds like the Bolts are just being cautious with Ekeler.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) remained on the sideline for Thursday's practice. At this point, it's anyone's guess when Allen is going to play. He somehow re-aggravated his hamstring injury on a bye week. The 30-year-old has played in two games this season. The fact he missed Thursday's practice likely points to Allen being a game-time decision this week. Josh Palmer and DeAndre Carter will continue to benefit with the Chargers shorthanded at wideout.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday and is listed as day-to-day, according to head coach Brandon Staley. "We are being careful with him. It hasn't responded the way we have wanted," Staley said. Allen's fantasy managers have to be rolling their eyes again, especially with the Chargers coming off their bye. The 30-year-old returned in Week 7 for the first time since the season opener and caught both of his targets for only 11 yards on 32 percent of the offensive snaps. If he's able to practice later this week and play in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons, he could be at risk of being on a snap count once again, which would obviously make him a volatile fantasy option.
		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that wide receiver Joshua Palmer and Donald Parham Jr. are out of the league's concussion protocol. Both Palmer and Parham were out in Week 7 before having last week's bye to rest up, so they should both be active in Week 9 to face the Atlanta Falcons. Mike Williams (ankle) remains on Injured Reserve and Keenan Allen (hamstring) is still being bothered by his hamstring injury, so Palmer could very well operate as the Bolts' top receiving on the road against Atlanta on Sunday morning. Getting Parham back this weekend will be big for LA as well, but he's not a realistic starting fantasy option with Gerald Everett as the No. 1 tight end.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) did not practice on Monday. Allen returned in Week 7 in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks for the first time since the season opener, but he played just 32 percent of the offensive snaps and caught both of his targets for 11 yards. The Bolts were on bye in Week 8, so fantasy managers will be hoping that the 30-year-old will be closer to full strength this weekend against the Atlanta Falcons on the road. It's not a great sign that Allen isn't practicing on Monday, but we'll get a better idea of where he's at once the team releases their first official practice report on Wednesday. With Mike Williams (ankle) sidelined, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would be LA's top wideouts if Allen is limited again in Week 9.

		Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (knee) had surgery on Wednesday to fix his torn patellar tendon. A typical recovery for this type of injury usually takes around eight nine months, so he will miss the rest of the 2022 season. Jackson, who signed a five-year, $82.5 million deal in free agency, suffered the season-ending injury in the Week 7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The 26-year-old was a disappointment in five games played when he was on the field, especially after being named to his first Pro Bowl in his final season with the New England Patriots in 2021. He was actually benched at halftime in Week 6 for his poor performance. With Jackson out the rest of the way, Michael Davis will start opposite Asante Samuel.

		Los Angeles wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) is expected to miss at least four weeks after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Week 7 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. The star receiver had his ankle rolled up after making a catch last week. Many feared his season was over, given how bad the injury looked. Thankfully, the former first-round pick only has a high-ankle sprain and will return at some point this season. Unfortunately, Williams could be placed on injured reserve if the Chargers expect him to miss at least four weeks. With the former Clemson star unable to play, Joshua Palmer, Gerald Everett, and DeAndre Carter will see an increase in targets.

		Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (knee) suffered a ruptured right patellar tendon in the Week 7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday and will miss the rest of the season. Jackson needed an air cast on his leg to stabilize it after dislocating his kneecap. It's a rough ending to the 26-year-old's first year in LA after signing a huge five-year, $82.5 million deal in free agency in March. Jackson wasn't very good in his first five games with the Chargers before the injury, and he came into the year with high expectations after making the Pro Bowl for the first time in his final season for the New England Patriots in 2021. The Chargers still have a lot of talent on the defensive side of the ball, but pass-rusher Joey Bosa (groin) remains out for the foreseeable future and Jackson is now done for the year.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was active in Week 7 for the first time since the season opener and hauled in both of his targets for 11 yards in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Allen was limited in practice all week and was considered a game-time decision, and although he got the start, the 30-year-old was held out in the second half as he was on a snap count. With the Chargers on bye next week, Allen will have two weeks to recover and hopefully will be a full-go against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10.
		Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (knee) was carted off the field late in the first half of the team's Week 7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Jackson had his leg placed in an air cast and reportedly suffered a dislocated kneecap. The All-Pro will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the damage. If Jackson misses an extended period of time, he will be replaced in the starting lineup by Michael Davis. It's been a very tough season so far for Jackson, both due to injuries and poor performance when healthy.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) said in the locker room after the team's Week 7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks that he has a "sprain" in his right ankle. He was injured on a fourth down in the fourth quarter on Sunday when his cleat got caught in the grass as he was tackled by Seahawks cornerback Michael Jackson. Williams had a walking boot on his lower right leg when he left the locker room, and he couldn't put any weight on his right leg before putting the walking boot on. He'll undergo an MRI exam on Monday but vowed: "I'm gonna be back." The 28-year-old caught seven of nine targets for 86 yards and a touchdown before leaving, and depending on his MRI results, there's a chance Williams won't have to miss any time with the bye week coming in Week 8.
		Tests on Monday revealed that Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and "will miss some time," according to a source. The Athletic's Daniel Popper reports that head coach Brandon Staley said Williams will miss "weeks not days." The good news is that the Chargers are on bye in Week 8, but there's a good chance that the 28-year-old won't be ready when the Bolts in Week 9 to face the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 6. High-ankle sprains can take anywhere from two to five weeks to recover from. Depending on the health of the rest of LA's receiving corps, Keenan Allen, DeAndre Carter and Joshua Palmer (concussion) are most likely to be the team's top three receivers for however much time Williams misses.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) could be held out of Sunday's game as a precaution, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Allen, who is listed as questionable, wants to test out his injury pregame, but the Chargers are cognizant of the fact that they are on bye next week, so resting Allen one more game would give him an additional two weeks to recover. The 30-year-old hasn't played since Week 1. Mike Williams has looked good in his absence, ranking as a solid WR2 on a weekly basis.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is trending positive for the Week 7 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. He is still considered a game-time decision, but the team appears to be optimistic about Allen. The veteran receiver has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 1. Sadly, the Chargers don't play until the second wave of games on Sunday. That means, many fantasy managers are going to be forced to make a judgment call on Allen. This sounds like it's the closest Allen has been to playing since suffering the injury. Despite that, fantasy managers won't get a final answer until Allen gets a chance to get on the field.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is officially active for Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks. He had been listed as questionable and there was some speculation that he would miss Sunday's contest. However, after testing his hamstring pregame, Allen evidently feels good enough to play. As he told Bridget Condon of NFL Network, "it's a go." The veteran immediately ranks as a solid WR2 option in fantasy football.
		Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (leg) exited Sunday's meeting with the Seahawks. He suffered a non-contact injury near the end of the second quarter and had his leg placed in an aircast before being carted off the field. He's not expected to return. If that's the case, he'll finish with two tackles. Nonetheless, this situation doesn't look promising for one of L.A.'s prized offseason signings, so fantasy managers should brace themselves for the worst.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) was injured late in Sunday's game against the Seahawks and is questionable to return. Williams had seven catches for 86 yards and a touchdown before succumbing to the injury. It's unwelcome news for the Chargers, as the team just got Keenan Allen (hamstring) back from a five-game absence. Fortunately, L.A. has Week 8 off, so the 28-year-old could be back against the Atlanta Falcons. However, DeAndre Carter may take Williams' place in the lineup if he can't make it back by then. Joshua Palmer (concussion) was also inactive for Sunday's game.

