Impending free-agent RB Gus Edwards (Ravens) agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers Monday, March 11, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: It seems like Edwards likely will compete for the starting job this season depending on what the team does at the position. He has played under offensive coordinator Greg Roman before and could be a No. 2 fantasy back in most fantasy leagues if he is the main back.

Baltimore Ravens impending free-agent RB Gus Edwards would be a fit with the Indianapolis Colts, in the opinion of Colts beat writer Nate Atkins. Edwards could serve as the short-yardage and receiving back to take some of the load off of RB Jonathan Taylor.
Huddle Up: Edwards, 29, has been super useful in a pinch when injuries arise, and he had 15 total touchdowns in 2023. His landing spot and role will dictate his fantasy value, but he could be anywhere from a low-end RB2 to a low-end RB3.

Baltimore Ravens impending free-agent RB J.K. Dobbins and RB Gus Edwards are expected to talk with the Ravens about possible new contracts, and general manager Eric DeCosta said the team would like to keep both players.
Huddle Up: Dobbins and Edwards have been the main backs for the Ravens over the last few seasons, but it is not known if either player will return to the team. Both Dobbins and Edwards likely will be part of a committee with a team next season and likely will have some fantasy value.

Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman said the team will be looking for a better running game next season, which should help QB Justin Herbert's play.
Huddle Up: The Chargers may have a new starting running back next season, so fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation during the offseason. Herbert will continue to be a No. 1 fantasy quarterback and could see a increase in his value if he has more time to throw the ball.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston believes he's "due for a breakout" in 2024, he told reporters on Wednesday, Jan. 31.
Huddle Up: The No. 21 overall pick in 2023, Johnston had a quiet rookie season and failed to do much, even when both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams were out of the lineup. However, he was forced to catch passes from Easton Stick down the stretch, which certainly didn't help matters. His ability to have a breakout year in 2024 will depend on what happens with Allen and Williams, both of whom are cut candidates. If both stay, their presence will almost certainly hinder his production, assuming they can stay healthy, something Williams has been incapable of doing. If one or both leave, Johnston could become the No. 2 option, at worst, for star quarterback Justin Herbert. As things stand now, Johnston should be held in dynasty formats but he's nothing more than a late-round dart throw in re-draft leagues until one of the aforementioned veterans are cut loose.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer (concussion) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 5, and is not on the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Palmer should be in uniform as long as he is cleared by the doctors and likely will be the main option in the passing game. He can be a flex option in most fantasy leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer (concussion) was limited at practice once again on Thursday, Jan. 4.
Huddle Up: Palmer has been a flex option when healthy and that will be the case once again this week if he plays, as Keenan Allen (heel) looks set to sit once again. However, Palmer remains in the concussion protocol and will have to get cleared before Sunday. If he sits, Jalen Guyton and Quentin Johnston will be the top remaining options, but neither can be trusted in lineups.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer (concussion) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 3.
Huddle Up: Palmer will need to pass his concussions tests over the next few days in order to play, but he likely will have a big role in the passing game if cleared. He could be at least a flex option in leagues if active for the game.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer (concussion) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 17 versus the Denver Broncos.
Huddle Up: This doesn't come as a huge surprise as concussions usually cause players to miss at least one game. With Keenan Allen (heel) also ruled out, Austin Ekeler, Quentin Johnston and Gerald Everett should be plenty busy against the Broncos.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer (concussion) did not take part in practice for the second consecutive day on Thursday, Dec. 28.
Huddle Up: Palmer is on track to sit, as is veteran wideout Keenan Allen (heel). That leaves Jalen Guyton and Quentin Johnston as the top-two options at the position, but only Johnston is remotely viable. Even still, the rookie is a desperation flex play, at best.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 27.
Huddle Up: Palmer will need to pass his concussion tests before he can play, so fantasy players should check on his status later in the week. He was playing well over the last few weeks and can be a starting option in leagues if he is cleared to play.

