Gus Edwards Questionable To Return In Week 10
Gus Edwards (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to return from Injured Reserve and play in Week 10 against the visiting Tennessee Titans. Edwards was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full on Friday. The former Baltimore Ravens RB has not played since getting injured in the Week 4 loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. If Edwards is activated from IR on Saturday and plays on Sunday, he'll most likely be eased in as J.K. Dobbins' backup. In the four games that Edwards played in before his injury, he took a clear back seat to Dobbins in LA's backfield and was averaging a career-low 3.0 yards per carry on 38 rushing attempts. Edwards' impending return will mean less playing time for rookie Kimani Vidal as a change-of-pace option behind Dobbins.Source: Chargers.com
Los Angeles Chargers running back Chargers Defense A Top Fantasy Option In Week 10
Will Levis returning to the starting lineup. In his five games this season, Levis has thrown five touchdowns and seven interceptions. The Chargers defense has finished as a top-three fantasy defense in both of the past two weeks, and they have a good chance to end up in or near that tier once again this time around. Start them with confidence as a high-floor and even higher-ceiling DST.Source: RotoBaller
The Los Angeles Chargers defense is projected to be one of the top defensive units in fantasy football for Week 10. The Bolts will take on the Tennessee Titans, who will have quarterback Cameron Dicker A Good Week 10 Fantasy Option
Cameron Dicker is a solid fantasy option for a Week 10 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Dicker has been about as consistent as fantasy kickers can be this season, scoring double digit fantasy points in four of the Chargers' eight games, peaking with 21 points in Week 7. This week, he faces a Tennessee Titans team that has been very generous to opposing fantasy kickers. With the Chargers offense expected to do well in this game, Dicker should be given at least a few chances to kick. He's a top-10 option at fantasy's least projectable position.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Will Dissly Unlikely To Make An Impact In Week 10
Will Dissly is unlikely to make a significant fantasy impact in a Week 10 game against the Tennessee Titans. Dissly was heavily involved in the Chargers passing game between Weeks 6 and 8, drawing 23 targets across the three games, but that was mostly due to other Chargers pass catchers missing time with injuries. In Week 9, with several pass catchers returning, Dissly saw just three targets and made two catches for a total of nine yards. He has yet to score a touchdown this season and shouldn't be relied upon as anything more than a non-zero floor tight end option. Most leagues will likely have at least one higher upside option on the waiver wire for this week.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Joshua Palmer Remains A Risky Option In Week 10
Joshua Palmer remains a risky fantasy option in Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans. Palmer scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 9, but ended up totaling just two catches on four targets. That seems to be the role Palmer has settled into in this Chargers offense. He could occasionally come up with big plays but it won't be consistent enough to make him a reliable fantasy option. With D.J. Chark (groin) expected to return this week, Palmer could have even more competition in the passing game going forward.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston Looks To Keep It Going In Week 10
Quentin Johnston will look to stay hot in a Week 10 game against the Tennessee Titans. The sophomore pass catcher was forced to miss Weeks 7 and 8 with an ankle injury, but he came back in Week 9 and put up 118 yards and a touchdown, ending up as the overall fantasy WR6 with an even 20 fantasy points. This matchup may be a little tougher, as the Tennessee defense has been stingy against outside wide receivers so far this season. They are in the top third of defenses in terms of receiving yards and fantasy points per game allowed to outside wide receivers. The Chargers may focus more on passing to their slot receivers and tight ends in this one, but Johnston still will certainly have a role and is always a threat to score on a deep ball. He has a lower floor than usual this week, but a similar ceiling.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey In A Good Spot To Excel In Week 10
Ladd McConkey is in a good spot to have a big game in Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans. McConkey is the overall WR30 in fantasy points per game so far this season, and while he had a pedestrian Week 9 performance (8.9 fantasy points), he's still not far removed from his huge Week 8, where he was the overall WR2, putting up 26.1 fantasy points against the Saints. In Week 10, the rookie slot receiver will face the Titans defense, who has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing slot receivers. They've fared mostly well against outside receivers, so quarterback Justin Herbert could target McConkey even more than usual, who already has a 22.7% target share and a 27.3% first-read share. It could be a huge week for the rookie, but it will almost certainly be a high floor type of game at the very least.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Kimani Vidal Not An Option For Week 10 Lineups
