Joey Bosa Unlikely To Play Monday
Source: Adam Schefter
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.Quentin Johnston, Hayden Hurst Tagged As Doubtful
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.Source: Adam Schefter
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark Tagged As Questionable For Week 7
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.Source: Adam Schefter
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey Questionable For Week 7
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.Source: Adam Schefter

Quentin Johnston Logs Another DNP
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 designationSource: Los Angeles Chargers

Quentin Johnston Misses First Practice Of The Week
Quentin Johnston (ankle) was held out of the team's first practice of the week on Thursday due to an ankle injury that he suffered in the Week 6 win over the division-rival Denver Broncos. The Chargers wideout corps is pretty banged up heading into a Monday night tilt this week against the Arizona Cardinals, with rookie Ladd McConkey (hip) and Simi Fehoko (groin, shoulder) also on the Week 7 injury report. The 23-year-old Johnston should be considered questionable for now, although he has two more days to get back on the practice field. Johnston was a waiver-wire pickup after scoring three touchdowns in Weeks 2 and 3, but since then, he's caught only four passes for 31 yards in two contests. If he's active against Arizona, he'll be a touchdown-dependent WR5/flex in a run-first offense.Source: Los Angeles Chargers
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark Set To Return To Practice On Wednesday
DJ Chark (hip) is set to have his practice window open on Wednesday, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN. Chark has been on the injured reserve since the opening week with a hip injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during practice this week as he could make his 2024 season debut on Monday evening against the Arizona Cardinals. Last season, Chark caught 35 passes for 525 yards and five scores with the Carolina Panthers. When Chark returns, he should compete for targets with Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnson, and Ladd McConkey and should be left on all waiver wires for now.Source: Kris Rhim
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston Makes Three Catches In Week 6 Win
Quentin Johnston was forced to miss some time in a Week 6 win over the Denver Broncos due to an ankle injury. Johnston left in the first quarter but was eventually able to return. Still, he didn't end up doing much, as the sophomore wide receiver was targeted just four times, making three catches for 22 yards. He also recorded a rushing attempt, but did not gain any yardage on his run. Johnston has pretty solidly entrenched himself as the WR2 on this offense, but it's a run-first offense that tries to control clock and spreads the ball around plenty when they do throw (Just Herbert targeted nine different pass catchers in this game). Johnston will have more big games like he did earlier this season, but he's unlikely to be a consistent source of WR2/3 production most weeks.Source: ESPN.com
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer Makes Two Catches In Week 6 Win
Joshua Palmer had another pedestrian game in a Week 6 win over the Denver Broncos. Palmer was targeted three times, making two catches for 38 yards. Before the season, there was tons of hype around Palmer as Justin Herbert's presumed WR1 on an offense that was expected to improve. Instead, Palmer has become the third option at best in an offense that severely prioritizes the running game. Palmer could have some big weeks in games the Chargers trail and are forced to throw more often, but he won't be a major part of the game plan most weeks and usually won't return more than long shot WR4 value.Source: ESPN.com
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Chargers Defense Plays Well In A Week 6 Win
Source: ESPN.com
The Los Angeles Chargers defense played well in a Week 6 win over the Denver Broncos. The Bolts had a shutout through three quarters before allowing 16 points in the fourth quarter in a 23-16 win. They recorded an interception and a fumble recovery while also sacking the quarterback twice. All together, they ended up with seven fantasy points in standard scoring leagues. They'll get Monday Night Football in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals and should be a solid fantasy option once again for that one.Cameron Dicker Makes Five Kicks In Week 6 Win
Cameron Dicker made all five of his kicks in a Week 6 win over the Denver Broncos. Dicker tried three field goals, making them all while also adding two extra points. His field goals came from 20, 33, and 46 yards out. He remains one of the most consistent kickers inside 50 yards and with the way the Chargers offense is going, he could continue to get several chances to score per game. He'll be a top-12 option more weeks than he won't be, and should be rostered in most formats that still have a K spot in the lineup.Source: ESPN.com
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Ladd McConkey Survives In A Week 6 Win
Ladd McConkey was in and out of Week 6's win over the Denver Broncos, but appears to have escaped the game without a serious lasting injury. Several times, McConkey was forced to the sideline only to return to the game later on. In total, he was targeted eight times, making four catches for 43 yards. He led the team in targets and catches, falling one yard behind the team lead in receiving yards. McConkey has proven to be the WR1 on this offense, but it will continue to be a run-first unit that severely limits the upside of any pass catcher on the roster.Source: ESPN.com
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Kimani Vidal Scores His First NFL Touchdown In Week 6
Kimani Vidal scored the first touchdown of his NFL career in a Week 6 win over the Denver Broncos. Vidal ran the ball four times, gaining 11 yards. He was targeted twice in the passing game and made the most of it, scoring a 38-yard touchdown and gaining 40 yards total through the air. Vidal only got six touches total, but his workload should be going up after this solid performance and with Gus Edwards (ankle) now on IR. J.K. Dobbins will clearly be the RB1 on the Chargers offense, but Vidal should work his way into the main backup role before long. He should be picked up off waivers wherever he's available.Source: ESPN.com
