5 months agoLos Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert had an efficient and effective game in a Week 10 win against the Tennessee Titans. Herbert attempted 18 passes, completing 14 of them for 164 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. Herbert did not take a sack, adding 32 yards on nine carries, including a four-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter. Herbert's other score was a passing touchdown on a 16-yard play to
Quentin Johnston. It was an extremely run-heavy script for the Chargers offense, who saw 18 pass attempts and 39 runs. Herbert and the Bolts will face the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football in Week 11.

5 months agoLos Angeles Chargers defensive ends Khalil Mack (groin) and Joey Bosa (hip) are officially active for Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans. Both players had been listed as questionable. Mack is suiting up despite missing all three days of practice this week. He hasn't missed a game this season, amassing 26 tackles, 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery through eight contests. Bosa, meanwhile, was limited in practice all week long. Injuries have held him to reduced snap counts all season long, and he's still looking to return to his Week 1 form. In that season opener, he played 40 percent of the defensive snaps, registering seven tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble. Perhaps this week's game against subpar quarterback
Will Levis will be a great opportunity for Bosa to get back on track.

5 months agoLos Angeles Chargers running back
Gus Edwards (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. He had been listed as questionable but was expected to play after being activated from injured reserve on Saturday. Edwards spent the minimum four games on injured reserve and is now back for his first contest since Week 4. Through the first four weeks of the season, he had mustered just 38 carries for 113 yards (2.97 YPC) in the No. 2 running back role behind
J.K. Dobbins. Edwards is an uninspiring handcuff option and will not have any fantasy appeal as long as Dobbins is healthy.

Kimani Vidal (coach's decision) and tight end
Stone Smartt (ankle) are both inactive for Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans. Vidal had not appeared on the injury report but is evidently the odd man out now that
Gus Edwards has rejoined the backfield following an injured reserve stint. Vidal totaled 93 scrimmage yards and one touchdown in his four-game run as
J.K. Dobbins' backup. Smartt, meanwhile, had been listed as questionable after logging three consecutive limited practices. He has just two catches this season, remaining a non-factor in fantasy football. In his absence,
Tucker Fisk will step up as the Chargers' No. 3 tight end behind
Will Dissly and
Hayden Hurst.

5 months agoAccording to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Los Angeles Chargers running back
Gus Edwards (ankle) was activated off the Injured Reserve list on Saturday. The 29-year-old wasn't relevant for fantasy managers before going on the shelf due to an ankle injury, amassing 38 touches for 113 yards in four games. While there's a chance he could get involved in Week 10 against the Titans, assuming he suits up,
J.K. Dobbins, who has played relatively well this season, will presumably remain the top option out of the backfield. Still, with Dobbins seemingly always one wrong move away from an injury, Edwards could gain streaming potential at some point moving ahead. For now, keep him out of any fantasy lineups.

5 months agoLos Angeles Chargers outside linebackers Joey Bosa (hip) and Khalil Mack (groin) are both listed as questionable to face off against the Tennessee Titans in Week 10 on Sunday. In addition, cornerback Kristian Fulton (hamstring) is doubtful and linebacker Denzel Perryman (toe) is questionable. Bosa was limited in practice all week, while Mack didn't practice at all, so Bosa has the much better shot at being active this weekend in a juicy matchup against quarterback
Will Levis (shoulder), who is returning after missing the last three games. Given their injuries, both Bosa and Mack are risky IDP fantasy options in Week 10. The 29-year-old Bosa played in the Week 9 win over the Browns but didn't record a single tackle. If one or both of Bosa and Mack are ruled inactive on Sunday afternoon, expect to see Bud Dupree take on a bigger pass-rushing role.

5 months agoLos Angeles Chargers running back
Gus Edwards (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to return from Injured Reserve and play in Week 10 against the visiting Tennessee Titans. Edwards was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full on Friday. The former Baltimore Ravens RB has not played since getting injured in the Week 4 loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. If Edwards is activated from IR on Saturday and plays on Sunday, he'll most likely be eased in as
J.K. Dobbins' backup. In the four games that Edwards played in before his injury, he took a clear back seat to Dobbins in LA's backfield and was averaging a career-low 3.0 yards per carry on 38 rushing attempts. Edwards' impending return will mean less playing time for rookie
Kimani Vidal as a change-of-pace option behind Dobbins.

