Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Will Dissly (shoulder) did not participate in practice on Tuesday. This is now back-to-back missed practice sessions for Dissly who missed last week's game with a shoulder injury. At this rate, fantasy managers should expect Dissly to sit out of Thursday's game against the Denver Broncos. Fellow tight end
Hayden Hurst (hip) was designated to return from the injured reserve on Monday. Hurst practice in full on Tuesday, which gives him a chance to play on Thursday. Otherwise,
Stone Smartt figures to get another start after a five-catch outing on Sunday.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Will Dissly (shoulder) didn't suit up for Monday's practice session. It's worth noting that this just an estimated practice report, so it doesn't mean too much. Dissly suffered a shoulder injury in Week 14 and was expected to miss a few weeks. That being said, it's not shocking to see him missing practice time. There's a good chance that Dissly sits out in Week 16 considering it's a short week, so he'd need to get ready to play by Thursday.
Stone Smartt started in place of Dissly during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Smartt hauled in five of his six targets for 50 yards in the blowout loss. He could have some TE2 appeal for Week 16 if Dissly misses Thursday's game.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report. Herbert is dealing with an ankle issue, but was able to play through it during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He looked fine in the pocket, but the ankle issue clearly limited his running ability considering he had zero carries on Sunday. Nonetheless, Herbert figures to be fine for Thursday's Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The Chargers might limit Herbert in order to keep him fresh, but he should be out there unless he suffers a setback.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report. Fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into that because it basically means he didn't go through walkthrough. Johnston suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That being said, it wouldn't be shocking to see Johnston sit or be limited early in the week. However, the Chargers do have a short week with a matchup against the Denver Broncos on Thursday. The absence of Johnston would mean more targets for
Ladd McConkey and
Joshua Palmer during Thursday's Week 16 contest.

The Los Angeles Chargers defense got pushed around throughout the game but especially in the second half of a Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. The Bolts recorded one sack, one interception, and one fumble recovery but also allowed 40 points and 502 yards of offense. They came in as a top-12 ranked fantasy defense for the week but put up a disappointing negative four points in standard scoring leagues. They were on the field a bunch, especially in the second half as the Bolts offense forgot how to play football. A quick turnaround for a Thursday Night Football game against the Denver Broncos will make the Chargers defense a risky but upside potential option for Week 16.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker made all three of his kicks in a Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Dicker made two extra points and his lone field goal attempt from 41 yards out. It was a rough game for the Chargers offense in general, which limited Dicker's opportunities. Despite a quick turnaround to be ready for Week 16 against the Broncos on Thursday Night Football, Dicker should see more chances to kick and put up a better fantasy performance.

According to Tyler Dragon of USA Today, Los Angeles Chargers defensive back Cam Hart (concussion) was forced from Sunday's 40-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and did not return. Before leaving, the 24-year-old notched one tackle and one pass breakup. Hart sustained his injury in the final minute of the second quarter while defending a deep shot to Bucs' wideout
Mike Evans. It's undoubtedly a blow to the team as the rookie DB was starting for the Chargers and their third-leading snap-getter among defensive backs. With LA on a short week and a matchup against the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football, we'll unlikely see him clear the league's protocol expeditiously enough to be active for the game. However, crazier things have happened. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his status over the coming days.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Joshua Palmer didn't do much in a Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Palmer was targeted just three times, making two catches for 10 yards total. It was a rough game for the Chargers offense in general, but Palmer certainly didn't do anything to stand out. The Bolts have a quick rest before taking on the division-rival Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. Palmer should continue as a boom-or-bust type option without much upside.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston made five catches and scored a touchdown in a Week 15 blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Johnston led the team with 10 targets and tied for the team lead with the five catches. He totaled 45 yards and scored his second quarter touchdown on a 13-yard pass from
Justin Herbert. Johnston had several of his now-expected drops and caused Herbert to throw just his second interception of the season on a ball that he likely could and should have caught. He's a better fantasy receiver than a real life one, and as long as the Chargers keep feeding him passes, that should continue.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Stone Smartt made five catches in a Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Smartt was targeted six times and his five catches were tied for the team lead. He ended up gaining 51 yards including a long play of 31. Smartt was a popular waiver wire addition this week after Bolts starter
Will Dissly (shoulder) was confirmed out. With a quick turnaround ahead of Thursday Night Football coming up in Week 16, Smartt is expected to once again get the start at tight end and could have a similar game, putting him on the TE1/2 border.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) returned after missing one game and had a solid performance in a Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. McConkey was targeted seven times and made five catches for 58 yards and a touchdown. The rookie receiver had a big first half before the Chargers offense just fell apart completely after half time. Most importantly, McConkey seemed to make it through the game without making his injuries any worse. The Bolts have a quick turnaround as they'll take on the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football in just a few days.

December 15, 2024
Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back
Kimani Vidal wasn't very involved in a Week 15 blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Vidal ran the ball three times for nine total yards and was targeted three times in the passing game, making two catches for 13 yards. The Chargers only recorded 11 rushing attempts in the whole game as offensive coordinator Greg Roman seemingly gave up on anything but quarterback
Justin Herbert's arm. Vidal should have better games coming up as long as
Gus Edwards keeps running like he's in quicksand and
J.K. Dobbins (knee) remains on IR.

December 15, 2024
Los Angeles Chargers running back
Gus Edwards didn't do much in a Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Edwards ran the ball eight times, gaining 23 yards with a long gain of just eight. He was not targeted in the passing game. The Chargers essentially gave up on running the ball in the second half, but Edwards wasn't finding much room anyway. He remains a thoroughly touchdown-dependent fantasy option with very little upside.

Los Angeles Chargers offensive guard Zion Johnson (ankle) is questionable to return on Sunday versus the Bucs. The 25-year-old sustained an ankle injury. However, with the game presumably out of reach, he likely won't be back for the remainder of Week 15. Unfortunately, Johnson won't have much time to get healthy, considering the Chargers will meet the Broncos on Thursday night. The team certainly needs him out there, especially with
Justin Herbert taking a beating of late. But if he misses time, Jamaree Salyer is the only healthy guard on the roster behind Trey Pipkins III.