		The Los Angeles Chargers placed running back Joshua Kelley (knee) on Injured Reserve, promoting wide receiver Michael Bandy to the active roster in the process. Kelley was seemingly running away with the team's RB2 duties after an impressive showing in Week 5, but unfortunately went down early in Week 6 and will miss at least the next four games with an MCL sprain. In his absence, Austin Ekeler will remain the starter with Sony Michel handling the backup role. Rookie Isaiah Spiller could also mix in, but Ekeler should be the only Chargers back rostered in redraft fantasy leagues at the moment.

The 30-year-old has one more chance to log a full practice. The Chargers could be cautious with Allen and hold him out with the team on the bye in Week 8. He is eyeing a return this Sunday, but it remains to be seen if the veteran will be active for Sunday's contest against the Seattle Seahawks. Josh Palmer (concussion) did not practice Thursday; if Allen and Palmer are ruled out, DeAndre Carter could see an uptick in targets in Week 7.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) and tight end Donald Parham Jr. (concussion) did not practice Thursday. Palmer and Parham Jr. have now missed back-to-back practices, and their availability for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks is in doubt. They will have one more chance to practice ahead of Sunday's contest. Palmer saw a season-high 12 targets in Week 6 win over the Broncos. DeAndre Carter would see an uptick in volume if Palmer is ruled out, while Tre' McKitty could see an expanded role with Parham sidelined.
		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday with an illness. He's now on track to play in the Week 7 game against the Seattle Seahawks. And with fellow tight end Donald Parham Jr. (concussion) still in the concussion protocol without getting on the practice field yet this week, Everett could see more targets in a great matchup on paper. The Seahawks have allowed the most half-point PPR points to tight ends through six weeks. Receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) is also in danger of missing this week's game, while Keenan Allen (hamstring) is hoping to return for the first time since the season opener, so he could be limited with his snaps if he's back after a long layoff.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) has been deemed questionable to play in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks. Allen hasn't played since the season opener and will be a game-time decision on Sunday against Seattle, making him yet again an extremely shaky option for starting fantasy lineups, especially with the game coming in the late-afternoon slate. The 30-year-old had been targeting this weekend for his return, but if he doesn't feel right in pre-game warmups, he might be held out again. And with Joshua Palmer (concussion) already ruled out, it could mean a very big workload for DeAndre Carter, who would be in play as an upside flex option if Allen is sidelined yet again.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) and Donald Parham Jr. (concussion) have both been ruled out for Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks. If Keenan Allen (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, doesn't return, DeAndre Carter will be looking at the No. 2 role behind Mike Williams in a favorable matchup against Seattle's secondary. The 23-year-old Palmer will have extra time to clear the league's concussion protocol with the team's bye coming next week. With Parham also out, Gerald Everett will have clear TE1 upside, especially if Allen remains sidelined.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was officially listed as limited in practice on Wednesday. Allen put in three limited practices last week before sitting out again on Monday night in Week 6, and he hasn't played since the season opener. However, he's eyeing a return in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks, barring any setbacks later this week. But fantasy managers need to keep backup options in place, as the 30-year-old could decide to be cautious and sit out yet another week. With Joshua Palmer in the concussion protocol and tight ends Gerald Everett and Donald Parham Jr. on the injury report as well, the Chargers could be thin on pass-catchers this weekend. If both Allen and Palmer are out on Sunday, DeAndre Carter would be in line for a big role.
		Los Angeles Chargers tight ends Gerald Everett (illness) and Donald Parham Jr. (concussion) were both listed as non-participants in practice on Wednesday. It's a worthwhile development for the Bolts, as receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Joshua Palmer (concussion) could be in danger of missing the Week 7 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Everett and Parham have two more days to get back on the practice field, and fantasy managers will want to monitor their status. Everett is the team's top tight end, catching 22 of 36 targets for 242 yards and two touchdowns through the first six games. If both Everett and Parham can't play in Week 7, Tre' McKitty would be worth looking at as a TE2 streamer in fantasy.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) did not practice with the team on Wednesday ahead of a Week 7 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. Palmer has entered the league's concussion protocol and should be considered highly questionable to suit up on Sunday. Fantasy managers should monitor Los Angeles' practice reports throughout the week to see if Palmer or Keenan Allen (hamstring) will have a chance to play. If Palmer is ruled out, DeAndre Carter would likely see the biggest increase in opportunities.

		Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley injured his knee during his team's Monday night game against the Denver Broncos and is questionable to return. Kelley did not receive a touch in the contest before leaving with the injury. He could be seen on the sidelines riding the stationary bike, so it is possible that he is not dealing with anything serious. Sony Michel will handle backup duties while Austin Ekeler will continue to see the majority of the work while Kelley is out.
		Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks of action, according to head coach Brandon Staley. The 24-year-old sprained his MCL during Monday's game against the Denver Broncos. Kelley was the primary backup to Austin Ekeler in Los Angeles. Now, Sony Michel and Isaiah Spiller should have bigger roles in the offense. Possibly Michel has some deep league value, but Ekeler is expected to handle a bulk of the work in the backfield.
		Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) was clearly battling through an injury during Monday's game against the Denver Broncos. Despite that, Hopkins made all of his field goal attempts in the win. However, the Chargers expect Hopkins to miss 2-4 weeks of action due to his hamstring issue. There is a chance he lands on the injured reserve, but the team hasn't announced anything yet. Taylor Bertolet is expected to take over as the primary kicker until Hopkins returns. Fantasy managers who were rostering Hopkins will need to look for another option.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is on pace to practice this week, according to head coach Brandon Staley. The 30-year-old has played in only one game this season as he continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue. The Chargers have been playing it extremely cautious with Allen. This is obviously a frustrating situation for fantasy managers, but it sounds like Allen is finally making progress. He'd be a low-end WR2, assuming he's actually able to suit up against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7. Fantasy managers will need to continue to monitor his status throughout the week.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) will officially be inactive on Monday night against the division-rival Denver Broncos in Week 6, according to a source. Allen is hoping to return in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks. Allen came into Monday's game with a doubtful tag, so fantasy managers should have already had him on their benches. The 30-year-old has been unable to return since tweaking his hammy in Week 1. In his absence, Mike Williams, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter have operated as quarterback Justin Herbert's top three receivers. Palmer and Carter will continue to be flex options on Monday night, while Williams is a must-start.

		Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (quad) practiced in full on Saturday and does not carry an injury designation into Week 6 versus the Denver Broncos. When all is said and done, he will have missed just one game due to injury. The 32-year-old has connected on all 11 extra points while going 5-for-6 on field goals. Thanks to the Chargers' offensive prowess, Hopkins is a solid streaming option in primetime.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for the Monday night game in Week 6 against the division-rival Denver Broncos, hasn't played since the season opener. "I doubt it, but it's in the air," Allen said when asked if he would return from his hamstring injury this week. The 30-year-old pass-catcher said he aggravated his hamstring injury in practice leading up to the Week 4 game. Fantasy managers need to plant Allen on their benches again this week and hope that he can return in Week 7 to face the Seattle Seahawks. Mike Williams remains a must-start with Allen sidelined, while Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter should continue to see more targets with Allen unlikely to play again this week.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) has been listed as doubtful ahead of a Week 6 matchup with the Denver Broncos. Allen was a limited participant in practice all week. Although he has missed the past four games in full, the veteran wideout was nearing a return in Week 4 before suffering a setback with his hamstring injury. Allen himself stated that he did not expect to play on Monday night, so the team listing him as doubtful comes as no surprise. Mike Williams, Joshua Palmer, and Gerald Everett will likely continue to see an uptick in volume for at least another week.

		Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (quadricep) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He was ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns due to a quad injury. The 32-year-old is five of his six field-goal attempts and all 11 of his PATs over the season's first four games. Hopkins will have two more chances to log a full practice to be cleared ahead of Monday's contest against the Denver Broncos. If Hopkins is ruled out, Taylor Bertolet will handle kicking duties for the Chargers.
		Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (quad) was limited during Thursday's practice. It was a walkthrough practice, so this won't mean too much for his status this week. Hopkins missed last week's contest, which resulted in Taylor Bertolet replacing him in Week 5. It'll likely be the case once again, assuming Hopkins is unable to suit up this week. Luckily for him, the Chargers don't play until Monday night, so he'll get an extra day to rest and prepare for this contest.
		As of now, the Los Angeles Chargers are considering wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) questionable for the Monday night game against the division-rival Denver Broncos in Week 6. Allen has made progress, but the Chargers are being cautious with him. If he feels any apprehension, they will hold him out for a fifth straight game. The 30-year-old has been limited in practice so far this week, but he will likely be a true game-time decision on Monday night, making him very tough to rely on yet again for fantasy managers. Pick up Joshua Palmer or DeAndre Carter if you want to take it down to the wire on Monday night. Mike Williams will remain a must-start in fantasy if Allen misses yet another game.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) took part in individual drills in practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Brandon Staley. It's nice to see Allen putting in some work, but he remains day-to-day and questionable for the Monday night game against the Denver Broncos in Week 6 after not playing since tweaking his hamstring in Week 1. The 30-year-old is making progress, but he still could be unlikely to play this week, and with the game being on Monday, fantasy managers need to have other options on the ready. No. 1 wideout Mike Williams will continue to have a higher ceiling and is a must-start if Allen misses another game, while wideouts Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will continue to be boom/bust flex options in deeper leagues.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (illness) didn't take part in the team's unofficial practice on Wednesday. The Chargers didn't release a practice report on Wednesday, but the 28-year-old was reported to be dealing with an illness. With the Chargers playing on Monday night, Williams' Week 6 status shouldn't be in jeopardy just yet. However, if he's unavailable later in the week, the Chargers might have to pivot to other options. Nothing appears to be of concern yet, but this development is something to monitor throughout the week.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was limited during Thursday's practice. He was able to do individual drills on Wednesday, so it sounds like Allen is making progress. Head coach Brandon Staley is calling Allen day-to-day, but that doesn't really mean too much. Luckily for Allen, the Chargers don't play until Monday night against the Denver Broncos. He'll get an extra day to rest and prepare, assuming he isn't ruled out before then. Fantasy managers will have to stay tuned and see how Allen responds after this limited practice.

		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring), who has been out since injuring his hamstring in the season opener, remains day-to-day. Staley said Allen is dealing with a frustrating soft-tissue injury, and the team wants to make sure it heals. It's been a frustrating situation for fantasy managers, and it won't get any easier next Monday night in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos if Allen is questionable to play. Mike Williams, who has reached the 100-yard mark in three of the four games that Allen has missed, will remain a must-start in fantasy if Allen misses any more time. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will continue to see more opportunities as well. Keep track of Allen's practice status throughout the week.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) is officially active in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns after he came into this game listed as questionable. With Keenan Allen (hamstring) still out, Palmer should have a considerable role in the passing attack against Cleveland despite catching his only target for 25 yards while playing a season-low 56 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 4 win over the Houston Texans. In Week 3, Palmer had six catches on nine targets for 99 yards, and he scored the previous week with Allen sidelined. Despite his rough game last week, Palmer could be in for a bounce-back performance this week and is an acceptable flex option for fantasy managers against the Browns.
		Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (quadriceps) is officially inactive for the Week 5 contest against the Cleveland Browns after he was limited in practice all week. The Chargers elevated Taylor Bertolet from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday, and he'll serve as the team's kicker on Sunday against Cleveland. The 29-year-old Bertolet will be making his NFL debut in Week 5 for the Bolts. Although the Chargers offense can put up points with the best of them, Bertolet should be avoided by fantasy managers in his first career NFL game.

Saturday, October 08

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Los Angeles Chargers elevated kicker Taylor Bertolet to their active roster ahead of a Week 5 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. With starter Dustin Hopkins (quad) questionable, Bertolet may have an opportunity to kick in Sunday's contest. In his seven-year professional career, Bertolet has never appeared in a regular season NFL game. Fantasy managers should prepare to be without Hopkins and look to their waiver wire for other proven options.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Michael Bandy has been elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Bandy was activated in Week 4 and played on 29 percent of offensive snaps, hauling in both of his two targets and gaining 49 yards. With Keenan Allen (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's contest, Bandy could once again see some action and may even be in line for additional targets if Joshua Palmer (ankle) is inactive. Still, there are too many healthy weapons in the Chargers' passing attack for Bandy to warrant any fantasy consideration.