Baltimore Ravens RB Gus Edwards rushed 16 times for 58 yards and a touchdown in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, while adding an 11-yard reception on his only target.
Huddle Up: Edwards scored his 11th rushing touchdown of the season, and he had 16 carries, which was his most since Oct. 29. With Keaton Mitchell carted off with a knee injury, the Gus Bus could be restarted for the fantasy playoffs, with he and Justice Hill getting the bulk of the backfield work if Mitchell is forced to miss time.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston caught two passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in LA's 63-21 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, Dec. 14. He was targeted three times.
Huddle Up: The rookie has seen a bit of an uptick in his production recently, including a career-high 91 yards in Week 14, and he scored his second touchdown of the season Thursday night. While his numbers still aren't great, Johnston at least looks like someone that might produce in the right situation over the final three games.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer caught all four of his targeted passes for 113 yards, which included a 79-yard touchdown, against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15.
Huddle Up: With Keenan Allen (heel) joining Mike Williams (knee) on the sidelines, Palmer was LA's most-targeted receiver on Thursday night. It's anyone's guess how the Chargers will handle these last three games, but Palmer should fill a significant role. He has flex value and could even be a WR3 if things shake out.

Los Angeles Chargers RB Isaiah Spiller carried the ball 16 times for 50 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, Dec. 14.
Huddle Up: With the Chargers getting blown out of the water Thursday night, Spiller got most of the carries. While it's possible he could leapfrog Joshua Kelley, who lost a fumble in the first quarter, on the depth chart, he'd only ascend to fantasy relevance if Austin Ekeler misses time.

Los Angeles Chargers RB Joshua Kelley had 22 yards on five carries against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15. He had a six-yard reception and also lost a fumble.

Los Angeles Chargers QB Easton Stick completed 23 of his 32 passes for 257 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception in a blowout loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, Dec. 14. Stick also ran for 11 yards and lost a pair of fumbles.
Huddle Up: All you need to know about Stick's three-touchdown performance is that the first of those TDs came with the Chargers trailing, 49-0, and the second came with them down, 63-7. While you certainly cannot pin all of LA's troubles on Stick, he did next to nothing until the game was completely out of hand. With LA's three remaining games all against playoff contenders, there's no reason to consider Stick unless you want to bank on extended garbage-time numbers bailing you out.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer (knee) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Dec. 13, and is not on the injury report for Week 15. The Chargers did not hold a practice Wednesday, so his practice participation is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Palmer is on track to return to the lineup and should be a big part of the passing game with Keenan Allen unavailable. He will be working with a new quarterback but could be a possible flex option in some leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer (knee) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list on Tuesday, Dec. 12.
Huddle Up: The Chargers' run of bad luck continues, as Palmer returns just as Justin Herbert goes on IR. The presence of Palmer should be a boon to the offense, but his return means much less with Easton Stick under center than it would if Herbert was still healthy. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can probably consider Palmer a WR4/flex option with Stick, but there is unlikely to be much upside in this offense for the rest of the 2023 season.

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (finger) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list with a broken right index finger on Tuesday, Dec. 12.
Huddle Up: Easton Stick will replace Herbert as the starter, as he did in Week 14. Max Duggan will back him up. With Herbert done for the year, it is fair to wonder if the Chargers will be conservative in their usage of their other offensive stars down the stretch. For example, it makes little sense to ask Keenan Allen to continue to push through his injuries when he is working with a backup quarterback and the team has little to play for - other than worsening their draft position next spring.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer (knee) fully participated in practice Monday, Dec. 11. The Chargers did not hold a practice Monday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Palmer seems to have to chance to be activated from the Reserve/Injured list and be available for the Week 15 game. He will see a few targets if he plays but probably is not a starting fantasy option at this point.

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (finger) is likely out for Week 15 Thursday, Dec. 14.
Huddle Up: Easton Stick went 13-for-24 for 179 yards, no TDs and no INTs after Herbert went down. He'll be a middling QB2 against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday night. Hold on to Herbert because there's a chance he could return this season.

Los Angeles Chargers QB Easton Stick completed 13-of-24 passes for 179 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions with a lost fumble in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos, coming on in the second half for the injured QB Justin Herbert (finger).
Huddle Up: It appears Stick will be called upon for his first NFL start in Week 15 on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders with a quick turnaround on Thursday. Herbert has a fractured index finger on his throwing hand, and he'll be out indefinitely. Stick is only worth a look in the deepest of fantasy leagues which start two signal callers.
