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.

Per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Ladd McConkey (shoulder) has returned to the team's outing against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football. McConkey got shaken up a bit after hauling in a 20-yard pass, but after a brief exit to the locker room, he was able to return to the field. He should slot back in as a top-two option for quarterback
Justin Herbert.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Ladd McConkey (shoulder) was forced from Sunday's contest against the Cincinnati Bengals and is questionable to return. The rookie wideout caught a 20-yard pass on the Chargers' second drive of the game but was pushed out of bounds hard and was immediately seen writhing in pain after the play. Before his exit, he caught his sole target. If McConkey does not return, wide receivers
Quentin Johnston and
Joshua Palmer and tight end
Will Dissly are projected to benefit the most from his absence in LA's passing attack.

DJ Chark and tight end
Hayden Hurst won't play in Sunday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Both players are healthy. However, with receivers
Joshua Palmer,
Quentin Johnston,
Ladd McConkey, and tight end
Will Dissly all active, the move was made to give Hurst and Chark the night off. But considering Hurst has only seven catches and Chark doesn't have any this season, their absences won't have much of an impact on fantasy managers.

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack (groin) won't play in Sunday night's matchup versus the Cincinnati Bengals. The 33-year-old didn't practice on Friday and was listed as questionable heading into Week 11. While Mack isn't nearly as productive as he was last season, it's still a tough blow for the Chargers, especially with a challenging matchup on the horizon against
Joe Burrow,
Ja'Marr Chase, and
Tee Higgins.

Los Angeles Chargers running back
Gus Edwards (ankle) returned to a full practice on Friday and was removed from the final Week 11 injury report, so he will be available this Sunday night to face the visiting Cincinnati Bengals. Edwards returned in the Week 10 win over the Tennessee Titans last Sunday after missing the previous four games with his ankle injury and played only 15 offensive snaps while carrying the ball 10 times for 55 yards. The 29-year-old should have a bigger role in his second game back, but he's not relied on in the passing game and will remain the clear backup to
J.K. Dobbins, making him impossible to rely on as a starter in fantasy lineups. Unless Dobbins goes down with an injury, Edwards is mostly a deep-league handcuff. After scoring a career-high 13 TDs last year in Baltimore, Edwards has 48 carries for 168 yards and no scores in five games with the Bolts.

November 16, 2024
The Los Angeles Chargers defense will face their first real challenge in a few weeks in a Week 11 Sunday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Chargers had a stretch of opponents with limited offenses, and they put up strong games against them. They were the overall DST3 in Week 8 against New Orleans, the DST2 in Week 9 against Cleveland, and the DST12 in Week 10 against Tennessee. The Bengals pose a much bigger threat than any of those three teams, but this Chargers defense has certainly shown the ability to slow down almost any opponent. Khalil Mack (groin) is questionable after not practicing all week, making the Bolts defense a bit riskier as a fantasy starter this week, but they are still likely to end up as a top-12 option at the position.
