Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
D.J. Chark scored a touchdown in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Chark was targeted three times, making his only catch for a six-yard touchdown at the end of the second quarter. It was Chark's only touchdown of the season, as he ended up making just four catches this season. He missed some time due to injury, but even when healthy he was unable to move up the Chargers wide receiver depth chart. He likely won't be a factor when the playoffs start for the Bolts on Saturday against the Houston Texans.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Will Dissly scored a touchdown in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Dissly was targeted six times, making five catches for 42 yards. His touchdown came on a two-yard pass from
Justin Herbert near the beginning of the fourth quarter. Dissly ended up second on the team in catches and third in targets.
Stone Smartt, who had been splitting tight end work with Dissly, finished the game without a single target. Dissly should remain the top tight end option for the Bolts on Saturday when they face the Texans in the first round of the playoffs.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey made five more catches to close out the regular season in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. McConkey was targeted eight times, making the five catches for 95 yards. He made a big play with a 47-yard gain and remained a key part of the Chargers passing game. In this one, however,
Quentin Johnston (13 catches for 186 yards) was the focal point. The Bolts will take on the Houston Texans on Saturday in the first round of the playoffs.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston had a career game in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Johnston led the team in targets, catches, and yards, all by a significant margin. He was targeted 14 times, making 13 catches for 186 yards. It was the second 100+ yard game of his career. He was the focal point of the offense, as no other Charger made more than five catches. It was an excellent game for "QJ" and he'll look to keep the momentum going on Saturday when the Bolts face the Houston Texans in the first round of the playoffs.

Los Angeles Chargers running back
Hassan Haskins scored a touchdown in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Haskins ran the ball 12 times, gaining 33 yards. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. His touchdown came on a two-yard run near the end of the fourth quarter. With the Chargers mostly in control of the game late, Haskins was able to get some more run while starter
J.K. Dobbins, who got 18 carries, was able to rest. The Chargers next game will be a Wild Card playoff matchup against the Houston Texans, where Haskins is unlikely to repeat his dozen carries.

Los Angeles Chargers running back
J.K. Dobbins had an average game in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Dobbins went up against a tough Raiders run defense and carried the ball 18 times, gaining 63 yards with a long of 10. He was also targeted three times in the passing game, coming up with three catches for 12 yards. Dobbins couldn't find a ton of room to run, and the Chargers gave backup
Hassan Haskins a dozen carries likely to keep Dobbins fresh for next week's playoff opener against the Houston Texans.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert had a big game to close out the regular season in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Herbert completed 28 of his 36 pass attempts for 346 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 42 yards on the ground on four carries. Herbert had a long run of 41 yards that almost ended in a touchdown but was able to make one of his two touchdown passes right after to score the six points. That touchdown went to
Will Dissly, and his other one went to
D.J. Chark. Herbert took only one sack, losing 10 yards on the play. He and the Bolts will face the Texans on Saturday in the Wild Card Round.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Derius Davis hasn't done much this season, but has finally been more involved over the last two weeks. Davis has four receptions for 60 yards and a pair of touchdowns over his last two games. He'll look to extend his touchdown-streak against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 18. The 24-year-old normally isn't much of an option, but could see more targets with
Joshua Palmer (foot) sidelined. Despite that,
Ladd McConkey and
Quentin Johnston remain ahead of Davis on the pecking order. Davis isn't anything more than a touchdown-dependent option for Week 18.

The Los Angeles Chargers defense is a strong option in Week 18 fantasy lineups as they will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in the regular-season finale. The Chargers are coming off an excellent Week 17 performance in which they allowed just seven points and put up 10 fantasy points against the New England Patriots. The Raiders are another good matchup for opposing defenses, putting the Chargers easily in the top-five of expected fantasy defensive units for the season's final weekend.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker is a strong choice for Week 18 fantasy lineups when the Chargers take on the Las Vegas Raiders. Dicker has been one of the league's most consistent and reliable kickers all season and should remain that way in the regular season finale. While most of the Chargers starters are in a holding pattern awaiting the results of Saturday's Bengals-Steelers game, Dicker is one Charger fantasy asset who will be a top-10 option at his position regardless of the result of any other matchup.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Will Dissly doesn't have much upside in a Week 18 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Dissly will share snaps with
Stone Smartt and possibly also with
Hayden Hurst in a game that could see a lot of Chargers starters getting some rest. Dissly would seemingly have the highest floor of the three Bolts tight ends, but he's still in the middle of TE2 rankings at best.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Stone Smartt is a non-zero floor option without much upside in a Week 18 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Smartt and
Will Dissly will likely once again split time, with
Hayden Hurst possibly mixing in at the position as well. Smartt might have the most upside of the three Chargers tight ends, but he's still a mid-range TE2 at best.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston is a decent option for Week 18 fantasy lineups. Whether or not the Chargers will play to win on Sunday depends on the results of Saturday's Bengals-Steelers game, but Johnston is likely to play regardless. With
Josh Palmer (foot) already ruled out and
Ladd McConkey potentially getting some rest before the playoffs, "QJ" could be the lead receiver for the Chargers for at least part of this game. He has some touchdown upside and a decently high floor as well.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey is off the injury report and good to go for a Week 18 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. McConkey showed up on the report with a toe injury this week, missing practice on Wednesday. He was able to get in a limited session on Thursday and then a full session on Friday before being removed from the injury report heading into the weekend. With
Josh Palmer (foot) out, McConkey could see even more targets than usual if the Chargers are going full bore in this game. That will depend on the results of Saturday's Bengals-Steelers game. If the Bengals win, the Chargers will earn the No. 5 seed with a win against the Raiders. If the Steelers win, the Chargers will be locked into the No. 6 seed regardless of the results of their own game. If the Bengals win, McConkey is a high-end WR2 with a clear top-10 ceiling.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back
Kimani Vidal could potentially take a starting role in a Week 18 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Much about the Bolts lineup depends on the results of Saturday's Bengals-Steelers game. If the Bengals win, the Chargers will likely play all of their starters as they could move up to the No. 5 seed in the playoffs with a win over the Raiders. If the Steelers win, however, Los Angeles would be locked into the No. 6 seed regardless of the results of their own game. Vidal is likely to start while
J.K. Dobbins rests if the Steelers win, but Dobbins will almost certainly resume his (almost) every-down role if the Bolts are playing for a win. If Vidal starts, he could be a volume-based RB2 even though the Raiders defense has been solid against opposing running backs. Fantasy managers will need to keep an eye on Saturday's results before finalizing their lineups.
