Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston only caught two of eight targets but managed to turn them into 48 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
Huddle Up: Johnston did all of his work on the Chargers' third drive of the evening, catching a 22-yard pass to begin the possession before capping it off on a 26-yard touchdown grab three plays later. It is hard for fantasy managers to get excited over such an inefficient performance, but it is clear from how often he is scoring touchdowns that he is a trusted part of the passing attack. Johnston should be considered a capable WR3 option in Week 12 against a Baltimore Ravens defense that has been scorched by receivers for most of 2024.

Los Angeles Chargers TE Will Dissly hauled in four of his six targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Huddle Up: It was not hard to predict Dissly having a big game in this one against a Cincinnati defense that has been pummeled by tight ends for over a month, but he surprised with his yardage total (one off his season high) and scored his first touchdown of the season. Dissly is getting enough volume and playing time over the last month to be considered a capable starting option in fantasy, including against a Baltimore Ravens defense in Week 12 that has allowed more tight end receptions than any team in the league.

Los Angeles Chargers RB Gus Edwards ran for 27 yards on six carries and was not targeted in the passing game in Week 11 versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
Huddle Up: Edwards was a popular target on the waiver wire this week after rushing for 55 yards on 10 carries in Week 10 following a long IR stint, but he returned to being J.K. Dobbins' caddy in this one. Since he rarely sees work in the passing game, last week and this week seemingly represent the ceiling and floor of what Edwards does when he fails to score a touchdown, which he has yet to do this season. Consider Edwards a low-end flex option at best in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Los Angeles Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins posted 11 rushing attempts for 56 yards and two touchdowns in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and he had a 3-yard catch on his lone target.
Huddle Up: Dobbins has rushed for 50 or more yards in four straight games, and he has eight rushing touchdowns across 10 games this season. He is a solid RB2 or flex fantasy option in most leagues heading into Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens, his former team.

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert completed 17-of-36 passes for 297 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and he ran for a team-high 65 yards on five attempts but lost a fumble.
Huddle Up: Herbert finally looks to be 100 percent healthy after some lower-body injuries and plantar fasciitis earlier in the season. He is back as a low-end QB1 in most fantasy leagues. The Chargers host the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night in Week 12, and it's a pretty favorable matchup for the pass thrower.

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (shoulder) was able to return and finish the Week 11 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He posted six receptions for 123 yards on nine targets.
Huddle Up: McConkey missed a decent chunk of the second half after being hit near the sidelines. He was checked out, and eventually re-entered the game, while posting a huge catch in the two-minute drill to set up the game-winning touchdown. It appears he'll be good to go for Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football.

Los Angeles Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (personal) practiced in full on Friday, Nov. 15, after not taking part the day before and was removed from the Week 11 injury report.
Huddle Up: Dobbins missed practice on Thursday due to a personal issue but was back at it on Friday, so he's ready to roll. Dobbins was quiet last week but has been a consistent producer all season long. He enters Week 11 as an RB2 play.
Posted 11/14/2024 10:46 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 14.
Huddle Up: Edwards returned to the lineup last week and should be on the field against the Cincinnati Bengals. He will see a decent amount of carries during the game and can be a possible flex option in most leagues.
Posted 11/14/2024 10:38 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (non-injury) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 14.
Huddle Up: Dobbins had a decent outing last week but has at least one rushing touchdown in three of his last five games. He will be sharing playing time with Gus Edwards moving forward but can still be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/14/2024 12:33 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Huddle Up: Edwards returned to the lineup last week and finished with 55 rushing yards on 10 carries. He likely will see a similar workload this week if he is cleared to play and can be a possible flex option in deeper leagues.
Posted 11/11/2024 7:05 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers TE Will Dissly finished with a team-high five catches on six targets for 30 yards in Week 10 versus the Tennessee Titans.
Huddle Up: Dissly has been a serviceable fantasy tight end in PPR leagues for most of the last month with at least five grabs in three of his last four outings. He is not doing much yardage-wise, but desperate fantasy managers will typically take volume at tight end when they can get it. Dissly is best left for managers in tight end premium leagues, and that should remain the case again in Week 11 versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
Posted 11/11/2024 2:34 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston caught two passes for 24 yards and a touchdown in a 27-17 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 10.
Huddle Up: Johnston hauled in his fifth touchdown of the season, but he has only topped 50 receiving yards twice. He is a touchdown-dependent lottery ticket in any fantasy format.
Posted 11/11/2024 2:32 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey caught both of his targets for a team-high 52 yards in a 27-17 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 10.
Huddle Up: McConkey continues to be the most productive receiver for the Chargers, but that hasn't always amounted to much in their run-heavy offense. At best, he is a flex play.
Posted 11/11/2024 2:29 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) returned from a four-game absence and rushed 10 times for 55 yards in a 27-17 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 10.
Huddle Up: Edwards was efficient with his 10 carries, and he finished with just five fewer carries than J.K. Dobbins. Keep an eye on how the Chargers distribute carries going forward, and there is a chance that Edwards could see enough work to be a flex option.
Posted 11/10/2024 7:24 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) is officially active for the Week 10 game.
Huddle Up: Edwards likely will see limited carries behind J.K. Dobbins this week and probably can be avoided in most fantasy leagues for the time being.
Posted 11/08/2024 10:44 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (rest) practiced in full on Friday, Nov. 8, after not taking part the day before and was removed from the Week 10 injury report.
Huddle Up: Dobbins got a rest day on Thursday before returning to a full practice on Friday. He's an RB2 play entering Week 10.
Posted 11/07/2024 10:52 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (rest) did not take part in practice on Thursday, Nov. 7.
Huddle Up: It's just a rest day for Dobbins, so no concern here. He's a solid RB2 play in Week 10.
Posted 11/07/2024 6:09 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) was designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list on Wednesday, Nov. 6. He was listed as limited in practice.
Huddle Up: Edwards, who actually signed a bigger contract than JK Dobbins during the offseason, opened the year platooning with Dobbins, but that didn't last, and after logging 29 carries in the first two games he had just nine in the next two before sustaining an ankle injury that landed him on IR. The team has 21 days to activate Edwards. Once they do, he becomes a nice handcuff for Dobbins owners. As a standalone option, however, he carries little value.