Kimani Vidal is not an option in Week 10 fantasy lineups. Vidal has played a direct backup role to starter J.K. Dobbins this season, but Dobbins has been on the field for the vast majority of snaps and Vidal only gets a handful of touches per game, if that. With Gus Edwards (ankle) working his way back from IR, Vidal's small role could get even smaller soon. While Edwards isn't likely to play in Week 10, he could return the following week and push Vidal lower on the depth chart. Vidal should be rostered in deeper dynasty leagues, but can be left on most standard league's waiver wires at this point.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back J.K. Dobbins Has A Tough Matchup In Week 10
J.K. Dobbins has a tough matchup in Week 10, but should still be a solid RB2 option regardless. Dobbins is the overall RB13 in fantasy points per game, and the Chargers offense has run through him at certain points this season. He's coming off a big game in Cleveland where he scored 23.5 fantasy points and ended up as the week's RB6. The Titans defense is a bit more of a challenge, as they've held opposing running backs to the fourth-lowest rushing success rate and the third-lowest yards after contact rate as well. Still, with his heavy involvement and the Chargers generally heavily favored in this game, Dobbins should have his chances and is always a threat for the end zone.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Herbert Looks To Stay Hot In Week 10
Justin Herbert will look to stay hot in a Week 10 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Herbert got off to a slow start this season but has been heating up since Week 7, coming in as the fantasy QB10 since then along with being first in the league in passing yards per game in that span. With the Chargers throwing more often and Herbert clearly feeling healthier, he's worked his way back into fantasy consideration after being clearly unplayable for the first few weeks of the season. In Week 10, he has an almost completely healthy receiving corps and will take on a Titans defense that has shown quite a bit of give, especially in recent weeks. Herbert is a solid QB2 with a nice floor and some decent upside as well.Source: RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Gus Edwards Stays Limited On Thursday
Gus Edwards (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Edwards' 21-day practice window to return from Injured Reserve was opened when he returned to the practice field on Wednesday, but he's not necessarily guaranteed to be active on game day this Sunday against the visiting Tennessee Titans. And when the 29-year-old does return to the Chargers' backfield, he's expected to return to the clear backup role behind J.K. Dobbins. Edwards had taken a clear back seat to Dobbins, his former teammate in Baltimore, in his four games played, averaging a career-low 3.0 yards per carry on 38 rushing attempts after putting up a career-high 13 rushing scores in 2023 with the Ravens. If Edwards gets the green light to return in Week 10 against Tennessee, he won't be a recommended flex play in fantasy.Source: ESPN.com - Kris Rhim
Los Angeles Chargers running back DJ Chark Not On Week 10 Injury Report
DJ Chark (groin) wasn't listed on the team's Week 10 injury report on Wednesday, meaning that he was able to put in a full practice. Chark was activated from Injured Reserve last Saturday but did not play in the Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns. The fact that the 28-year-old is completely off the injury report to begin Week 10 preparation is a good sign for his chances of being active this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, though. It will be a boost to LA's receiving corps, but the former second-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2018 out of LSU should remain on the waiver wire in standard 12-team fantasy leagues. Chark has yet to play in 2024 and will be the team's WR4 behind Quentin Johnston, rookie Ladd McConkey and Joshua Palmer.Source: Chargers.com

Chargers Defense Plays Well In A Week 9 Win
Source: ESPN.com
The Los Angeles Chargers defense had a good game against the Cleveland Browns in a 27-10 Week 9 win. The Bolts made three interceptions, recorded six sacks, blocked a kick, and allowed just 10 points. All that was good for 19 fantasy points in a standard scoring league, far exceeding their projections. The Browns ended up scoring a touchdown on their last play of the game, as the Chargers had only allowed three points all game before that. It was a powerful performance, and they should be in for another good one in Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans.Cameron Dicker Misses Twice In Week 9
Cameron Dicker attempted five kicks in a Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns. Dicker made three of his four extra point tries and missed his only field goal attempt. Dicker's field goal try came from 44 yards out. He's still one of the more consistent kickers in the NFL, but this was far from his best performance. Luckily, the Bolts were comfortably ahead and were able to wrap up a 27-10 win.Source: ESPN.com
