11 months agoLos Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Quentin Johnston had a solid game in a Week 14 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was targeted four times, making three catches for 91 yards, including a huge 57-yard grab on a rare good throw from quarterback
Easton Stick. Johnston has been a disappointment most of the season, but this was a flash of what he can do. He's still not really on the fantasy radar, but there's a glimmer of hope at least for those holding onto him in dynasty leagues.

Austin Ekeler scored a touchdown in a Week 14 loss to the Denver Broncos. Ekeler ran the ball 10 times, gaining 51 yards and scoring a touchdown on a three-yard run in the fourth quarter. He added five catches on seven targets, gaining an additional 49 yards. It was an effective game for the Chargers running back despite the team struggling mightily in almost every aspect. With
Justin Herbert (finger) unlikely to play next week, Ekeler will certainly lose a good bit of his fantasy value, possibly dropping into higher RB3 ranks for Thursday night.

Easton Stick took over in a Week 14 game against the Denver Broncos. Starter
Justin Herbert (finger) was injured in the second quarter and was unable to return. Stick ended up attempting 24 passes, completing 13 of them for 179 yards. He took two sacks, losing 31 yards. He led the only Chargers touchdown drive of the game in the fourth quarter, but it was mostly a performance marred by overthrows and poor footwork in the pocket. With Herbert doubtful at best on a short week, Stick is likely to start on Thursday Night Football against the Las Vegas Raiders. It will be a good week to start the Raiders defense in fantasy leagues.

Justin Herbert (finger) didn't return to Sunday's ugly loss to the Denver Broncos. The signal-caller exited halfway through the contest and was listed as questionable. However, the team announced after halftime that Herbert's day was finished. As relayed by NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, head coach Brandon Staley reported that Herbert sustained a fractured right index finger to his throwing hand. As a result, Herbert will likely need more tests to determine his treatment plan. But it's unlikely he'll be on the field on Thursday night against the Las Vegas Raiders. There's also a chance his season is over, considering the Chargers aren't expected to enter the postseason conversation. If that's the case,
Easton Stick, who threw for 179 yards off 13-for-24 passing, may be under center for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign, although his presence may not be good news for
Keenan Allen, who's been a top fantasy signal-caller all year.

Justin Herbert (finger) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Denver Broncos. The signal-caller suffered a finger injury on his throwing hand, so he'll finish with 96 yards and an interception off 9-for-17 passing.
Easton Stick will be under center for the remainder of the contest, although it's possible he could also be starting on Thursday night against Vegas if Herbert can't suit up.

Justin Herbert (finger) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Denver Broncos. He suffered a finger injury on his throwing hand, although a further update on his status for the rest of Week 14 may not come until after halftime. But if Herbert doesn't return, he'll finish with 96 yards and an interception off 9-for-17 passing.
Easton Stick is in for relief, although his presence may not be a good thing for guys like
Austin Ekeler and
Keenan Allen.

11 months agoLos Angeles Chargers running back
Austin Ekeler will draw the start in Week 14 versus the Denver Broncos, according to NFL Network. However, he will split touches with
Joshua Kelley and
Isaiah Spiller, and the team will ride the hot hand at running back. It's an intriguing storyline to follow given that Ekeler has massively underperformed in recent weeks. However, Kelly hasn't been flashy, either, and Spiller hasn't been active since Week 8 (but has been confirmed as active for this Sunday, per Rapoport). For the time being, Ekeler remains the only player in this backfield worth starting in fantasy football.

Joshua Palmer (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 14 versus the Denver Broncos. He had been limited in practice earlier this week and ultimately won't be activated from injured reserve in time for kickoff on Sunday.
Keenan Allen remains the only Chargers wide receiver in must-start territory for fantasy purposes.

Joshua Palmer (knee) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. This marks back-to-back limited practice sessions for Palmer to begin the week. His 21-day window to return is open, so possibly Palmer gets back on the field for the Week 14 matchup against the Denver Broncos. If active, Palmer would have some WR3 upside with the Chargers having limited weapons on offense. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Friday for another update on his status.

11 months agoThe Los Angeles Chargers defense will have a much harder matchup in a Week 14 game against the Denver Broncos. The Chargers ended up as the second ranked fantasy defense in Week 13, putting up 17 fantasy points for an overall DST2 finish. They allowed zero points, recorded five sacks, and recovered a fumble, but that was all against a very limited Patriots offense. The Broncos don't feature a top-tier offensive unit, but they're streets ahead of the Patriots.

11 months agoLos Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker is set for a good game in a Week 14 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Dicker scored all six points in the Chargers-Patriots game in Week 13, drilling two field goals in the 6-0 win. Week 14 should feature at least a few more points, giving Dicker a better outlook for the week. He's a top-10 kicking option in fantasy formats that have the position on the roster.

11 months agoLos Angeles Chargers tight end
Gerald Everett could have a big game in a Week 14 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Everett has had two of his highest snap shares in the past two games and put up 18 fantasy points combined in the two weeks. The Denver defense has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends as well as the second-most receiving yards to the position. With a limited pass-catching corps around for the Chargers due to injury, Everett should be a bottom-half TE1 this week.

11 months agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Jalen Guyton is not worth a start in a Week 14 game against the Denver Broncos. Guyton is the fastest wide receiver on the Chargers roster, but it has not translated into anything on the field, as he's gone two games in a row with just one catch in each game. He's totaled 14 fantasy points in the four games he's played this season, with 12 of those points coming in a solid Week 10 performance. He's off the fantasy radar until he can prove that the one-catch games are the exception and not the 12-point one.

11 months agoLos Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Quentin Johnston is coming off one of his best games before a Week 14 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Johnston set career highs last week in three categories with seven targets, five catches, and 52 yards. It wasn't a great performance by any means (eight fantasy points) and he left points on the field with another atrocious drop in a key moment, but it was at least a small sign of progress. Johnston is not worth starting in most fantasy formats at this point, but he's someone to keep an eye on in case all of the talent finally clicks.

11 months agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Keenan Allen is set to bounce back in a Week 14 game against the Denver Broncos. Allen was dealing with a quadriceps injury last week and had a down game by his standards, putting up just eight fantasy points. He's still a top-three fantasy wide receiver in almost all formats, and despite a tough matchup against the Broncos defense, he's easily ranked in the WR1 tier this week. Allen did not practice on Wednesday, but was listed as a non-injury related rest day, which is another excellent sign.
