10 months agoLos Angeles Chargers quarterback
Easton Stick is not a starting option in most fantasy leagues in a Week 15 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Stick will get the start and is likely to keep the role for the remainder of the season with starter
Justin Herbert (finger) done for the season. Stick played most of the game in Week 14, throwing for 179 empty yards, taking two sacks, and committing two fumbles. Even with injuries ravaging the quarterback position throughout the NFL, Stick will be one of the worst starting quarterbacks to take the field in Week 15 and should be left on almost all fantasy waiver wires.

10 months agoThe Los Angeles Chargers signed former TCU quarterback
Max Duggan from their practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Tuesday, according to his agent. The move comes with starting quarterback
Justin Herbert (finger) headed to Injured Reserve following season-ending surgery to fix a fractured index finger on his right hand on Tuesday.
Easton Stick will take over as the Chargers' starter under center and will be making his first career start in Week 15 on Thursday night against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. As a result of Herbert's injury, the Chargers offense will be even more untrustworthy from a fantasy perspective for the final four regular season games. The 22-year-old Duggan will serve as Stick's backup.

10 months agoLos Angeles Chargers tight ends
Gerald Everett (hip) and
Donald Parham Jr. (shoulder) were both listed as limited participants in the team's second walkthrough practice this week on Tuesday. Both Everett and Parham should be ready to play on a short week this Thursday night against the Las Vegas Raiders. However, neither of them will be particularly attractive TE2 streamers in a good matchup now that quarterback
Justin Herbert (finger) will miss the rest of the 2023 season. The 29-year-old Everett has been the starter for the Bolts at tight end when healthy, but he's been an inconsistent and touchdown-dependent TE2 option for fantasy managers in 2023 with 34 receptions for 293 yards and three touchdowns in his 11 games played.

10 months agoThe Los Angeles Chargers activated wide receiver
Joshua Palmer (knee) from Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Palmer has been listed as a full participant in the team's two walkthrough practices so far this week and is set to return to the starting lineup in Week 15 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday Night Football. The 24-year-old has missed the last six games and hasn't been on the field since Week 8, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to see a ton of snaps in his first game back. Palmer probably deserves to be rostered in most fantasy leagues as a bench stash, as he was serving as the No. 2 behind
Keenan Allen before his injury, but the season-ending injury to quarterback
Justin Herbert (finger) puts a damper on Palmer's fantasy ceiling for the final four games of the regular season.

10 months agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Joshua Palmer (knee) was listed as a full-go on Monday's estimated practice report. The Chargers opened the 21-day practice window for Palmer to be activated off Injured Reserve last Wednesday, and there's a chance that they officially activate him before Thursday's contest versus the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders if he looks good on Tuesday. The 24-year-old should resume his role as the No. 2 receiver in LA's offense behind target hog
Keenan Allen when he returns, which has made him a popular stash candidate in fantasy leagues. However, the injury to quarterback
Justin Herbert (fractured index finger) that could keep him out for the final four games of the year, means that Palmer probably isn't going to have much upside when he returns if he's taking passes from backup
Easton Stick.

10 months agoLos Angeles Chargers tight ends
Gerald Everett (hip) and
Donald Parham Jr. (shoulder) were both listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report. Everett and Parham are no stranger to the injury report this year, but their injuries this week shouldn't be serious enough to keep them from playing this Thursday evening against the Las Vegas Raiders. In the Week 14 loss to the Denver Broncos, Everett caught five of his eight targets for 39 yards, while Parham hauled in one of two targets for an 11-yard gain. Everett has been a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE2 in overall half-PPR points through 14 weeks in 2023 and will now be losing more fantasy value with quarterback
Justin Herbert (finger) potentially missing the rest of the regular season after fracturing the index finger on his throwing hand on Sunday.

10 months agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Keenan Allen (heel) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Allen has dealt with various ailments this year but has not missed a game. The 31-year-old is likely being rested on a short week before Thursday's divisional clash with the Las Vegas Raiders, but Allen's status is worth watching in Week 15. Allen has had a fantastic year with a league-high and career-high 108 receptions for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns to make him the WR3 in half-PPR scoring. However, there's a good chance he'll be without quarterback
Justin Herbert, who fractured the index finger on his throwing hand in Week 14, for the final four regular season games. Allen will still be a must-start in all fantasy lineups if he's active, but managers will want to temper expectations with
Easton Stick throwing him passes.

10 months agoLos Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert (finger) is very likely to undergo surgery on Tuesday to fix his fractured right index finger, according to a source. Whether Herbert will be able to return this year will be determined by the surgery. However, with four games remaining in the regular season and the Chargers out of the playoff picture at 5-8, it's unlikely Herbert will return at this point. He was listed as a non-participant on Monday's injury report and is not going to play on Thursday night in Week 15 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers that have been using Herbert all year will need to use their backup option or hit the waiver wire moving forward. In LA,
Easton Stick is in line to make the first start of his career this week against the Raiders.

10 months agoA report surfaced last week that the Los Angeles Chargers might involve running back
Joshua Kelley more in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos with
Austin Ekeler struggling to get anything going on the ground. That didn't end up happening. Instead, Kelley played a season-low 10 percent of the offensive snaps -- even
Isaiah Spiller was on the field more -- and had three carries for six yards in the 24-7 loss. He wasn't involved in the passing game. The Bolts fell behind by a couple scores early and were never able to get back into the contest. It didn't help that quarterback
Justin Herbert fractured his right index finger and didn't return after halftime. The 26-year-old backup remains well off the fantasy radar, especially now that Herbert might be forced to miss the final four games of the regular season.

10 months agoLos Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert (finger) is not expected to play on Thursday night against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15 due to the fractured right index finger he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. Herbert will be consulting with Dr. Steven Shin to determine the extent of the injury and how much time he will miss, according to a source. The 25-year-old QB already suffered a fractured finger earlier this year, but that was to his left (non-throwing) hand. This one is to the index finger on his throwing hand, which is much more serious for a QB and will put the rest of his season in doubt with only four games remaining.
Easton Stick, who replaced Herbert under center in the Week 14 loss, is in line to make his first career start against the Raiders this week, which is obviously a big downgrade for LA's offense.

10 months agoLos Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert (finger) sustained a fractured index finger on his throwing hand, which is putting the rest of his season in jeopardy. He'll have an MRI done on the finger today to determine if he's able to come back this season. He will almost certainly not be on the field on Thursday night when the Chargers face off against the Raiders. Given the record for Los Angeles, there's little reason to rush Herbert back.
Easton Stick threw for 179 yards in relief duty and would likely get the start in Week 15.

11 months agoLos Angeles Chargers tight end
Gerald Everett had a solid game in a Week 14 loss to the Denver Broncos. Everett was targeted eight times, catching five passes for 39 yards. The Chargers offense could barely move the ball all game, but Everett was able to make some nice plays and came about an inch or two away from holding onto a first quarter touchdown. With
Justin Herbert (finger) likely to miss time, Everett and all Chargers pass catchers will see their fantasy value dip a bit in the coming weeks.

11 months agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Keenan Allen made six catches in a Week 14 loss to the Denver Broncos. Allen led the team in targets with 12, making a catch on six of those for a total of 68 yards. He also attempted to make a pass on a trick play, but it fell incomplete. Allen was once again the focus of the Chargers passing game, but it was a game-long struggle that certainly didn't get any better when
Easton Stick was forced to quarterback the team for all of the second half. Stick will almost certainly get the start on Thursday against the Raiders in the place of
Justin Herbert (finger), which will immediately lower the fantasy value of Allen and all Chargers offensive players.
