Cameron Dicker had an excellent game in a Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Dicker attempted five field goals, making all five and also nailing his lone extra point attempt. Dicker ended up responsible for 16 points in a game where the Chargers scored 22 points total. His field goals came from 20, 40, 47, 45, and 52 yards out. It was an impressive performance by Dicker, who has been very accurate and consistent all season long.

Quentin Johnston made just two catches in a Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Johnston was targeted five times, making just the pair of catches for 29 yards total. He made one relatively big play by his NFL standards, catching a pass for a 21-yard gain. Johnston's disappointing rookie season is mercifully coming to an end soon, but not before the Chargers take on the Broncos next week on New Year's Eve.

Gerald Everett made a team-high seven catches in a Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Everett tied for the team lead in targets with eight, and made the most catches with his seven. He was second on the team in receiving yards with 42. In a dilapidated Chargers offense, Everett has essentially become the WR2, and may continue in that role if
Keenan Allen (heel) doesn't suit up next week against the Denver Broncos.

Joshua Palmer led the Chargers in receiving yards in a Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Palmer was targeted eight times, making five catches for 47 yards. He ended up tied for the team lead in targets, second in catches, and first in yards. With
Keenan Allen (heel) out, Palmer ended up as the WR1 on this struggling offense, and could remain in that role next week against the Broncos if Allen is unable to suit up.

Joshua Kelley may have finally hit rock bottom in a Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Kelley ran the ball just once, losing two yards. He was not targeted in the passing game, leaving him with a total of negative two yards on the day. Kelley has been operating as
Austin Ekeler's backup while Ekeler has been healthy, but he's at least had some change-of-pace opportunities in past games. He can be safely dropped by any fantasy managers still holding on for some reason.

Austin Ekeler had another fairly pedestrian game in a Week 16 contest against the Buffalo Bills. Ekeler ran the ball 15 times, gaining 65 yards. He also saw four passing game targets, catching three of them for 21 yards. Ekeler found some room to run against a tough Bills defense, but he couldn't find the end zone or rip off any huge gains. His biggest gain on the ground was 10 yards and his longest catch was 14. He and the Chargers will get the Broncos next week on New Year's Eve.

10 months agoLos Angeles Chargers quarterback
Easton Stick found the end zone on his own in a Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He attempted 33 passes, completing 23 of them for 215 yards without any turnovers. Stick also ran the ball seven times for 25 more yards and a score. His touchdown came on a one-yard run in the second quarter. It was a decent enough performance for Stick against a solid Bills defense, but it wasn't much of a fantasy performance despite the rushing touchdown. Stick and the Chargers will face the Broncos on the road on New Year's Eve.

10 months agoLos Angeles Chargers All-Pro pass-rusher Joey Bosa (foot) had his 21-day practice window opened on Thursday and was listed as a limited participant in practice, but he was also officially ruled out from playing in the Week 16 contest against the Buffalo Bills this Saturday. Bosa can now practice with the team but must be officially activated from Injured Reserve in order to play in either of the team's final two regular season games. With the Bolts 2023 season over, they are not going to rush the 28-year-old back into action. The former third overall pick in 2016 has made four Pro Bowls in his eight seasons in the NFL, but he's been pretty injury-prone as well, playing in only 14 games the last two years combined. The former Defensive Rookie of the Year has 6.5 sacks, 20 tackles (14 solo), six tackles for loss, eight QB hits, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in nine games played this year.

10 months agoThe Los Angeles Chargers defense is not a starting fantasy option in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. The Chargers are coming off a game where they allowed 63 points to a Raiders team that had been shut out the week before. Now taking on an actually good offense in the Buffalo Bills, it's hard to imagine things can get worse, but then again we never would have imagined a 42-0 game at halftime last week either. The Chargers defense has had some solid games this season, but they should absolutely not be in any starting lineups in Week 16.

Cameron Dicker is not a strong starting option in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. Dicker only attempted (and made) three extra points in a Week 15 loss. With the Chargers offense struggling in all aspects with
Easton Stick under center and
Keenan Allen (heel) out for another game, Dicker is unlikely to get many chances to kick. He should remain on the waiver wire in most formats despite a solid season.

Gerald Everett has seen his fantasy arrow pointing up lately and has a decent matchup in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. Everett has been the fantasy TE13 in the past four weeks, even with
Easton Stick in there for two of those games. The Bills have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, and it's one of the few ways their defense can be exploited. Everett doesn't have a ton of upside with Stick under center, but he has a decent floor and should be in starting lineups in most 2TE formats.

10 months agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Jalen Guyton is unlikely to be a fantasy relevant option in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. Guyton has nine catches all season and will work behind
Joshua Palmer and
Quentin Johnston on an offense led by
Easton Stick. Guyton has the speed to break off a long touchdown at any point, but that small likelihood is essentially his only chance to put up a significant fantasy performance. He should remain on most waiver wires.

Quentin Johnston is not worth a starting spot in most fantasy lineups in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. Johnston hasn't done much all season, but he's been even more of an afterthought in the passing game when
Joshua Palmer is active. With
Keenan Allen (heel) out, Johnston might play a slightly bigger role, but that just makes it more likely that he'll drop a critical pass than actually put up big numbers. Johnston should only be rostered in deeper dynasty leagues at this point.

Joshua Palmer has some fantasy upside in Week 16 despite a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Making the matchup tougher is the fact that quarterback
Easton Stick will be leading the Los Angeles offense instead of
Justin Herbert, but still someone has to catch his passes, and Palmer seems the most likely to do it. Palmer showed he was healthy in his return to the lineup last week, and he was able to put up four catches for 113 yards and a touchdown. The Bills defense has been solid all season against the pass, limiting Palmer's upside a bit, but if we assume there will be some fourth quarter garbage time for the Chargers again in this one, Palmer could pile up some fantasy-significant yardage, especially with
Keenan Allen (heel) out. Palmer is a WR3 with some upside despite all the challenges.

Isaiah Spiller could have a big role again in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. Spiller led the Chargers backfield in Week 15, picking up 50 yards on 16 carries. It was hard to tell what the real plan was as the Chargers had no chance as early as the first quarter, but Spiller did end up getting fed the ball. With the Chargers having nothing to play for and just trying to close out the season, they may stick with Spiller to see what they have for next season, especially since
Austin Ekeler will be a free agent.
