Justin Herbert Throws A Touchdown In Tough Week 14 Loss
Justin Herbert threw a touchdown pass in a tough Week 14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Herbert and the Bolts offense did close to nothing in the first half but looked a lot stronger after halftime. Despite throwing to guys who would be depth pieces at best on most other teams, Herbert was still able to complete 21 of his 30 passes for 213 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. He was sacked three times, losing 19 yards, but added 12 yards on four carries. Herbert's touchdown was on a four-yard pass to Quentin Johnston near the end of the third quarter. The Chargers signal caller was forced to leave the game temporarily after taking a big hit, but he was back in and none the worse for wear soon after.Source: ESPN.com

Ladd McConkey Inactive Versus Kansas City
Ladd McConkey (shoulder, knee) won't play in Sunday night's meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. The wideout was labeled as a "true game-time decision." Unfortunately, the latest update just confirms what most fantasy managers had already anticipated. Without McConkey, who has had a quality rookie season, Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer are in line for more attention from Justin Herbert. Will Dissly should also get more involved.Source: Los Angeles Chargers
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey A True Game-Time Decision
Ladd McConkey (shoulder, knee) is considered a true game-time decision to play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. This development puts fantasy managers in a bind: McConkey is an effective WR2 option if he plays, but as the Sunday Night Football game, managers are out of runway if he's ruled out. Tight end Will Dissly has quickly vaulted to second on the team in targets, while receivers Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnson are low-volume options who could see a boost if McConkey doesn't play.Source: NFL Network
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Chargers Defense Looks To Stay On Track With Tough Week 14 Matchup
The Los Angeles Chargers defense will look to stay on track despite a tough Week 14 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. The Bolts defensive unit has been one of the best in the league in bothread more...
Cameron Dicker Looks For Another Good Game In Week 14
Cameron Dicker will look for another strong performance on Sunday Night Football in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Dicker has been solid and consistent in his sophomore season, much as he was his rookie year. He's finished as a top-15 fantasy kicker in nine of his 12 games, and a top-eight option six times. There's no reason to think he won't repeat a similar performance in what should be a close divisional clash.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Will Dissly Should Have A Nice Comeback In Week 14
Will Dissly is set up for a strong comeback game in a Week 14 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Dissly put up a whole entire zero points last week, but he'd been a solid and consistent tight end option for several weeks in a row before that. The best bet is likely to chalk up the zero as a fluke and trust Dissly for another solid week of production, especially against a Chiefs defense that has allowed the most receiving yards and the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Dissly is right on the TE1/2 border, with a high floor (despite last week's zero) and a decently high ceiling. Both floor and ceiling go up significantly if Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) is unable to play.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Joshua Palmer Could Have Some Value In Week 14
Joshua Palmer could have some fantasy value in a Week 14 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer hasn't done much this season, peaking with a WR22 finish in Week 9 and finishing as a top-36 option at his position only twice. But this week, with Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) questionable and possibly limited if he plays, Palmer could see a more important role in the passing game. The Chiefs defense is elite against running plays but has struggled against outside wide receivers, especially recently. If McConkey doesn't play, Palmer could be a deep league FLEX option.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston A Risky Play With Potential Upside In Week 14
Quentin Johnston is a risky option with some upside in a Week 14 Sunday Night Football game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnston has been plagued by drops once again in his sophomore season, and he also has a hard time getting open in the secondary, but with Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) questionable at best and possibly limited if he does play, Johnston could be the de facto WR1 for the Bolts against a Chiefs defense that has suddenly started struggling against opposing wide receivers. Johnston is a very risky WR4 option if McConkey plays, but he'd be boosted into the mid-range WR3 conversation if McConkey is forced to sit.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Hassan Haskins Should Maintain A Role In Week 14
Hassan Haskins should still have a role in a Week 14 game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Haskins has been in a depth role all season, but he ended up playing 45% of the team's offensive snaps in Week 12. He was in on 15% in Week 13, but seemed to be kept off the field for the most part after a fumble early on. Still, with J.K. Dobbins (knee) out and Gus Edwards looking like he may be out of gas as a runner, Haskins could find himself with some red zone work. He's a low-ceiling, low-floor dart throw, but worth at least keeping an eye on in some deep leagues.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal Could See His Role Grow In Week 14
Kimani Vidal could see his role grow in a Week 14 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Vidal played behind Gus Edwards in Week 13 with J.K. Dobbins (knee) on IR, but Edwards has been ineffective all season while Vidal has shown some solid burst and strength. This could be the week that Vidal takes over as lead back, and that would clearly come with significant fantasy potential, but it's impossible to know for certain what the distribution of snaps and touches will be. Either way, it's a tough matchup as the Chiefs defense has been elite against opposing running backs. Vidal should be rostered in most formats by now, but another week on the bench is likely the safe option.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Gus Edwards Not A Good Option In Week 14 Despite A Nominal Starting Role
Gus Edwards is not a strong fantasy option in Week 14 despite at least nominally being the leader of the LA backfield. Edwards led the Chargers in Week 13 by being on the field for 52% of the offensive snaps, including 64% of the rushing plays, but he did not see a single snap in the red zone and has always been a non-factor in the passing game. Despite leading the backfield in plays, Edwards totaled just 33 total yards on seven touches. He may once again lead the backfield in Week 14, but the Chiefs elite run defense combined with the presence of Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal also in the backfield makes Edwards close to a must-sit outside of the deepest leagues.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Herbert Could Bounce Back In Week 14
Justin Herbert has a good chance for a bounce back performance in a Week 14 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. When the two teams faced off earlier this season, Herbert only put up 11.2 fantasy points, finishing as the week's QB22. The Chargers have a much different offense now, though, and the Chiefs seemingly have a different defense as well. While the Chargers throwing the ball more, the Chiefs secondary has struggled a bit and allowed the eighth-most pass touchdowns since Week 8. Herbert had a down game last week (partly because the Chargers defense dominated the game), but he's in a good spot to return to a top-12 fantasy performance on this week's Sunday Night Football.Source: RotoBaller
