Justin Jackson Shines In Surprise Role
Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Justin Jackson finally had the chance to see some action on Sunday, and he looked great. The seventh-round pick carried the ball seven times for 57 yards, racking up an incredible 8.1 YPC. The seven carries were more than he's tallied in the rest of the season combined, and […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler was the team's most targeted receiver on Sunday as he brought in 10 passes for 68 yards. Ekeler also toted the ball five times for 35 yards and a touchdown, and he looks to be the new starter as Melvin Gordon is sidelined with an MCL injury. Ekeler […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoPhilip Rivers Sets Record In Dominant Win
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers completed his first 25 passes in a row in Sunday's game against Arizona, setting a new NFL mark. He'd finish the day 28-for-29 for 259 yards and three touchdowns as LA routed the Cards. Rivers is a quiet front-runner for the MVP award this season, and he's having the […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoKJ Wright Out Again
Seattle Seahawks linebacker KJ Wright is out for Sunday's game against Carolina due to recurring knee issues, and that makes Seattle's defense a questionable play. Carolina isn't exactly an offensive powerhouse, but Seattle has been ripped by patterns across the middle this year. The Panthers have hung a lot of points on a couple soft […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoDavid Moore Is A Solid Sleeper In Week 12
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore has thrived in his role of "third receiver in charge of making it on Sportscenter," and he should have a wonderful opportunity to showcase himself once again this week. With starting wide receiver Doug Baldwin questionable due to a knee injury, Moore could see himself bumped up to a […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoTyler Lockett Gets Another Opportunity
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett should have another golden opportunity on Sunday as he travels to Carolina. Lockett has been Seattle's most dependable receiver so far this season as No. 1 target Doug Baldwin has been shuffling through multiple injuries, and he should be the primary target this week again as Baldwin is hampered […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoMike Davis Is Off To Obscurity
Seattle Seahawks running back Mike Davis looks like he's back to the back of the pack. Following a 15-carry outburst against the Chargers in which he only tallied up 62 yards, Davis watched his carries fall to 11 against the Rams and just four against the Packers. Obviously, with head coach Pete Carroll pulling the […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoRashaad Penny Sees Ascendance Delayed
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back looked like his time may have come after he broke off 108 yards against the division-rival Rams two weeks ago, but he was quickly relegated back to the backup role last week against Green Bay. With Chris Carson once again looking like he's going to be the workhorse, Penny's value […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoChris Carson Should Have Room To Work
Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson continues to lose some carries to the committee of Mike Davis and Rashaad Penny, but he's still clearly the primary back. Carson logged 17 carries for 83 yards and a touchdown in Seattle's narrow win over the Packers, and a similar line is likely this week against a mediocre […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoRussell Wilson Faces Carolina Again
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson might want to start looking into buying a place in Charlotte. In his six previous seasons, Wilson has faced the Panthers seven times, and this will make the fifth time he's played in the Tar Heel State (just as a professional, since he played there a lot while he was […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoJD McKissic Not Playing This Week
Seattle Seahawks running back JD McKissic returned to the practice field this week for the first time this season, but head coach Pete Carroll said he won't be active for the game against Carolina. Carroll told reporters that McKissic looked great in practice, but it wasn't a smart thing to try to push him into […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoDoug Baldwin Questionable For Sunday
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin remains questionable for Sunday due to a groin injury, and head coach Pete Carroll told reporters that Baldwin will be a game-time decision. He said that Baldwin's playing time depends on how he feels during pre-game warm-ups. Baldwin is known for his dependability, so it wouldn't be surprising if […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoCorey Liuget Placed On IR, Chargers Defense Still A Good Start
Los Angeles Chargers defensive tackle Corey Liuget was officially placed on injured reserve after he underwent surgery to repair his torn quad tendon this week. Liuget was considered one of the key pieces in the resurgence of the LA defense, but his loss probably won't be too huge a blow this week. The Chargers are […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoAntonio Gates Unlikely To Repeat Success
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Antonio Gates got a surprise moment in the sun last week when he ripped the Broncos for 80 yards and a touchdown on five receptions, but fantasy owners should probably treat it as a fluke for now. While the performance was wonderful to see for historical reasons, Gates had only […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoKeenan Allen Looks To Continue TD Streak
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is on fire. Allen has been targeted 31 times in the last three games, hauled in 21 of those chances, and totaled up 270 yards and two touchdowns during the set. The touchdowns have been a welcome addition that was missing from Allen's numbers in the first half […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoAustin Ekeler A Possible Start This Week
Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler may get another shot as the starter this season. Ekeler got the call in Week 7 when starter Melvin Gordon sat out a game due to a balky hamstring, and he's in line to possibly be the starter this week if Gordon can't go due to another nagging […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoPhilip Rivers Likely Busy Again In Week 12
Last week, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers became just the fourth player in NFL history to record 200 yards passing and two touchdowns in his first 10 games of a season. This week, he'll be facing a Cardinals defense that has been surprisingly stingy versus opposing quarterbacks. That said, the safe money is on […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoMelvin Gordon Is A Game-Time Decision
Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to lingering soreness in his knee and hamstring. Gordon has been a limited participant in practice all week, and head coach Anthony Lynn reinforced with reporters that it will truly be a last-second call on whether Gordon […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoJoey Bosa May Make An Appearance
Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa may finally see the field. After a long, hard recovery from a foot injury he suffered in the preseason, Bosa appears poised to get into it this weekend with the Broncos. Bosa is officially listed as questionable, and he only participated in limited practices all week, but he […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoMike Williams Removed From Injury Report
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams wasn't on the team's injury report going into Sunday's game after he had been dealing with a groin injury all week. Williams' injury was always considered mild, but the complete lack of a designation is a great sign. Unfortunately, Williams still remains a long shot to produce on […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoTyrell Williams Could Boom This Weekend
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams is the epitome of a boom-or-bust pick as he's the team's frighteningly fast receiver who is pretty much a ghost if he can't land a huge catch. Williams has the hands and ability to be a more regular receiver in a system, but LA mostly uses him as […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoKeenan Allen Cleared For Sunday's Game
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen appears to be good to go against Denver. Allen was placed on the injury report this week for a combination of finger and hip injuries, but his limited practice on Friday was apparently enough to convince coaches that he'll be ready to go on Sunday as his injury […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoAustin Ekeler Struggling To Get Touches
Los Angeles Chargers alternative running back Austin Ekeler remains just good enough to be tantalizing, but the lack of usage makes him risky at best in fantasy. The second-year back has seen his usage increase a bit from last season, but LA's monster primary back, Melvin Gordon, is just too good to be supplanted for […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoMelvin Gordon Will Run All Over Denver
Los Angeles Chargers running back/superstar Melvin Gordon has one mission on his mind every time he touches the ball, and that's how to find the end zone. It doesn't matter if he's carrying it from the backfield or catching it in space, he's looking for paydirt. He's tied for fourth in the league with 11 […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoPhilip Rivers A Strong Start In Week 11
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is a force to be reckoned with this year. At 36 years of age, Rivers is on pace for one of the best seasons of his career. He's currently on pace to top 35 touchdowns with less than 10 interceptions, and he should finish north of 4,000 yards passing […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoSebastian Janikowski Is Perfect Again
Seattle Seahawks kicker Sebastian Janikowski showed off again on Thursday as he put up another perfect game. Janikowski made both field goal opportunities as well as three extra points to put the game away for the Seahawks while his counterpart on the other side missed a field goal try that ended up being the deciding […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoFrank Clark Matches Career High In Sacks
Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark has become a frightening force. Clark brought down future Hall-of-Famer Aaron Rodgers twice on Thursday night to bring his season total to 10, matching his career high from 2016. With six more games to go on the season, Clark is riding a five-game streak in which he's recorded at […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoEd Dickson Hauls In Second TD
Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson brought in the game-winning touchdown on Thursday night as the Seahawks topped Green Bay. Dickson was only targeted once all night, and it was on a wide open pattern right down the gut with the game on the line. Unfortunately, Seattle appears to continue to struggle with how best […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoDoug Baldwin Finally Finds End Zone
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin finally got the monkey off his back by taking one to the house. Baldwin had been plagued by a knee injury all year, but he reported earlier this week that it was finally painless. He was promptly targeted 10 times and hauled in seven for 52 yards. The touchdown […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoDavid Moore Overthrown Multiple Times
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore had a few open chances early in Thursday night's game against the Packers, but he unfortunately had a terrible version of Russell Wilson throwing to him. Moore finished the game catching four of eight targets for 57 yards, but owners shouldn't cry doom just yet, as he easily could […]