		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Thursday. Everett was only able to get in a limited practice session, which is concerning. It sounds like the injury could've occurred in practice, but regardless it's a problem for fantasy managers. What happens on Friday will have a big impact on whether or not Everett plays on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Otherwise, Donald Parham Jr. would be the primary tight end for the Chargers. He could have some streaming appeal if Everett is forced to sit out.
		The Los Angeles Chargers have added kicker Taylor Bertolet to their practice squad on Thursday. The team did this as insurance in case Dustin Hopkins (quad) is unable to play in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns. Bertolet has never played in an NFL game, which makes him tough to trust as a streaming option. However, he made 11-of-15 field goals for the New Orleans Breakers earlier this season. Fantasy managers will have to check back to see if Hopkins does get ruled out for Week 5.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was unable to practice all week and has now been declared out ahead of the team's Week 5 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. The five-time Pro-Bowler was seemingly nearing a return in Week 4, but suffered a setback late last week and will now miss his fourth consecutive contest. Joshua Palmer (ankle) and Gerald Everett figure to benefit the most from Allen's absence, but DeAndre Carter could see a boost in opportunities if Palmer is ruled out as well.
		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (hamstring) popped up on the injury report on Thursday after logging a limited practice session, but was able to practice in full on Friday and has been cleared to play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 5. Everett is currently the fantasy TE6 in PPR scoring and should continue to produce with Keenan Allen (hamstring) inactive once again. Cleveland has been a tough matchup for tight ends so far this season, but Everett's utilization in the Chargers' offense led by Justin Herbert makes him a quality fantasy start every week.
		Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (quad) was a limited practice participant all week and is officially questionable to suit up in a Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Hopkins has not been overly productive so far this season and fantasy players should feel comfortable dropping him assuming there is a solid, healthy kicker in free agency. If the available options are unappealing, the good news is that the Chargers kick off at 1 PM EST, so managers can wait to hear Hopkins' status on Sunday morning before deciding.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday, but has ultimately been listed as questionable ahead of a Week 5 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Palmer stepped up in Keenan Allen's (hamstring) absence in Weeks 2 and 3, but suffered an ankle injury in last week's contest and only recorded one reception. It bodes well for Palmer's availability that he was able to log a full practice, and with Allen ruled out once again, Palmer could thrive if active. He will be a risky flex play with upside assuming he is able to go on Sunday.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Keenan Allen (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, and his status is in question for Week 5. Palmer initially injured his ankle in the Week 4 win over the Houston Texans but is expected to play in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns. He will continue to see an uptick in targets if Allen is ruled out again. Palmer has caught 14 passes for 159 yards and a touchdown over four games in 2022. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation, as Palmer will only be a solid flex play if Allen remains sidelined.
		Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (quad) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. The nine-year veteran is coming off a performance where he was perfect on the day with two made field goals and four made extra-point attempts. It's unclear whether this injury will continue to be an issue, but Hopkins having a limited practice early in the week is a good sign for his availability. Keep an eye on his status ahead of the Chargers' upcoming Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was not able to suit up for Thursday's practice. The 30-year-old hasn't been able to do much since aggravating his hamstring last Thursday. That being said, fantasy managers should consider Allen doubtful for the Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Joshua Palmer and Gerald Everett are expected to pick up the slack, assuming Allen sits out another week.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) did not participate in the team's practice on Wednesday. Allen has been nursing a hamstring injury that he sustained in the season opener. He appeared to be on track to return in Week 4, but unfortunately suffered a setback late last week and was sidelined on Sunday. It's currently unclear if Allen will practice at all this week, so fantasy managers should prepare to be without him once again. If the 30-year-old veteran misses a fourth consecutive game, wide receiver Joshua Palmer and tight end Gerald Everett will continue to be viable fantasy options.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is currently considered day-to-day after missing each of the last two weeks. It sounds like Allen was progressing well, but suffered a setback late last week which caused him to sit out in Week 4. The organization continues to be cautious with Allen, so fantasy managers won't have a better idea on his status until later in the week. Fantasy managers shouldn't count on his return for the Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

		Los Angeles Chargers tackle Rashawn Slater (bicep) has a chance to return later this season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. While the initial plan was for Slater to miss the rest of the campaign, the Chargers will consider using one of their eight "return from IR" designations on him so that he can play late in the regular season and into the playoffs. In the meantime, Jamaree Salyer, a sixth-round rookie out of Georgia, will start at left tackle.
		Los Angeles Chargers pass-rusher Joey Bosa (groin) underwent surgery and is expected to miss roughly eight to 10 weeks of action. The star defender suffered a torn groin in Week 3 and was immediately placed on Injured Reserve. At this moment, it doesn't sound like Bosa is going to be back until the final month of the season. Luckily, the Chargers have Khalil Mack, who has four sacks in three games. They will lean on Mack to do a majority of the damage without Bosa available. The loss of Bosa does make this defense less appealing to fantasy managers looking for a defense to stream.
		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) continues to play through fractured rib cartilage, but he is progressing. The organization mentioned that they plan on being more aggressive with their play-calling in Week 4 against the Houston Texans. Clearly, they trust that Herbert is healthy enough that they don't need to limit their playbook. Fantasy managers should expect a strong outing from Herbert in Week 4. He'll play a winless Texans defense, so Herbert should be considered a strong QB1 for this one.
		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) is once again inactive in Week 4 against the Houston Texans after coming in with a questionable tag. Parham will have to wait until a Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns to make his season debut. The good news is the 25-year-old put in a full practice on Friday, so it would seem he has a good chance to be active next week, barring a setback. Veteran Gerald Everett will continue to serve as the Bolts' top pass-catching tight end this Sunday. The 28-year-old has been a decent streamer at the tight end position through three weeks with 11 catches on 20 targets for 150 yards and a touchdown.

The earliest Bosa can return is in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons but will likely need some additional time.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was limited for the second straight day in practice this week on Thursday. However, Allen reportedly left practice early with a trainer near the end of the period of practice open to the media. The 30-year-old hasn't played since tweaking his hamstring in the season opener, and he'll likely be listed as questionable for the Week 4 contest against the Houston Texans. The good news is Allen has done more so far in practice this week, and the Bolts' game is on the early slate this Sunday, so fantasy managers will know right away if he's active. If Allen returns against Houston, he should once again be one of quarterback Justin Herbert's go-to options in the passing game.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for the Week 4 contest against the Houston Texans. Allen was off to a good start earlier in the week when he put in back-to-back limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday, but a DNP at Friday's practice sealed his fate. His fantasy managers can only hope he'll return in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns. Mike Williams, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will continue to serve as quarterback Justin Herbert's top three pass-catchers in a good matchup against the Texans this weekend. Williams is a must-start despite catching only one pass in Week 3, while Palmer will once again be an intriguing upside flex option after going for six catches on nine targets for 99 yards last week.
		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) was taken off the final injury report for Week 4 against the Houston Texans and will play on Sunday. Herbert was limited in Wednesday's practice before being a full-go each of the last two days. The third-year signal-caller was a game-time decision in last week's blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars due to fractured rib cartilage, but he appears to be recovering nicely and will not be leaving his fantasy managers with any doubt this weekend. He'll be without go-to receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) again, though, but in a matchup with the winless Texans, Herbert is an absolute must-start QB1 that is looking for a bounce-back performance.
		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) is officially questionable to play in Week 4 against the Houston Texans. Parham was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was upgraded to a full practice on Friday, giving him a pretty good chance to make his 2022 season debut this Sunday. The 25-year-old probably isn't worth stashing in standard-sized fantasy leagues, but he should have a role alongside veteran Gerald Everett once he's back to full health. In his second season with the Bolts in 2021, Parham finished with 20 catches on 27 targets for 190 yards and three touchdowns in his 14 games (nine starts).

		The Los Angeles Chargers placed star defensive end Joey Bosa (groin) on Injured Reserve Wednesday. He will undergo surgery to address a torn groin and is expected to return at some point this season. The 27-year-old will miss at least four games with the potential for more. He has seven tackles, 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble over three games in 2022. It's another significant blow to the Chargers defense, which is already without star cornerback J.C. Jackson. Chris Rumph will start at left outside linebacker while Bosa is sidelined.
		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) and wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) were limited participants in Wednesday's practice. Herbert didn't suffer any setbacks in the Week 3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars as he continued to play through fractured rib cartilage. The 24-year-old will most likely be limited all week, but barring any new issues will suit up in Week 4 against the Houston Texans. Allen hasn't played since Week 1 after suffering a hamstring injury. The 30-year-old will have two more chances of logging a full practice to increase his chances of playing on Sunday. Josh Palmer will continue to start opposite Mike Williams while Allen is sidelined.
		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) took part in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Herbert was a game-time decision in the Week 3 blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he suited up and threw for under 300 yards with a touchdown and an interception. It looks as though he's improving and shouldn't be a question mark entering the Week 4 contest against the Houston Texans, and he could have receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) back for the first time since the season opener. The Texans defense has been pretty solid against opposing QBs so far this year, but Herbert will be a must-start QB1 for fantasy managers as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks.