5 months agoThe Los Angeles Chargers defense is projected to be one of the top defensive units in fantasy football for Week 10. The Bolts will take on the Tennessee Titans, who will have quarterback
Will Levis returning to the starting lineup. In his five games this season, Levis has thrown five touchdowns and seven interceptions. The Chargers defense has finished as a top-three fantasy defense in both of the past two weeks, and they have a good chance to end up in or near that tier once again this time around. Start them with confidence as a high-floor and even higher-ceiling DST.

5 months agoLos Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker is a solid fantasy option for a Week 10 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Dicker has been about as consistent as fantasy kickers can be this season, scoring double digit fantasy points in four of the Chargers' eight games, peaking with 21 points in Week 7. This week, he faces a Tennessee Titans team that has been very generous to opposing fantasy kickers. With the Chargers offense expected to do well in this game, Dicker should be given at least a few chances to kick. He's a top-10 option at fantasy's least projectable position.

5 months agoLos Angeles Chargers tight end
Will Dissly is unlikely to make a significant fantasy impact in a Week 10 game against the Tennessee Titans. Dissly was heavily involved in the Chargers passing game between Weeks 6 and 8, drawing 23 targets across the three games, but that was mostly due to other Chargers pass catchers missing time with injuries. In Week 9, with several pass catchers returning, Dissly saw just three targets and made two catches for a total of nine yards. He has yet to score a touchdown this season and shouldn't be relied upon as anything more than a non-zero floor tight end option. Most leagues will likely have at least one higher upside option on the waiver wire for this week.

5 months agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Joshua Palmer remains a risky fantasy option in Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans. Palmer scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 9, but ended up totaling just two catches on four targets. That seems to be the role Palmer has settled into in this Chargers offense. He could occasionally come up with big plays but it won't be consistent enough to make him a reliable fantasy option. With
D.J. Chark (groin) expected to return this week, Palmer could have even more competition in the passing game going forward.

5 months agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston will look to stay hot in a Week 10 game against the Tennessee Titans. The sophomore pass catcher was forced to miss Weeks 7 and 8 with an ankle injury, but he came back in Week 9 and put up 118 yards and a touchdown, ending up as the overall fantasy WR6 with an even 20 fantasy points. This matchup may be a little tougher, as the Tennessee defense has been stingy against outside wide receivers so far this season. They are in the top third of defenses in terms of receiving yards and fantasy points per game allowed to outside wide receivers. The Chargers may focus more on passing to their slot receivers and tight ends in this one, but Johnston still will certainly have a role and is always a threat to score on a deep ball. He has a lower floor than usual this week, but a similar ceiling.

5 months agoLos Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey is in a good spot to have a big game in Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans. McConkey is the overall WR30 in fantasy points per game so far this season, and while he had a pedestrian Week 9 performance (8.9 fantasy points), he's still not far removed from his huge Week 8, where he was the overall WR2, putting up 26.1 fantasy points against the Saints. In Week 10, the rookie slot receiver will face the Titans defense, who has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing slot receivers. They've fared mostly well against outside receivers, so quarterback
Justin Herbert could target McConkey even more than usual, who already has a 22.7% target share and a 27.3% first-read share. It could be a huge week for the rookie, but it will almost certainly be a high floor type of game at the very least.

5 months agoLos Angeles Chargers rookie running back
Kimani Vidal is not an option in Week 10 fantasy lineups. Vidal has played a direct backup role to starter
J.K. Dobbins this season, but Dobbins has been on the field for the vast majority of snaps and Vidal only gets a handful of touches per game, if that. With
Gus Edwards (ankle) working his way back from IR, Vidal's small role could get even smaller soon. While Edwards isn't likely to play in Week 10, he could return the following week and push Vidal lower on the depth chart. Vidal should be rostered in deeper dynasty leagues, but can be left on most standard league's waiver wires at this point.
--David A Marcillo - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
5 months agoLos Angeles Chargers running back
J.K. Dobbins has a tough matchup in Week 10, but should still be a solid RB2 option regardless. Dobbins is the overall RB13 in fantasy points per game, and the Chargers offense has run through him at certain points this season. He's coming off a big game in Cleveland where he scored 23.5 fantasy points and ended up as the week's RB6. The Titans defense is a bit more of a challenge, as they've held opposing running backs to the fourth-lowest rushing success rate and the third-lowest yards after contact rate as well. Still, with his heavy involvement and the Chargers generally heavily favored in this game, Dobbins should have his chances and is always a threat for the end zone.
