4 months agoLos Angeles Chargers running back
Gus Edwards scored a touchdown against his former team, the Baltimore Ravens, in a Week 12 loss. Edwards ran the ball nine times, gaining just 11 yards total, but one of them was a one-yard plunge into the end zone in the fourth quarter. With
J.K. Dobbins (knee) forced to exit the game and possibly looking at missing more time, Edwards could see a jump to the top of the depth chart before next week's game against the Atlanta Falcons. While he hasn't shown much burst at all this season, any lead back is worth fantasy consideration if that's where Edwards ends up.

4 months agoLos Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert disappointed in a Week 12 Monday Night Football loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Herbert attempted 36 passes, completing 21 of them for 218 yards. He took four sacks, losing 16 yards. He fumbled once, but it was recovered by the Chargers. He added four rushes for 29 yards on the ground, including a touchdown on a five-yard run in the first quarter. Herbert was ranked as one of the top quarterbacks this week since the Ravens defense has struggled all year against the pass, but he was unable to get anything consistent going. Some bad routes, bad calls, and bad drops didn't help. Herbert and the Bolts will face off against the Falcons in Week 13.

4 months agoLos Angeles Chargers defensive back Eli Apple (hamstring) is questionable to return for Monday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Apple suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter and has remained sidelined until halftime. It remains to be seen if Apple will return to the field in the second half. Apple has only appeared in four games this season as a reserve. However, the Chargers are fairly thin at defensive back, so the loss of Apple does make an impact Deane Leonard figures to see more snaps if Apple is unable to play after halftime.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) is currently considered questionable to return for Monday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Dobbins made an early exit to the locker room due to an apparent knee issue. The good news is that Dobbins was able to leave the field under his own power. It doesn't sound like too serious of an issue, but more information should be known soon. Dobbins rushed six times for 40 yards while hauling in three receptions for 19 yards before exiting ahead of halftime. If he remains out,
Gus Edwards figures to serve as the lead back for the rest of the night.

4 months agoLos Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Khalil Mack (groin), who was questionable to play in Week 12, is active on Monday night versus the Baltimore Ravens. Mack will return to the pass-rushing fold for the Bolts after sitting out the Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals due to a groin issue. It's good news for the Chargers defense in a tough matchup against the second-highest-scoring offense in the league. The 33-year-old Mack had a career-high 17 sacks in his second season in LA in 2024 4.5 sacks through nine starts in 2024. He could be on some sort of a snap count in his first game back on Monday night, which makes him a more volatile starting defensive line option in IDP fantasy formats. Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson is extremely hard to reach in the backfield and bring down for sacks, which is another reason to fade Mack in his return.

4 months agoLos Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey (shoulder) is officially active on Monday night to face the visiting Baltimore Ravens, as expected. McConkey will end up playing despite being listed as questionable on the final Week 12 injury report. It's excellent news for the Chargers offense, fantasy managers that rolled the dice on McCaffrey despite his questionable tag, and quarterback
Justin Herbert's fantasy value in a plus-plus matchup. The Ravens defense has allowed the most half-PPR fantasy points to receivers this year. Meanwhile, McConkey has been Herbert's favorite target, as he leads the team with 43 receptions, 615 receiving yards and four touchdowns in his first 10 NFL games. The second-round selection out of Georgia could feast on Monday night. Both of his 100-yard games in 2024 have come in the last four games, including in the Week 11 win over the Bengals.

4 months agoThe Los Angeles Chargers expect pass-rusher Khalil Mack (groin) to play on Monday night against the visiting Baltimore Ravens to close out Week 12 action. Mack was listed as questionable for Monday's game due to a groin injury that kept him sidelined for the team's Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday night. The 33-year-old veteran linebacker made the Pro Bowl for the eighth time in his career in 2023 in his second year with the Bolts, when he went off for a career-best 17 sacks. In his third season, he hasn't been quite as good, recording only 4.5 sacks and 26 tackles (12 solo) in nine starts. It looks like Mack will return on Monday night across from Joey Bosa as a strong Chargers defense looks to slow down one of the highest-scoring offenses in the league -- second with 30.4 points per game.