		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 25 of his 45 pass attempts for 297 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a Week 3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also added seven yards rushing on one carry and lost a fumble. Herbert's availability for the game was one of the day's biggest storylines as he is still recovering from a rib injury he sustained in Week 2. He decided to give it a go but was outperformed by second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Still, Herbert managed some impressive completions, as he always does. Head coach Brandon Staley acknowledged after the game that Herbert's injury could linger for a while, but as long as he is on the field, he should continue to be started as a QB1 in fantasy lineups.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jalen Guyton (knee) posted two receptions for 64 yards on three targets before exiting on the final drive of the team's Week 3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Guyton's 54-yard reception in the third quarter came on a beautiful pass from Justin Herbert and was one of the best Chargers highlights from the game. Early reports indicate that his injury could be serious with the potential to keep him sidelined for multiple weeks. Although Guyton has not been a fantasy contributor this season, his absence could result in additional snaps for DeAndre Carter.
		Los Angeles Chargers offensive tackle Rashawn Slater (biceps) sustained a bicep injury and exited in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was replaced by six-year veteran Storm Norton. Unfortunately, the injury could be significant as the 2021 first-round NFL Draft selection was spotted after the game with his arm in a sling. More information on Slater's injury should be revealed early this week, but the Chargers will surely miss the Pro Bowler for as long as he is sidelined.
		Los Angeles Chargers Pro Bowl left tackle Rashawn Slater (biceps) suffered a ruptured left biceps tendon in the Week 3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and is expected to miss the rest of the season, according to a source. It's a brutal loss for the offensive line and the Chargers offense as a whole, especially with quarterback Justin Herbert playing through a painful ribs injury that he suffered in the Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Slater was the team's first-round pick in 2021 and made the Pro Bowl in his first NFL season. The Chargers may be forced to turn to Storm Norton to protect Herbert's blind side moving forward, which could cause plenty of protection issues, starting in Week 4 against the Houston Texans.
		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) should return to practice this week. Allen was injured in the season opener and has missed the last two games, but it sounds like he'll have a good shot at returning in Week 4 to face the Houston Texans. When the 30-year-old veteran does return, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will have a tougher time finding consistent targets from quarterback Justin Herbert. The Bolts entire offense struggled in the blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3, and they only scored one offensive touchdown. Mike Williams, who stepped up in Week 2, caught just one of six targets, although it went for a 15-yard touchdown.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jalen Guyton (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and will miss the rest of the season, according to a source. Before the devastating knee injury, Guyton caught two of his three targets for 64 yards on Sunday. He'll finish his fourth NFL season with only two receptions on four targets for 64 yards in three games for LA. The loss of the 25-year-old deep threat is a blow to the Chargers' receiving depth behind Mike Williams, Keenan Allen (hamstring), Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter.
		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that All-Pro defensive end Joey Bosa (groin) is dealing with a significant groin injury. He's not day-to-day but week-to-week after getting hurt in the Week 3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Sunday's loss was a costly one for the Bolts in more ways than one, as they also lost Pro Bowl left tackle Rashawn Slater (biceps) and wide receiver Jalen Guyton (knee) for the rest of the season. At the very least, fantasy managers in IDP formats shouldn't be expecting to have Bosa available in Week 4 against the Houston Texans, and he may not be ready to return in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns, either. LA's defense will be stream-worthy against the winless Texans this weekend, but losing their best pass-rusher usually isn't a good thing.

		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful ahead of Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. The 25-year-old has flashed potential in the past but will still be the No. 2 tight end behind Gerald Everett when he returns to the field. With Parham likely sidelined, the Chargers promoted Richard Rodgers to the active roster. He and rookie Tre' McKitty should occupy depth roles behind Everett this week.
		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (rib) is considering taking a pain-killing injection ahead of Week 3. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the signal-caller will make his decision in pre-game warmups. Just two years ago, then-Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor suffered a serious injury when a team doctor punctured his lung while injecting a pain-killer to address a similar rib injury. Evidently, there is risk associated with the injection, which is likely why Herbert is taking his decision up until gametime. If active, Herbert should be viewed as a mid-to-high QB1 in fantasy football.
		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) is pushing to play in Week 3 despite fracturing cartilage in his ribs last week. The medical staff has encouraged Herbert to take a long look before deciding on what to do. Herbert is debating on getting a pain-killing injection, which would likely allow him to suit up for Week 3. However, the organization doesn't want Herbert to suffer a longer injury by playing through the issue. It sounds like Herbert is leaning towards playing, but fantasy managers should check back before kickoff. The Chargers offense would take a significant hit, assuming Herbert is unable to suit up.
		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) is inactive for Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Herbert had an opportunity to take painkillers and play through the injury, but it looks like he and the team will exercise caution by listing him as inactive this week. He was on the bench and did not participate in warmups. With Herbert sidelined, the Chargers will deploy Chase Daniel as their starter. Los Angeles' offensive weapons might see their fantasy value drop due to the downgrade at quarterback.
		Correcting a previous report, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) is listed as active for Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had been listed as questionable. There had been some pregame speculation that the Chargers might be cautious and rest Herbert one more week, but it looks like he will try to play through the pain. The Chargers have three quarterbacks active this week (Herbert, Chase Daniel, and Easton Stick) in case Herbert can't play the whole game. He should still be viewed as a mid-range QB1 this week.
		Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) is inactive for Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had been listed as doubtful heading into the weekend. Jackson has played in just one game this week, amassing six tackles last Thursday. Michael Davis is expected to draw the start in his absence.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) and tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) are both inactive for Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Allen, listed as questionable, hasn't played since Week 1 when he caught four passes for 66 yards before exiting earlier. Meanwhile, Parham hasn't played at all this season. In his absence, the Chargers promoted Richard Rodgers to the active roster. He and rookie Tre' McKitty should occupy depth roles behind Gerald Everett this week.
		Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (groin) exited Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville. He is questionable to return. The 27-year-old was injured early in the contest, forcing him to limp off the field and into the locker room. Bosa is having a terrific 2022-23 campaign so far, so the Chargers and IDP fantasy managers alike are hoping this isn't anything serious.
		Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (groin) won't return to the Week 3 meeting against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 27-year-old had only one tackle before going down with the injury. He had been declared questionable to make it back. However, IDP fantasy managers will now eagerly await an update regarding Bosa's availability for Week 4 against the Houston Texans.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) logged another limited practice session on Thursday. Allen continues to work his way back from a hamstring injury sustained during the season-opener against the Raiders. Fortunately, the wideout appears to be moving in the right direction, although he's far from getting the green light for the Week 3 meeting with Jacksonville. With that in mind, if Allen can play, he should be in every fantasy lineup imaginable. However, if he isn't in uniform on Sunday, Mike Williams, who had eight catches for 113 yards and a touchdown in Week 2, could be in store for another productive outing. Gerald Everett could also get more involved, with the veteran accumulating nine catches for 125 yards and a touchdown this season.
		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) practiced on Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity. Parham hasn't played yet this year, with head coach Brandon Staley recently slapping a "day-to-day" designation on him. Although that's encouraging to some degree, he's still not a lock to be ready for Jacksonville. With that said, if the 25-year-old gets on the field for Week 3, he may not log a full workload, although his opportunities to get involved may increase if Keenan Allen (hamstring) doesn't play.
		Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) hasn't practiced all week. Head coach Brandon Staley reported that the 26-year-old is dealing with "residual soreness" from ankle surgery in August. The injury forced him to miss the season-opener against Vegas. However, he managed to suit up against the Chiefs in Week 2, totaling six tackles. Nonetheless, while his absences from practices are concerning, his availability for Friday's session will paint a better picture regarding his chances of being out there versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3.
		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Backup Chase Daniel took first-team repetitions on Friday. Herbert was throwing on Tuesday, did individual drills on Wednesday and was spotted throwing on Thursday, which is great news. But the biggest question will be how functional the third-year QB will be if he's given the green light to play on Sunday. It's not a long-term injury, but it's a painful one. The plan is for the 24-year-old to work out before Sunday's game to determine if he'll be able to go, which puts fantasy managers in a bind with LA's game coming on the later slate of games this Sunday.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is listed as questionable to play in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out on Friday. Head coach Brandon Staley said that Allen is 50-50 to play on Sunday, and on top of it, the Chargers don't play one of the early games this weekend. If you decide to roll the dice with Allen in your starting lineup, you need to have an emergency backup plan in place. Quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) is also questionable, so the fantasy value of all Chargers offensive skill players could drop significantly if Herbert doesn't play. If Allen misses his second straight game, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would once again see more targets in the passing game.
		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Parham has yet to play in 2022 due to his hamstring injury, but it remains to be seen if he'll be out there this Sunday. The 25-year-old will take valuable targets away from veteran Gerald Everett once he's ready to play, but it's hard to imagine that he'll have any standalone fantasy value unless Everett misses time with an injury of his own. Everett has been a solid streamer at the position through two weeks, catching nine of his 14 targets for 125 yards and one touchdown.
		Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) and center Corey Linsley (knee) are both listed as doubtful to play in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after they both missed practice all week. Jackson made his 2022 debut in the Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but he appears to be having problems with his surgically repaired ankle. Michael Davis is now expected to start opposite Asante Samuel against Jacksonville. Linsley injured his knee in last Thursday's loss to KC and is now set to miss Week 3 action. It's a notable downgrade for the Chargers offensive line, especially if quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) is unable to play. Will Clapp will likely start at center on Sunday.

