Gus Edwards An Uninspiring Choice In Week 15

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards is an uninspiring fantasy option in a Week 15 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Cameron Dicker Looks For Another Good Game In Week 14

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker will look for another strong performance on Sunday Night Football in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Kimani Vidal Should Be Back On The Field In Week 13

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Kimani Vidal should be back on the field in a Week 13 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Vidal has been inactive since Week 9, but with J.K.
