Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers
Ladd McConkey (hip) and
Simi Fehoko (groin, shoulder) are all active for the Monday night showdown against the Arizona Cardinals after being listed as questionable on the final injury report. The rookie McConkey should be quarterback
Justin Herbert's top target in a good matchup with
Quentin Johnston (ankle) ruled out. The 22-year-old has caught nine of his 15 targets in the last two games for 110 yards and a touchdown, making him a worthwhile WR3/flex option for fantasy managers. McConkey and
Joshua Palmer should be LA's top two receivers for this contest, with Fehoko,
Brenden Rice and
Jalen Reagor battling for WR3 snaps with Johnston out. In his first five NFL games, McConkey has recorded 19 receptions on 32 targets for 219 yards and two touchdowns.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers
Quentin Johnston (ankle) and
Derius Davis (hamstring) have both been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Johnston missed practice all week and was listed as doubtful for the Week 7 game, so fantasy managers in deeper leagues should have already moved him to their benches. The good news for the Chargers is that rookie
Ladd McConkey (hip) is active, and he should be quarterback
Justin Herbert's top target alongside
Joshua Palmer in what has been a run-first unit under head coach Jim Harbaugh in 2024. The 23-year-old Johnston caught three touchdowns in the first three weeks of the season but has cooled off since with just four catches for 31 yards in his last two games. The second-year pass-catcher's next chance to play will be this Sunday in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints.

The Los Angeles Chargers defense will look to keep rolling in a Week 7 Monday Night Football game against the Arizona Cardinals. The Bolts defense has been solid this season, finishing as a top-12 fantasy defense in all but one game so far. In Week 6, they had a shutout going into the fourth quarter before playing a slightly softer game that ended up with 16 points for the Broncos in the final 15 minutes of the game. The Cardinals have been a mostly solid offensive team this season, but the Chargers defense is still a top-12 option heading into the weekend. They had two sacks, a pick, and a fumble recovery in Week 6.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker is set for another solid game in a Week 7 Monday Night Football game against the Arizona Cardinals. The Chargers haven't really been doing much on offense this season so far, but Dicker has been a top-15 kicker three times already. He's coming off an overall K6 finish in Week 6, kicking three field goals and two extra points. This season, he's missed only one field goal and one extra point. He's a top-10 option in Week 7, as the Chargers face a Cardinals team that has allowed 99 points in their last three games.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Will Dissly (shoulder) could find himself fantasy relevant in a Week 7 Monday Night Football game against the Arizona Cardinals. Dissly hasn't done a ton this season, totaling 13 catches for 111 yards. His best fantasy finish so far has been a TE18 finish in Week 2, but with several Chargers pass catchers including fellow tight end
Hayden Hurst (groin) injured and not expected to play, Dissly could see more targets thrown his way by necessity. He's still not a TE1 option, but he should put up solid TE2 stats and has a decently high floor for his position.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Joshua Palmer could have an expanded role on Monday Night Football when the Chargers take on the Arizona Cardinals. With
Ladd McConkey (hip) questionable and
Quentin Johnston (ankle) doubtful, Palmer could end up the top receiving option against a defense that has really struggled to stop the passing game. So far, Palmer hasn't done much, with just nine catches this season, but even on a heavy run-focused offense like the Chargers, someone has to catch the ball sometimes, and Palmer could be that guy. He shapes up as a better DFS or best ball option because the floor is as low as the ceiling is high, but this could be one week where Palmer is a viable bye week filler in deeper leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back
Kimani Vidal will look to keep his role in the Chargers backfield growing in a Week 7 Monday Night Football game against the Arizona Cardinals. Vidal started the season fourth on the depth chart, but an injury to
Gus Edwards (ankle) and strong performances from Vidal in small sample sizes have taken him up to second on the depth chart behind starter
J.K. Dobbins. Dobbins has a three-down skill set, so Vidal will spend most of the game on the sidelines, but he would immediately enter the high-end RB2 rankings if something were to happen to the Chargers starter. He has the kind of upside that makes him worth being stashed in most formats.

Los Angeles Chargers running back
J.K. Dobbins got back on track in Week 6 and will look to keep it going in a Week 7 Monday Night Football game against the Arizona Cardinals. Dobbins got off to an excellent start this season, finishing as the overall fantasy RB4 in Week 1 and the RB5 in Week 2. Two down weeks followed (RB39 in Week 3 and RB36 in Week 4), but he got back on track after the Chargers bye, finishing as the RB12 against a strong Denver defense in Week 6. The Cardinals defense is solid enough against the run, but the Chargers have formed their entire offensive identity around the running game, so Dobbins is certain to see plenty of the ball on Monday night. He's an RB1 option with big time upside.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert is tough to trust in Week 7 fantasy lineups despite an excellent matchup. With the Chargers going with an extremely run-heavy approach on offense this season, Herbert ranks as just QB29 in fantasy points per game. His best game of the year so far from a fantasy perspective was a QB21 finish in Week 6. The Cardinals defense has allowed the second-highest yards per attempt and the fifth-highest passer rating to opposing quarterbacks, but with the Chargers still likely to run, run, run, Herbert is at best a QB2 option, startable in superflex and 2QB formats, but not much of an option in any leagues that start just one.

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Joey Bosa (hip) is currently listed as doubtful ahead of Monday's Week 7 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. The superstar pass rusher has been banged up this season and has only managed to play in two games. Bosa hasn't been able to practice this week and only managed one limited practice last week. Possibly, Bosa gets better before Monday, but fantasy managers should expect him to miss another game. Tuli Tuipulotu and Junior Colson figure to see increased snaps if Bosa is unable to go.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston (ankle) and tight end
Hayden Hurst (groin) are listed as doubtful ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday. Johnston suffered an ankle injury last week and as a result he hasn't been able to practice this week. There's a chance he gets better before Monday, but fantasy managers should have a backup plan.
Joshua Palmer and
Ladd McConkey (hip) would see an uptick in targets if Johnston is unable to play. As for Hurst, he hasn't been much of a factor this season anyway. He has six receptions for 59 yards and zero touchdowns in four games.
Will Dissly figures to continue having an increased role with Hurst unlikely to play.
--Andy WebbSource: Adam Schefter

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
DJ Chark (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Chark was recently designated to return from the injured reserve and could make his season debut on Monday. He has been limited in practice this week, but still has a chance of suiting up. The Chargers could certainly use the help with
Quentin Johnston (ankle) and
Ladd McConkey (hip) both on the injury report as well. If both of them sit, Chark could have a bigger role on Monday, but isn't expected to be a significant contributor on the run-heavy Chargers offense.
--Andy WebbSource: Adam Schefter

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday. The rookie wideout has been limited in practice this week due to a hip issue. He did exit early during last week's game, but McConkey returned to action and finished out the contest. The Chargers are already in terms of weapons at wide receiver, so losing McConkey would put them in a bad spot.
Joshua Palmer figures to be the focal point of the passing attack if McConkey does end up sidelined on Monday.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston (ankle) was tagged with a second DNP ahead of the team's Week 7 road matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Tight end
Hayden Hurst (groin) was also a back-to-back DNP. The 23-year-old WR picked up an ankle injury in the Chargers' Week 6 victory over the Denver Broncos and did not return to the contest. With fellow wideouts
Ladd McConkey (hip) and
D.J. Chark Jr. (groin) logging limited sessions thus far, Los Angeles could be looking at a severely depleted wide-receiving corps on Monday Night Football.
Simi Fehoko,
Joshua Palmer,
Brenden Rice, and
Derius Davis are the only active receivers without a designation