		Los Angeles Chargers center Corey Linsley (knee) missed practice on Wednesday. The veteran reportedly suffered the injury during their Week 2 loss to the Chiefs. The 31-year-old has been their starting center since they acquired him last offseason. He played in 16 games last season and both games this year, grading as the 11th-best center in 2022. His absence would be a significant blow for the team and quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs), who has developed familiarity with him.
		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) was able to practice once again on Thursday. It was likely a limited session, but at least Herbert was able to get in some throwing. The organization is optimistic that Herbert will play against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. He's a strong QB1, assuming he's able to suit up. Otherwise, the Chargers offense is going to take a significant hit if Herbert is unable to play.

		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) is "day-to-day," according to head coach Brandon Staley. Herbert did some throwing on Tuesday and also some "rotational" work. He'll take part in individual drills on Wednesday, according to Staley. According to ESPN's Lindsey Thiry, Herbert will be wearing a rib protector after injuring rib cartilage in the Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The fact that the 24-year-old is already limited in practice this week is a good sign that he'll be able to play in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Through two games, Herbert has thrown for 613 yards, six touchdowns and a pick on 82 attempts. If he's active this Sunday, he's a must-start, high-end QB1.
		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) and tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) will do individual work at practice on Wednesday. Allen missed the Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, while Parham has yet to play this year. Both players are still very questionable for Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the fact that they are even doing anything on Wednesday is a good sign. Mike Williams stepped up with eight catches (10 targets) for 113 yards and a touchdown last week with Allen sidelined, and he'd likely be quarterback Justin Herbert's go-to target again if Allen misses another contest. Check back later this week for an update on Allen's status heading into Sunday's game.

		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) has a chance of suiting up for Week 3, according to Ian Rapoport. The 24-year-old suffered fractured rib cartilage, but the team views it as more of a pain tolerance issue. The organization got good results back on their tests, so they believe Herbert can play through the issue. Herbert looked to be in obvious pain towards the end of their matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. It remains to be seen if he can really play through this issue. Luckily for fantasy managers, the Chargers play the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. Herbert might be able to put together QB1 numbers with injured ribs against that secondary. However, fantasy managers should have a backup plan ready in case Herbert does struggle because of the ribs issue.

		Los Angeles Chargers offensive lineman Corey Linsley (knee) is questionable to return in Thursday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He suffered a knee injury during the second quarter and did not come out with the team during the second half. The 31-year-old logged the major of snaps before injuring his knee. Linsley controls many of their protection adjustments, and his absence from the offensive line only hurts quarterback Justin Herbert and the Chargers' offense.
		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was excellent for fantasy yet again in Thursday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, completing 33 of 48 pass attempts for 334 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. The interception was a costly one as it was thrown at the Chiefs' three yard line and returned for a touchdown that gave Kansas City the lead in the fourth quarter. Herbert also took a few hits late in the game, suffering an apparent rib injury that even forced him to miss a play. Luckily, Herbert came back in and, despite being visibly in pain, led the Chargers on an impressive drive that resulted in a touchdown pass to Joshua Palmer. Herbert is expected to have x-rays completed immediately and fantasy managers should closely monitor his status for Week 3. Obviously, if healthy, he will continue to be a must-start fantasy option every week.
		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley told reporters that Justin Herbert (abdomen) is "OK" after the quarterback sustained an injury late in Thursday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Herbert took a couple of big but clean hits in the fourth quarter and was clearly in pain for the team's final two drives before heading to the X-ray room immediately after the game. Staley also added that more information on Herbert's status would be available on Friday, but that he doesn't expect the injury to be of much concern going forward. Luckily, Herbert will have a long week to recover before a Week 3 matchup next Sunday with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) will undergo more tests on his injured ribs Friday. According to head coach Brandon Staley, the star quarterback is "OK" after the quarterback sustained an injury late in Thursday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The severity of Herbert's injury will be known after he undergoes further evaluation. The 24-year-old completed 33-of-48 passes for 334 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in the Week 2 loss to the Chiefs. Herbert will have a few extra days to recover, but his status for Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars is up in the air for now. Stay tuned.
		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (rib) avoided any broken bones following Thursday night's game. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Herbert's X-rays came back negative. As a result, the third-string quarterback will undergo further testing. The injury clearly bothered Herbert in Week 2, but he only missed one offensive snap. Los Angeles doesn't play again until next Sunday, giving Herbert 10 days to recover. Still, fantasy managers should monitor his status going forward in case he does have to miss time. Chase Daniel is the Chargers' current backup quarterback.
		Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (rib) is dealing with a fracture to his rib cartilage, according to head coach Brandon Staley, and he's being listed as day-to-day. Herbert gutted through a painful rib injury in Thursday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and finished with 334 yards on 33-for-48 passing with three touchdowns and a costly pick-six. Staley didn't expect Herbert's injury to be a factor moving forward, but that remains to be seen, as Herbert was clearly battling a ton of pain at the end of the 27-24 loss. The good news is the Bolts don't play again until Sept. 25 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but fantasy managers will have to monitor Herbert's status leading up to that Week 3 game.

