Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Hayden Hurst (hip) was added to the Week 12 injury report on Friday and was listed as a limited practice participant. It's something to watch as the Chargers head into their final practice day of the week on Saturday. The 31-year-old won't be on the fantasy radar as a starting option if he's active on Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens, though, with
Will Dissly being the clear-cut top tight end receiving option for quarterback
Justin Herbert this year. Hurst has yet to find the end zone in his first season with the Bolts and only has seven reception (12 targets) for 65 yards in his seven games played. Fantasy managers should steer clear of Hurst as he faces his former team in primetime on Monday despite six teams being on bye in Week 12.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey (shoulder) returned to practice on Friday, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. This is a great sign, as McConkey was listed as a DNP during Thursday's initial session. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during Saturday's practice, as it will likely provide some clarity on his availability for Monday's game. McConkey sustained this injury during last Sunday's victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. In this game, the Georgia product posted a season-high 123 yards off six receptions. If McConkey can suit up on Monday, he should be viewed as a must-start option facing a Baltimore secondary that has allowed the most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Khalil Mack (groin) was listed as a limited participant for the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. Outside linebackers Joey Bosa (hip) and Bud Dupree (foot) and safety Derwin James Jr. (groin) were also limited. Meanwhile, linebacker Denzel Perryman (groin) was a DNP. Mack aggravated a groin injury in the Week 10 win over the Tennessee Titans and sat out of the Week 11 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. The fact that the 33-year-old pass-rusher is practicing in the first practice of the week could be a good sign that he will return to face the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. Even with Mack back, the Bolts' defense will have a big challenge on their hands against the reigning MVP in
Lamar Jackson and a potent Ravens offense. The three-time All-Pro hasn't been quite as good in 2024 as when he registered a career-high 17 sacks last year, as he has 4.5 sacks in nine games.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey (shoulder) did not practice during Thursday's session. The Georgia product sustained this shoulder injury during their victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday evening. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status throughout the week as he has two more opportunities to log a session before Monday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Last weekend, the rookie tallied a season-high 123 yards off six receptions. Since Week 8, McConkey has begun to find his footing at the professional level and has averaged a solid 87.5 yards per game in this stretch. If the 23-year-old can suit up, fantasy managers should start him in all formats, given his favorable matchup against the Ravens, who have allowed the most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman (groin) could be considered week-to-week after he was hurt in the Sunday night win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Perryman is getting second opinions on his groin this week and could be forced to miss the Monday night showdown against the Baltimore Ravens to close out Week 12 action. The Chargers won't have their first official practice of the week until Thursday, where it's likely Perryman will be listed as a DNP. Losing the 31-year-old veteran linebacker for a date against a high-octane offense like the Ravens would be a key blow to the Bolts' defense this week. In 10 games for the Chargers so far in 2024, Perryman has been productive with 54 tackles (38 solo) and one sack.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey (shoulder) was held out of Wednesday's practice, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN. The Georgia product sustained this injury in their victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday evening. In this game, the 23-year-old brought in six of his nine targets for a season-high 123 yards. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status throughout the week, as he could be in danger of missing Monday's game if he remains sidelined during the week. Since Week 8, the rookie has begun to find some consistency in the passing attack, as he has seen an average of 6.0 targets and 87.5 yards per game. If he can suit up in Week 12, fantasy managers should start him in all formats, as he will be facing the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed the most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

The Los Angeles Chargers defense struggled a bit but was able to do just enough in a 34-27 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. The Chargers recorded three sacks but allowed the 27 points, 21 of which came in the second quarter. It was a tale of two halves in this one, as the Bolts looked strong on defense in the first half and then fell apart and almost have up the game in the second. They ended up with negative two points in standard scoring defense leagues, and will have another tough matchup on Monday Night Football next week against the Baltimore Ravens.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker had an excellent game in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Dicker attempted two field goals and made them both and also added four extra points on his four tries. Dicker's first field goal came from 19 yards out at the end of the first half, and his second was a 53-yarder in the third quarter. He's remained consistent at one of fantasy football's least reliable positions, and should once again be a top-10 option next week against the Baltimore Ravens.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Joshua Palmer made two catches in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Palmer was targeted four times, making the two grabs for a total of 23 yards. Palmer has made two or fewer catches for four games in a row and has scored just one touchdown so far. He's playing a fairly important role in the "real life" Chargers offense, but it hasn't translated into any kind of consistent fantasy value and that's unlikely to change. Palmer and the Chargers will play on Monday Night Football in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston scored another touchdown in Week 11, his sixth of the season. Johnston was targeted eight times but only came down with two catches, totaling 48 yards. His touchdown came on a 26-yard pass from
Justin Herbert in the second quarter. Johnston has seen a lot of red zone and end zone targets this season and has really boosted his value by scoring touchdowns, but he hasn't been particularly efficient. Johnston has improved on the drop issues that plagued him in his rookie season, but he still has more work to do before he can consistently be relied upon as a WR2/3 option in fantasy football.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Will Dissly scored a touchdown in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Dissly was targeted six times and made four catches for 80 yards. His touchdown came on a 29-yard pass from
Justin Herbert near the end of the first quarter. Dissly has become much more heavily involved in the passing game lately, and he's quickly working his way into the lower-end TE1 conversation. He and the Bolts will take on the Baltimore Ravens next week on Monday Night Football.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey had a big game in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. McConkey ended up leading the team in targets, catches, and yards, making six catches on nine targets for 123 yards. The rookie ended up missing a few plays after being forced to leave with a shoulder injury, but he was back on the field soon after. He made some huge catches at the end of the fourth quarter that helped lead the Chargers to score a game winning touchdown with just 18 seconds left in the game. McConkey has clearly gotten comfortable with quarterback
Justin Herbert and is often the first read over the middle of the field. He should continue as a solid and reliable WR3 option most weeks.

Los Angeles Chargers running back
Gus Edwards tallied just six carries in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Edwards ran it the six times for a total of 27 yards with a long run of nine yards. He was not targeted in the passing game. Edwards settled in behind starter
J.K. Dobbins in a role that he'll likely fill for the rest of the season as long as everyone remains healthy. Edwards does not have much standalone value, but he could be an immediate fantasy starter if Dobbins were ever forced to miss any time.

Los Angeles Chargers running back
J.K. Dobbins scored two touchdowns in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Dobbins ran the ball 11 times, gaining 56 yards and scoring on the ground twice. He was only targeted once in the passing game and made the grab for a three-yard gain. Dobbins ran well in this one despite a usually strong Bengals run defense. His first touchdown was on a one-yard goal line plunge in the second quarter, and his second was a game-clincher in the fourth quarter that came on a 29-yard rush with 18 seconds left. Dobbins was once again in charge of this backfield despite only tallying 11 carries, as all other Chargers running backs combined for eight total carries. Dobbins will again be on the RB2 radar next week on Monday Night Football against the Ravens.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert had an up and down game in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Herbert was excellent in the first half before struggling in most of the second half but then turning it on for a game-winning drive at the end. In total, Herbert completed 17 of the 36 passes he attempted for 297 yards and two touchdowns. He did not throw an interception, but took two sacks and lost a fumble. On the ground, he added 65 yards on five carries, leading the team in rushing yards. The Chargers ended up with an important win, and will play again in eight days for Week 12's edition of Monday Night Football.
