Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker had an exciting and productive game in a Week 16 win over the Denver Broncos. Dicker made all four of his kicks, including an extremely rare fair catch free kick field goal from 57 yards out to end the first half. Dicker made both of his extra point tries, the 57-yarder, and added a 37-yard kick as well. The Bolts went for two on two of their touchdowns which limited Dicker's opportunities, but he was still nails every time he was called upon. He should remain one of the league's most consistent kickers in Week 17 as the Chargers will face the Patriots on Saturday.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston played an insignificant role in a Thursday Night Football win over the Denver Broncos in Week 16. Johnston tied for the team lead with six targets but made just three catches for a total of 18 yards. The biggest play of the game for Johnston was a dropped pass when he was absolutely wide open and given a perfect pass from his quarterback
Justin Herbert. The same drop issues that plagued him throughout his rookie year clearly remain this season despite marked improvement in his overall game. He'll look to bounce back rather than have the ball bounce off his hands in Week 17 against the New England Patriots.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Derius Davis scored a key touchdown in a Week 16 win over the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. Davis appeared to be much more involved in this game, recording one carry and two targets, but shuffling around in the backfield several more times throughout the game. Davis scored his touchdown on a perfect 19-yard pass from
Justin Herbert in the fourth quarter. In total, he lost three yards on the ground with his one rush but gained 31 yards through the air with his two catches. Davis was an important part of the Chargers win but is unlikely to develop much fantasy value for the remainder of the season.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Stone Smartt made three catches on three targets in a Week 16 win over the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. Smartt got another start with
Will Dissly (shoulder) still unavailable. The Bolts did activate tight end
Hayden Hurst before this game, but Smartt was still the clear starter at the position. With his three catches, Smartt gained 37 yards with a long gain of 19. He's been a solid contributor since joining the starting lineup and should continue as a solid TE2 option as long as Dissly remains out.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Joshua Palmer made three catches in a Week 16 win over the Denver Broncos. Palmer tied for the team lead in targets with six, making his three catches for 41 yards. He also made an incredible catch to score on a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter. Palmer made some solid plays in this game and remains an important part of the Chargers offense on the field, but it just isn't translating to fantasy value. He and the Bolts will face the Patriots on Saturday in Week 17.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey led the Chargers in catches again in a Week 16 win, making six catches on six targets for 87 yards. McConkey made some huge catches in this one and got some solid yardage after the catch as well. His long play was a 27-yard gain on his first target of the game. Quarterback
Justin Herbert ended up targeting 10 different pass catchers in this game, but McConkey still remained the clear first look on most plays. The Bolts spreading the ball around so much limits McConkey's counting stats, but he's still a solid WR2 with a high floor week in and week out.

Los Angeles Chargers running back
Hassan Haskins scored a touchdown in a Week 16 win over the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. Haskins did not record a rushing attempt, but he was targeted twice in the passing game, making two catches for a total of 39 yards. His touchdown came on a shovel pass from quarterback
Justin Herbert that turned into a 34-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Haskins will continue playing an important role on the real life Chargers, but he's unlikely to do much in fantasy leagues despite his exciting play in this game.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back
Kimani Vidal ran the ball five times in a Week 16 win over the Denver Broncos, gaining 24 yards. He was not targeted in the passing game. Most of Vidal's yards in this game came on a big 19-yard run. He spent some time as the lead back while
Gus Edwards was tended to on the sidelines due to an injury, but when Edwards was healthy he was the clear lead back for the Bolts. That will likely continue next week when the Chargers face the Patriots on Saturday in Week 17.

Los Angeles Chargers running back
Gus Edwards scored two touchdowns in a Thursday Night Football win over the Denver Broncos. Edwards ran the ball 14 times for 68 yards and added one catch on two targets for three more yards. It was the best Edwards has looked in a long time, as he ripped off a huge 43-yard run that completely changed the game's momentum in the Chargers' favor. Edwards first touchdown came on a one-yard goal line plunge in the first quarter and his second was on a five-yard run in the third. He did miss some time in the middle of the game with an injury, but was able to come back and actually looked better after his return that before he went to the sideline. This was by far the best game of the season for Edwards, who will get some extra rest before facing the New England Patriots on Saturday in Week 17.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert played well in a 34-27 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 16. Herbert was decent in the first half and then really turned it on in the second half. In total, he completed 23 of his 31 passes for 284 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Herbert also added 28 yards on the ground on eight carries despite clearly not being 100% with his wrapped up ankle. Herbert completed passes to 10 different receivers and threw his touchdowns to
Hassan Haskins and
Derius Davis. The Chargers will have a little extra time to rest and heal and will take on the New England Patriots in Week 17.

The Los Angeles Chargers defense will look to rebound from their worst performance of the season in a Week 16 Thursday Night Football game against the Denver Broncos. The Chargers had not allowed any team to score 30 points heading into Week 15, but the Tampa Bay Bucs poured 40 on them and looked to have an easy time doing it. A short week after a blowout loss is never ideal, but the Chargers should have a bit of a chip on the defensive shoulders, especially against a division rival like the Broncos. Week 15's performance did cast a little doubt on the Bolts defensive unit, but they should still be a top-10 option for Week 16 with a much better matchup.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker is set to have another solid performance in a Week 16 Thursday Night Football game against the Denver Broncos. Dicker is the fourth ranked fantasy kicker so far this season, he's made 29 of his 31 field goal tries and 25 of his 28 extra point attempts. Last week, he made all three of his kicks and hasn't missed an attempt since Week 9. In what should be a close game against a strong defense, "Dicker the Kicker" could see several chances to put his team on the board. He's a top-10 option at the position this and most weeks.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Stone Smartt is set for another start in a Week 16 Thursday Night Football matchup against the Denver Broncos. Smartt has taken over the starting tight end role with
Will Dissly (shoulder) and
Hayden Hurst (hip) both forced to miss time. Last week, Smartt caught five passes for 50 yards. He's a solid TE2 with a decent floor and clearly has quarterback
Justin Herbert's trust despite his somewhat recent insertion into the starting lineup.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Joshua Palmer is an underwhelming option in Week 16 fantasy lineups. Palmer has been playing an important role on the real life Chargers offense, but it has barely turned into any fantasy points for the 25-year-old pass catcher. He's peaked at 13.3 fantasy points but has scored single digit points in all but two of his games. This week he will face a strong Denver Broncos secondary on Thursday Night Football, and while the Bolts always seem to have a play or two drawn up for a long pass to Palmer, he's been far too inconsistent and comes into every game with a very low floor.