		Los Angeles Chargers defensive back J.C. Jackson (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Thursday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 26-year-old is officially questionable after being limited in practice this week. He missed the regular season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders as he continues to work his way back from mid-August ankle surgery. Jackson would provide the Chargers secondary a massive boost if active as the defense will look to contain quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense in Week 2.
		Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) will play on Thursday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a source. Jackson came into the game with a questionable tag after missing the season-opening win over the Las Vegas Raiders, but he was moving around really well during workouts this week. Against quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who threw five touchdown passes in Week 1, the return of Jackson is a big boost for the Chargers secondary. Despite the good news for the Bolts D, Jackson should be avoided in IDP fantasy leagues, while the Chargers defense/special teams unit is still one to fade in standard leagues despite their solid performance against the Raiders.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) did not practice on Tuesday. Allen left his team's Week 1 game against the Las Vegas Raiders in the first half with the injury and did not return to action. Although an MRI did not show major issues with the hamstring, his missed practice on Tuesday is not a good sign for his availability for Thursday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Fantasy managers rostering Allen should be planning to be without their star receiver in Week 2, although he hasn't been ruled out officially. Look for Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter to see increased targets if Allen is out.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is officially out for Thursday night's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran suffered the injury last week in the Chargers' 24-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. While he held out hope of playing against the Chiefs, the Chargers are being cautious and sitting their top receiver. With a short week, Allen had almost no chance of playing. However, he could be ready to go in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Allen out of the lineup, Mike Williams, Joshua Palmer, and DeAndre Carter all will see an uptick in snaps and targets tomorrow night.

		The Los Angeles Chargers are preparing as if five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) won't play on Thursday night football in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a source. "Given that it's a hamstring and such a short turnaround, it would be unlikely," the source said. The source added that it's also "plausible he could be a go." Fantasy managers should have already been planning for Allen to miss Thursday's game after being ruled out in the first half of the Week 1 win over the Raiders. This early in the year, it makes no sense for the Bolts to rush one of their best playmakers back too soon. He was listed as a DNP on Monday's practice estimation. With Allen likely out in Week 2, DeAndre Carter and Joshua Palmer will become much more attractive as deep-league flexes behind Mike Williams in what could easily develop into a shootout between two high-powered offenses.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Week 2 on Thursday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, but there is optimism after his MRI exam that his injury isn't a long-term issue, according to sources. With the Chargers' next game after this Thursday not until Sept. 25 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Allen will have two full weeks to rest after getting injured in the Week 1 win over the Raiders. Fantasy managers should put the 30-year-old on their benches for Week 2 action, but it's great news that he could be back as soon as Week 3. With Allen likely out this Thursday in what should be a high-scoring game, DeAndre Carter and Joshua Palmer will be much more attractive as deep-league flex plays behind Mike Williams. Tight end Gerald Everett will have a higher ceiling as a streamer as well.
		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for their Week 2 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Head coach Brandon Staley confirmed that Parham is not ready to play yet. Honestly, it seemed like a longshot that Parham would be ready on a short week. Gerald Everett should have some streaming appeal after his three-catch performance in Week 1.
		Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) was upgraded to limited in Tuesday's practice estimation, which is a step forward after he was inactive in the Week 1 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. "He's headed in the right direction, but...still a lot to be decided before game time on Thursday night," head coach Brandon Staley said. The 26-year-old will test his injury in Wednesday's practice, but there's a good chance that Jackson will still be listed as questionable for the Week 2 showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night. The Bolts secondary could surely use Jackson's talents against quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who threw five touchdowns in the Week 1 drubbing of the Arizona Cardinals.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen suffered a hamstring injury that forced him to exit the team's Week 1 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in the first half. Allen claimed after the game that his injury is not serious but head coach Brandon Staley said the severity is not yet known. Until more information is revealed, consider Allen's status for Week 2 highly questionable as the Chargers will play the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night after a short week.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) will have an MRI exam on his hamstring on Monday after being ruled out of the Week 1 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in the first half, according to a source. With the Chargers playing on Thursday night in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs, it makes sense for Allen to rest up. However, Monday's tests will reveal the full extent of the injury and whether he'll actually have a chance to play on a short turnaround. Fantasy managers should already be planning for Allen to be unavailable in Week 2, but hopefully he'll be able to play as early as Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If Allen is inactive in Week 2, both Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter, who caught three passes for 64 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Raiders, will be more attractive as deep-league flex plays in what could easily become a high-scoring game against KC.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring), tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) and cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) were all listed as DNPs for Monday's estimated practice report. Allen injured his hamstring in the Week 1 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday in the first half, but there remains a small chance that he could play on a quick turnaround this Thursday against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2. We should know more on his status on Tuesday, but fantasy managers should already be making plans to be without him. Wideouts DeAndre Carter and Joshua Palmer will become more attractive flex plays against KC if Allen is inactive. Parham was inactive on Sunday and looks to be headed for another game on the sidelines this Thursday.

		Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson, listed as questionable following ankle surgery, is not expected to play against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Schefter also notes that the Chargers have a short week on deck, so Jackson could miss Thursday Night Football versus the Kansas City Chiefs, too. Michael Davis and Bryce Callahan will see an uptick in snaps with Jackson sidelined.
		Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He had been listed as doubtful, though there was some optimism that he might be able to play. Instead, the Chargers will hold him out at least one more week (and perhaps two if he can't handle the quick turnaround between now and Thursday Night Football).
		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) and running back Isaiah Spiller (coach's decision) are both inactive for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Parham's absence means that Tre' McKitty will be the lone backup behind Gerald Everett. Meanwhile, in the backfield, Joshua Kelley and Sony Michel will fill depth roles behind Austin Ekeler.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's showdown against the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran was having a fantastic outing before the injury, catching all four of his targets for 66 yards. Nonetheless, if Allen can't make it back in Week 1, Mike Williams, Austin Ekeler, and DeAndre Carter, who had three catches for 64 yards and a touchdown in the first half, should get more attention from Justin Herbert.
		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Allen was on a roll before going down with a hamstring ailment in the first half, accumulating four receptions for 66 yards. Although he will undergo further testing, he may not have time to get healthy enough to play on Thursday night versus the Kansas City Chiefs. If that's the case, Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler should see extra targets from Justin Herbert. However, DeAndre Carter and Gerald Everett, who each had a touchdown in Week 1, could also benefit.

		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) is officially listed as doubtful for Week 1 on the team's final injury report. This designation is unsurprising as Parham has been unable to practice this week ahead of the Chargers' divisional matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. With Parham unlikely to play, Gerald Everett will operate as the clear TE1 and Tre' McKitty could see some work. Everett will be a solid streaming option this week and Parham can remain on the waiver wire in redraft fantasy leagues.

		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) remained sidelined in Thursday's practice. He is missed back-to-back practices this week and his status for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders is in doubt. Friday's injury report should indicate whether Parham suits up for the regular season opener. The 25-year-old has 30 receptions for 349 yards and six touchdowns on 47 targets in his first two years in the NFL with LA. If active, Parham is second on the tight end behind Gerald Everett and is not a dart throw at best in deep-league formats for Week 1.

		Los Angeles Chargers running back Isaiah Spiller (ankle) practiced in full on Wednesday. He had been dealing with an ankle injury but appeared fully recovered from the issue after practicing in full. The 21-year-old is third on the RB depth chart behind Austin Ekeler, Joshua Kelley, and Sony Michel. He will be available for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Chargers drafted Spiller in the fourth round, searching for running back depth behind Ekeler. With Ekeler being the undisputed starter in Los Angeles, Spiller has no fantasy value in Week 1 and is mainly a dynasty/roster stash heading into 2022.

		Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) is not expected to play in the Week 1 regular season opener on Sunday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Jackson wasn't on the practice field on Monday. The 26-year-old had surgery on his ankle in the middle of August, and he's not quite ready for the start of the season in his first year in LA. It's good news for Raiders No. 1 receiver Davante Adams in his first game with the team, as he likely would have drawn Jackson in coverage. With the Bolts playing the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2 next Thursday, it might be tough for Jackson to return by then. The Chargers defense/special teams has plenty of upside in 2022, but they may not be the greatest play early in the season against two tough opponents.

		The Chargers recently waived running back Larry Rountree III. However, the team is bringing him back on a practice squad deal. The 23-year-old was taken in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Yet, he finished his rookie campaign with only 87 yards and a touchdown off 36 touches. There is a chance Rountree will get another shot with the big club this season. Still, even if he does, he'll likely remain buried on the depth chart and provide little to no fantasy value.

Wednesday, August 31

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Los Angeles Chargers running back Isaiah Spiller (ankle) returned to practice on Tuesday. The 21-year-old exited their final preseason game and was sidelined from team activities. The fourth-round pick struggled to win the backup job while competing against Joshua Kelley during training camp, prompting the Chargers to name Kelley the No. 2 option. Spiller was a highly touted prospect entering the pre-draft process but performed poorly at the combine, resulting in several other backs coming off the board before him. The Texas A&M product will need to return to full health and demonstrate his value to the coaching staff to earn a role in this offense. Spiller remains more of a player to monitor in redraft leagues, but he possesses long-term upside for those in dynasty/keeper leagues.
		The Los Angeles Chargers signed free-agent running back Sony Michel to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to sources. Michel was cut loose by the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday, but he'll quickly find a new home in a loaded Chargers offense. Joshua Kelley figures to open the 2022 regular season as Austin Ekeler's primary backup, but Michel could compete for backup duties with Kelley once he gets a grasp on his new team's offense. The addition of Michel is certainly bad news for Kelly and rookie Isaiah Spiller, who now figures to be fourth on the RB depth chart. The 27-year-old Michel is worth a waiver addition in deeper leagues, especially if you have Ekeler rostered. The former first-rounder had 208 carries for 845 yards and four touchdowns in 17 regular season games for the Los Angeles Rams in 2021, adding 21 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown receiving.
		The Los Angeles Chargers plan to waive running back Larry Rountree III after they signed Sony Michel on Wednesday, according to a source. Rountree was a former sixth-round pick last year, and he saw only 36 carries for 87 yards and one touchdown in 12 games in his rookie season in 2021. He was entering the 2022 season buried on the Bolts running back depth chart behind Austin Ekeler, Joshua Kelley and rookie Isaiah Spiller. Rountree will now be looking for a chance elsewhere to provide running back depth heading into his second NFL campaign.
		Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) did some individual drills at practice on Wednesday. Parham had been sidelined since the first week of August, but he's slowly getting back into action and has plenty of time to get ready for Week 1 of the regular season opener against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. The 25-year-old has 30 receptions for 349 yards and six touchdowns on 47 targets in his first two years in the NFL with LA. There's some appeal in dynasty/keeper formats with quarterback Justin Herbert under center in the long term, but Parham isn't a fantasy asset in single-year leagues as long as Gerald Everett is healthy.

		Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) cleared the league's concussion protocol and was doing individual drills in training camp practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Brandon Staley. Palmer has been a standout in camp this summer and caught three passes for 75 yards and a touchdown in the second preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. The 22-year-old is solidifying the No. 3 receiver job behind Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and should be able to improve on his 33-353-4 line in 17 games (five starts) as a rookie in 2021. Palmer is absolutely worth a late-round draft pick in deeper fantasy leagues in LA's improving offense under young quarterback Justin Herbert.

		Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Isaiah Spiller (ankle) will miss the final preseason game this week against the New Orleans Saints on Friday, and there is "a chance" that he'll also miss the Week 1 regular season opener against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, according to head coach Brandon Staley. The 21-year-old has been a popular target in dynasty/keeper leagues, but he can probably be left to the waiver wire in most redraft leagues to start the year, as he could wind up fourth on the RB depth chart behind Austin Ekeler, Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree III. However, the fourth-rounder has plenty of long-term upside and could easily become Ekeler's primary backup in 2022 before all is said and done.
		Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Kenneth Murray (ankle) returned to practice at training camp on Monday. Murray had offseason ankle surgery in April, but he's back at practice this summer and should be ready for Week 1 of the regular season against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, barring any setbacks. The 23-year-old played in just 11 games last year due to his injury, but he had 107 tackles (68 solo), one sack, five tackles for loss and three passes defensed in 16 starts in his rookie campaign in 2020. With better health this season, Murray should be on the radar in IDP fantasy formats for a strong Chargers defense/special teams unit.
		Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) underwent ankle surgery on Tuesday and will be out for two to four weeks, according to the team. Jackson underwent a minor scope, but there's still a good chance he won't be ready for Week 1 of the regular season opener, and Week 2 could be out of the question as well with the Bolts playing on Thursday night that week. Combined with safety Derwin James, the 26-year-old will be part of one of the strongest overall defenses in the NFL in his first year in LA. In his final year in New England, Jackson finished with a career-high 58 tackles (44 solo), eight interceptions (one for a touchdown), a league-high 23 passes defensed and one forced fumble in his first Pro Bowl season.

		Los Angeles Chargers running back Isaiah Spiller (ankle) left Saturday's preseason contest against the Cowboys during the second half and did not return. While there is not a timeline for his return, head coach Brandon Staley reported it "should not be anything serious." The 21-year-old finished with three carries for three yards. He was already struggling to climb the depth chart, so this will likely put him further behind teammates Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree III as the regular season approaches. It remains to be seen which of these three backs will be the backup for Austin Ekeler, but Spiller seemingly isn't a lock for the job. He'll need to return from his injury and begin to climb the depth chart before he is worth considering for any fantasy format outside of dynasty leagues.

		The Los Angeles Chargers are signing safety Derwin James to a four-year contract extension that averages $19.1 million per year on Wednesday, making him the highest-paid safety in NFL history, according to sources. The deal includes a record-breaking $42 million guaranteed. James will make $29 million in the first year of the deal. The 26-year-old former first-round pick had been holding out of training camp due to his contract situation, but the Bolts will be able to get the two-time Pro Bowler back on the field now. In his two full seasons in the NFL, James has 100-plus tackles. In 15 games in 2021, he had 118 tackles (75 solo), seven tackles for loss, seven QB hits, two sacks, two interceptions, five passes defensed and three forced fumbles to finish as the No. 4 fantasy defensive back in IDP leagues.
		Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) is week-to-week. "He's week-to-week on that. Just still being patient. But, hopefully, next week, we can kind of start phasing him into the work. He's progressing, but I would say more week-to-week than day-to-day," Staley said. Parham should be ready for the start of the regular season, unless he suffers a setback when he returns to the practice field at training camp next week. The 25-year-old has 30 receptions (47 targets) for 349 yards and six touchdowns in 27 games in his first two NFL seasons, but he could have a bigger role in 2022 alongside Gerald Everett. Unless Everett suffers an injury and misses time, though, Parham will be left to the waiver wire to begin the year in standard-sized fantasy leagues.
