Injury Status: Healthy
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Charlie Kolar returned from a fractured forearm to lead the team with 37 receiving yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Denver Broncos, although his performance wasn't without problems. Kolar caught three of four targets, but lost a fumble following a 19-yard reception on Los Angeles' opening possession that helped set up Denver's first touchdown. The veteran has now caught six passes for 58 yards without a touchdown across three appearances this season. His increased involvement came with Quentin Johnston (chest) and Brenen Thompson (quadriceps) sidelined, leaving the Chargers short on receiving options. David Njoku remains on injured reserve, although Oronde Gadsden II continues to compete for playing time, and Hayden Rucci caught the team's lone passing touchdown against Denver. Kolar has an opportunity to build on Sunday's production against Kansas City in Week 6, but his limited receiving history makes him difficult to trust. Rostered in just 1% of leagues, he's an emergency streaming consideration in 14-team formats, particularly with the Chargers heading into their Week 7 bye.

Los Angeles Chargers Tight end Charlie Kolar is laying the foundation to be the team's starting tight end after a successful training camp. The 27-year-old saw limited playing time in 2025 since he was behind Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely on the Baltimore Ravens' depth chart, but still caught 10 of 15 targets over 17 regular-season games. The competition is different this time for Kolar, who caught his lone target from Justin Herbert in a 41-17 preseason loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Even with veteran David Njoku joining the team as a well-known receiving threat, Kolar is the best run-blocker in a tight end corps, giving the edge in this room. That includes second-year player Oronde Gadsden, who played 20 snaps in LA's preseason opener while Kolar sat with the starters. Kolar is a TE2 with upside and the ability to outperform his ADP, making him a sneaky late-round pick in deep leagues.less...
