Will Dissly Only Makes Two Catches In A Week 9 Win
Will Dissly (shoulder) only made two catches in a Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns. Dissly has been dealing with a shoulder injury but came into the game without an official injury designation. He'd been very heavily involved in the passing game over the past three games, but with Quentin Johnston returning from an ankle injury, Dissly again faded into a support role at best. He was targeted just three times, making his two catches for nine yards total. Dissly could have some touchdown-dependent value in fantasy leagues going forward, but his brief stint as a TE1 is likely over.Source: ESPN.com
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Joshua Palmer Scores His First Touchdown Of The Season In Week 9
Joshua Palmer scored his first touchdown of the season in a Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns. Palmer was targeted four times, making two catches for 63 yards. His touchdown came in the first quarter on a 28-yard pass from Justin Herbert to open the scoring. His other catch was a 35-yarder. Palmer seems to be settling into a role as a big-play wide receiver instead of the heavily targeted one many expected before the season. He'll be hard to trust in Week 10 despite a good matchup against the Tennessee Titans.Source: ESPN.com
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey Makes Five Catches In A Week 9 Victory
Ladd McConkey made five catches in a 27-10 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 9. McConkey led the team in targets with seven, and in catches with five. He was second in receiving yards with 64, behind Quentin Johnston. McConkey was once again the main first look for quarterback Justin Herbert and should continue to be a high-floor WR2/3 option throughout the season, especially in Week 10 with a game coming up against the Tennessee Titans.Source: ESPN.com
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston Has A Big Game In His Week 9 Return
Quentin Johnston (ankle) had a big game in his return to the starting lineup in Week 9. Johnston missed two games with an ankle injury but came back strong and looked good. He was targeted five times, making four catches for 118 yards and a touchdown. His touchdown was on a big 66-yard play in the second quarter. Johnston ended up leading the team in receiving yards and was second in catches and targets. He should continue to be heavily involved and could move into a consistent WR3 fantasy rank if the Chargers keep their offense going. They'll face the Tennessee Titans in Week 10.Source: ESPN.com
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Kimani Vidal Records Just Five Touches In Week 9 Victory
Kimani Vidal continued in his clear backup role in a 27-10 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 9. Vidal carried the ball five times, gaining just seven yards total while not seeing a target in the passing game. Starter J.K. Dobbins scored twice in this game and recorded 16 touches, with Vidal again sticking to an occasional change of pace and backup role. On his own, Vidal won't have any real fantasy value, but if Dobbins were to miss time, Vidal would step into his role and skyrocket into the RB2 ranks.Source: ESPN.com
Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back J.K. Dobbins Scores Twice In Week 9 Win
J.K. Dobbins scored two touchdowns in a Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns. Dobbins commanded the backfield once again, carrying the ball 14 times, gaining 85 yards and scoring twice. He added two catches for 20 yards through the air, catching both of his targets. His first touchdown was a 16-yard run in the second quarter and his second was a seven-yard scamper in the fourth quarter. Dobbins continues to be the clear three-down RB1 in the LA backfield, as Kimani Vidal was the only other Chargers back to record a carry, and he had only five. Dobbins and the Chargers will take on the Titans in Week 10, where Dobbins should again be in the RB1/2 conversation.Source: ESPN.com
Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Herbert Throws Two Touchdowns In Week 9 Win
Justin Herbert played well in a 27-10 Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns. Herbert attempted 27 passes, completing 18 of them for 282 yards and two touchdowns. He added two yards on the ground on three recorded carries while taking six sacks, losing 36 yards. Herbert's first touchdown was a 28-yard pass to Joshua Palmer in the first quarter, and he followed it up with a 66-yard pass to Quentin Johnston in the second. Herbert didn't need to do much in the second half as the Chargers just chewed lock and nursed their lead. He could have had a bigger game, but the Bolts defense held the Browns to just three points until the last drive of the game. Herbert and the Chargers will take on the Titans in Week 10.Source: ESPN.com
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Joey Bosa Suiting Up Versus Cleveland
Source: Los Angeles Chargers
Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (hip) is officially active for Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns. He had been listed as questionable after logging three limited practices in a row. The 29-year-old returned last week from a three-game absence and is now active again on Sunday. He's looking to stay healthy for the back half of the season, building on his existing nine-tackle, two-sack campaign.DJ Chark Sidelined In Week 9
DJ Chark (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. He had been listed as questionable after finishing the week with back-to-back limited practices. Even though Chark was a full participant in practice and was activated from injured reserve this weekend, he's going to be sidelined for at least one more week. Evidently, Chark wasn't going to have much of a role on offense behind Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Josh Palmer.Source: Los Angeles Chargers
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark Activated From Injured Reserve
DJ Chark (groin) was activated from the injured reserve list on Saturday. The veteran wideout has been sidelined since the preseason because of a groin injury. However, even though there is potential for Chark to get work versus the Cleveland Browns, fantasy managers may want to pump the brakes before putting him in the lineup, especially with Quentin Johnston (ankle) back in the mix after missing time with an ankle injury.Source: Tom Pelissero
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston, Hayden Hurst - Designation Free Heading Into Week 9
Quentin Johnston (ankle) and tight end Hayden Hurst (groin) are off the team's injury report ahead of Week 9. Both athletes haven't appeared in action since being forced from the Chargers' Week 6 23-16 victory over the Denver Broncos early with their respective injuries. It's fantastic news for LA, as wideout DJ Chark (groin) could also be activated off injured reserve this Sunday, meaning Brenden Rice (shoulder) is the only other Chargers' wide receiver to carry a designation. Still, Johnston and Hurst will be tough to trust regarding fantasy output with the emergence of rookie wideout Ladd McConkey (hip). The Bolts will square off against the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field this Sunday.Source: Los Angeles Chargers
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark Listed As Questionable Ahead Of Week 9
DJ Chark (groin) is questionable for Sunday's road outing against the Cleveland Browns. Chark has yet to be activated from the injured reserve after injuring his groin right before the start of the season. However, the 28-year-old was able to log two full practice sessions to close out the week, so perhaps this is the week he'll make his season debut. Even if he suits up, it will be difficult to trust the former second-round pick in his first game back to action as his role in the offense is unclear. Especially with the impending return of fellow wideout Quentin Johnston (ankle). While Chark may carve out a role for himself on the field, he's unlikely to provide a noteworthy fantasy impact.Source: Los Angeles Chargers
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Chargers Defense A Good Idea In Week 9 Lineups
Jameis Winston. The Chargers defense already has five top-12 fantasy finishes and should be right on track for another one this weekend. Joey Bosa (hip) could be making his return as well, which would bolster the pass rush for the Bolts.Source: RotoBaller
The Los Angeles Chargers defense is a good option for Week 9 fantasy lineups as the Bolts travel to Ohio to take on the Cleveland Browns. The Chargers defensive unit is coming off an overall DST3 finish last week against the New Orleans Saints, and now they face a Browns offense that is in flux and led by turnover-happy Cameron Dicker A Reliable Option In Week 9
Cameron Dicker is a solid and reliable option in Week 9 fantasy lineups as the Chargers hit the road to take on the Cleveland Browns. Dicker has two top-six fantasy kicker finishes in the past three weeks, and he's continued with the consistency he showed in his rookie season. This year, he's missed just one field goal and two extra points through a total of 26 made kicks. With a Cleveland defense that is decent at best and a Chargers offense that appears to be on the upswing, Dicker could see several chances to score points this weekend and should be a solid top-10 option at the position.Source: RotoBaller
