2 weeks agoLos Angeles Chargers tight end
Will Dissly led the team in catches and targets in a Week 10 win over the Tennessee Titans. Dissly made five catches on six targets for a total of 30 yards. Quarterback
Justin Herbert only attempted 18 passes, completing 14 of them. Dissly returned to a heavily involved role in the passing game after a down game last week. He may continue with similar involvement going forward, but he's very much just a floor play without much of a ceiling. The Bolts will take on the Bengals in Week 11 for a Sunday Night Football contest.

2 weeks agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Joshua Palmer made just one catch in a Week 10 win over the Tennessee Titans. Palmer was targeted twice, making his one catch for a 36-yard gain. Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert only attempted 18 passes in this extremely run-heavy game, leaving Palmer tied for third on the team in targets with his pair and second on the team in receiving yards with the 36. Palmer has seemingly worked his way into a boom-or-bust type role but has yet to have a significant boom week. He's not a reliable fantasy starter and should remain on most fantasy benches in Week 11 when the Chargers take on the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football.

2 weeks agoLos Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey made just two catches in a Week 10 win over the Tennessee Titans. He ended up leading the team in receiving yards though, gaining 52 yards on the day. McConkey only saw two targets on a day where quarterback
Justin Herbert attempted only 18 passes. McConkey had a long 37-yard gain and combined that with a 15-yard play to compile his yardage. McConkey is likely to see more than just two targets on Sunday Night Football in Week 11, when the Chargers will face the Cincinnati Bengals.

2 weeks agoLos Angeles Chargers running back
Gus Edwards (ankle) returned from Injured Reserve and played well in a Week 10 win against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Edwards spent the minimum four games on IR and returned to take 10 carries, gaining 55 yards. He ended up leading the team in rushing yards and finishing second in rushing attempts. Edwards will remain in a backup role behind
J.K. Dobbins, but after a slow start to the season before landing on IR, it was good to see a slightly more efficient Edwards move the ball well.

2 weeks agoLos Angeles Chargers running back
J.K. Dobbins didn't do all that much in a Week 10 win over the Tennessee Titans. Dobbins carried the ball 15 times, gaining 50 yards. He was targeted in the passing game three times, making all three catches but gaining a total of just five yards through the air.
Gus Edwards (ankle) returned from IR and took 10 carries of his own, eating into the workload of Dobbins. The Chargers were nursing a lead for most of the second half though, presumably in a closer game Dobbins will still be the top option in the backfield. That closer game could happen on Sunday Night Football in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

2 weeks 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.

2 weeks 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.

2 weeks 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.

2 weeks agoLos Angeles Chargers running back
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.

2 weeks 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.

2 weeks 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.

2 weeks 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.

2 weeks 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.

2 weeks 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.

2 weeks 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.