Los Angeles Chargers TE Will Dissly ended up with two receptions for just nine yards on three targets in Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns.
Huddle Up: Dissly had managed four or more receptions in each of his past three games, with 148 yards in the span. He looked to be emerging as a respectable TE2 in PPR fantasy leagues, but took a giant step back in Cleveland. The Chargers host the Tennessee Titans in Week 10.
Posted 11/03/2024 8:29 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer ended up with two receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown on four targets in Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns.
Huddle Up: Palmer has 63 or more receiving yards in each of his past three games, but the touchdown was his first of the season. He should be treated more as a WR4 or flex fantasy option in leagues of 12 or more teams. The Chargers host the Tennessee Titans in Week 10.
Posted 11/03/2024 8:25 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey ended up with five receptions for 64 yards on a team-high seven targets in Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns.
Huddle Up: McConley has managed five or more receptions in three straight games, and four or more catches in five in a row. He also has 175 receiving yards and two scores in the past two games, easily his most productive two-game stretch of his rookie campaign. He can be trusted as a solid WR2 fantasy option in PPR leagues heading into Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans.
Posted 11/03/2024 8:20 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston registered four receptions for a game-best 118 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns.
Huddle Up: Q-Money recorded his first-ever 100-yard game, and he now has four touchdowns across the past five outings. He entered with just 31 yards on four receptions in his past two games, so he isn't quite there as a reliable fantasy starter. But, this is a situation worth watching closely, as the 23-year-old receiver has WR2 fantasy ability. If Justin Herbert starts dialing him up a little more on the regular, Johnston could really help fantasy managers in the second of the season. The Chargers host the Tennessee Titans in Week 10.
Posted 11/03/2024 8:16 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins rushed 14 times for 85 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns, and he added two receptions for 20 yards on his two targets.
Huddle Up: Dobbins had his most rushing yards since going for 96 yards in Week 5. He has three rushing scores in the past two games, and six total scores in eight games this season. Dobbins can be relied upon as a solid low-end RB1 in most leagues heading into the Tennessee Titans in Week 10.
Posted 11/03/2024 8:11 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert completed 18-of-27 passes for 282 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns. He also ran three times for just two yards.
Huddle Up: Herbert has back-to-back games with multiple touchdown strikes for the first time this season, and he has 279 or more passing yards in three straight outings. He'll look to keep up the good work against the Tennessee Titans in Week 10. He is close to making it back to low-end QB1 fantasy status after a rough start.
Posted 11/01/2024 8:25 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (hip) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 1, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.
Huddle Up: McConkey is coming off a two-touchdown performance last week and should still be a big part of the passing game even with Quentin Johnston returning to the lineup. He can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/01/2024 8:23 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 1, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.
Huddle Up: Johnston was a big part of the passing game before the injury and should see a handful of targets this week against the Cleveland Browns. He can be a possible flex option in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/01/2024 12:47 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (hip) fully participated in practice Thursday, Oct. 31.
Huddle Up: McConkey was a big part of the passing game last week and should see a good amount of targets again this week. He can be considered at least a flex option in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/01/2024 12:43 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Oct. 31.
Huddle Up: Johnston appears to be on track to return to the lineup this week after missing some time because of the injury. He was playing well before the injury and should see a handful of targets this week. He can be at least a flex option in most fantasy leagues.