4 months agoLos Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey (shoulder) is expected to play in the team's Monday night game against the Baltimore Ravens despite drawing a questionable designation for Week 12. McConkey was unable to practice last Thursday and was limited on Friday and Saturday. The second-rounder out of Georgia leads all rookies with 43 catches and 614 yards and should stay busy on Monday in an excellent matchup against a Ravens secondary that has been allowing big plays to receivers all year. The 23-year-old leads the Chargers in catches, receiving yards and touchdowns (four) going into Monday's contest. During the team's four-game winning streak, McConkey has two 100-yard games, including a season-high 123 yards in the Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Baltimore has allowed the most half-PPR points to wideouts per game in 2024.

4 months agoThe Los Angeles Chargers placed tight end
Hayden Hurst (hip) on Injured Reserve on Monday before their Week 12 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. Hurst, who wasn't on the fantasy radar to begin with, will now miss at least the next four games and won't be eligible to return until Week 16 against the division-rival Denver Broncos at SoFi Stadium on a Thursday night. The 31-year-old veteran only had seven catches on 12 targets for 65 yards and no touchdowns in seven games this year in his first season with the Bolts.
Will Dissly will continue to benefit in LA's offense from the absence of Hurst, while
Stone Smartt will also have a bigger backup role. Dissly, who had four catches for 80 yards and his first touchdown of the year in the Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, is in play on Monday night as a low-end TE1 in fantasy against Baltimore.

4 months agoThe Los Angeles Chargers defense is better left on the bench in Week 12 fantasy lineups. The Bolts will face off against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football, and even though the Chargers defense has been one of the best in the league this season, the Ravens offense has proven to essentially be matchup proof. This is expected to be one of the higher scoring games of the week, so even with how well the Chargers defense has played this season, they are ranked outside of the top-15 for this week. They have some decent matchups coming up, but this is certainly not one of them.

4 months agoLos Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker should have another strong performance in a Week 12 game against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Dicker is coming off a strong performance in Week 11 where he ended up as the overall K3 for the week. He's been a top-15 fantasy kicker each week but one since Week 5, and should once again land in that range in what could be a high-scoring game. Dicker is one of the safer fantasy kickers this season, and he has nice upside most weeks as well.

4 months agoLos Angeles Chargers tight end
Will Dissly is set for a strong performance in a Week 12 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Dissly has been the overall fantasy TE15 since Week 6, and has finished in the TE1 rankings twice in that span. He's coming off an overall TE5 finish last week, and could see even more targets thrown his way with
Hayden Hurst (hip) ruled out. The Ravens defense has been very kind to opposing tight ends, allowing the fourth-most receiving yards per game to the position. Dissly had been piling on the targets and catches lately, and in Week 11 he came up with his first touchdown of the season. Another one is far from unlikely in Week 12, making him a lower-end TE1 option with some upside in what should be a high-scoring contest.

4 months agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Joshua Palmer is not a good fantasy option in Week 12 lineups despite a great matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Palmer put up a WR2 performance in Week 9 but has otherwise been outside of the top 24 fantasy wide receivers every week this season. The Ravens secondary struggles mightily against wide receivers (they've allowed the most fantasy points and the most yards to outside pass catchers), but Palmer just isn't involved enough in the passing game to be anything more than a touchdown-dependent dart throw in deep leagues.

4 months agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston has plenty of upside in a Week 12 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Johnston set a new season-high last week with eight targets, tying him for the team lead with
Ladd McConkey. McConkey is questionable with a shoulder injury, and while he seems likely to play, Johnston would have even more upside if his fellow wide out were forced to miss the game. Johnston, who plays the perimeter role on the Chargers offense, could have a huge game since the Ravens secondary has allowed the most fantasy points and receiving yards to outside wide receivers. He's a fairly safe WR3 with a lot more upside than most of the guys ranked around him.
