The Los Angeles Chargers have signed running back
Ezekiel Elliott on Monday. The former first-round pick will get a chance to compete for a Super Bowl this season. The Chargers are lacking depth at the running back spot, so the addition of Elliott does make sense. The three-time Pro Bowl back might play a minimal role during Saturday's Wild-Card game against the Houston Texans. This season, Elliott rushed for 226 yards on 74 carries with three touchdowns in 15 games with the Dallas Cowboys. The 29-year-old brings knowledge and leadership, but he hasn't rushed for over 1,000 yards since 2021. This is a depth move that gives the 29-year-old a chance to win a Super Bowl.

The Los Angeles Chargers defense put up a solid performance in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. They allowed 20 points and recorded one interception. They ended up without a sack but were still solid up front and in the secondary. The Bolts allowed two touchdowns and two field goals in this game, one of each in each quarter. While it wasn't their best performance of the season, allowing just one score per quarter is certainly a solid way to wrap up the regular season. They will take on the Texans on Saturday in the first round of the playoffs.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker made six of his seven kicks in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Dicker made both of his extra point tries and four of his five field goal attempts. He made field goals from 33, 32, 49, and 20 yards away. His miss was on a 51-yard try in the first quarter. Dicker ends the regular season as one of the best and most consistent kickers, both in fantasy and on the "real life" field. He'll be one of the best options at the position in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs, when the Bolts face off against the Houston Texans.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Derius Davis got just two touches in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Davis ran the ball once, losing one yard on the play. He was also targeted once in the passing game, making a catch for a five-yard gain. Davis had been making a little noise over the past couple of games, but he fell back into a support role in this one, which is likely the role he'll play in the playoffs, starting on Saturday in the Wild Card Round against the Houston Texans.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
D.J. Chark scored a touchdown in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Chark was targeted three times, making his only catch for a six-yard touchdown at the end of the second quarter. It was Chark's only touchdown of the season, as he ended up making just four catches this season. He missed some time due to injury, but even when healthy he was unable to move up the Chargers wide receiver depth chart. He likely won't be a factor when the playoffs start for the Bolts on Saturday against the Houston Texans.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Will Dissly scored a touchdown in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Dissly was targeted six times, making five catches for 42 yards. His touchdown came on a two-yard pass from
Justin Herbert near the beginning of the fourth quarter. Dissly ended up second on the team in catches and third in targets.
Stone Smartt, who had been splitting tight end work with Dissly, finished the game without a single target. Dissly should remain the top tight end option for the Bolts on Saturday when they face the Texans in the first round of the playoffs.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey made five more catches to close out the regular season in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. McConkey was targeted eight times, making the five catches for 95 yards. He made a big play with a 47-yard gain and remained a key part of the Chargers passing game. In this one, however,
Quentin Johnston (13 catches for 186 yards) was the focal point. The Bolts will take on the Houston Texans on Saturday in the first round of the playoffs.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston had a career game in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Johnston led the team in targets, catches, and yards, all by a significant margin. He was targeted 14 times, making 13 catches for 186 yards. It was the second 100+ yard game of his career. He was the focal point of the offense, as no other Charger made more than five catches. It was an excellent game for "QJ" and he'll look to keep the momentum going on Saturday when the Bolts face the Houston Texans in the first round of the playoffs.

Los Angeles Chargers running back
Hassan Haskins scored a touchdown in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Haskins ran the ball 12 times, gaining 33 yards. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. His touchdown came on a two-yard run near the end of the fourth quarter. With the Chargers mostly in control of the game late, Haskins was able to get some more run while starter
J.K. Dobbins, who got 18 carries, was able to rest. The Chargers next game will be a Wild Card playoff matchup against the Houston Texans, where Haskins is unlikely to repeat his dozen carries.

Los Angeles Chargers running back
J.K. Dobbins had an average game in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Dobbins went up against a tough Raiders run defense and carried the ball 18 times, gaining 63 yards with a long of 10. He was also targeted three times in the passing game, coming up with three catches for 12 yards. Dobbins couldn't find a ton of room to run, and the Chargers gave backup
Hassan Haskins a dozen carries likely to keep Dobbins fresh for next week's playoff opener against the Houston Texans.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert had a big game to close out the regular season in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Herbert completed 28 of his 36 pass attempts for 346 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 42 yards on the ground on four carries. Herbert had a long run of 41 yards that almost ended in a touchdown but was able to make one of his two touchdown passes right after to score the six points. That touchdown went to
Will Dissly, and his other one went to
D.J. Chark. Herbert took only one sack, losing 10 yards on the play. He and the Bolts will face the Texans on Saturday in the Wild Card Round.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Derius Davis hasn't done much this season, but has finally been more involved over the last two weeks. Davis has four receptions for 60 yards and a pair of touchdowns over his last two games. He'll look to extend his touchdown-streak against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 18. The 24-year-old normally isn't much of an option, but could see more targets with
Joshua Palmer (foot) sidelined. Despite that,
Ladd McConkey and
Quentin Johnston remain ahead of Davis on the pecking order. Davis isn't anything more than a touchdown-dependent option for Week 18.

The Los Angeles Chargers defense is a strong option in Week 18 fantasy lineups as they will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in the regular-season finale. The Chargers are coming off an excellent Week 17 performance in which they allowed just seven points and put up 10 fantasy points against the New England Patriots. The Raiders are another good matchup for opposing defenses, putting the Chargers easily in the top-five of expected fantasy defensive units for the season's final weekend.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker is a strong choice for Week 18 fantasy lineups when the Chargers take on the Las Vegas Raiders. Dicker has been one of the league's most consistent and reliable kickers all season and should remain that way in the regular season finale. While most of the Chargers starters are in a holding pattern awaiting the results of Saturday's Bengals-Steelers game, Dicker is one Charger fantasy asset who will be a top-10 option at his position regardless of the result of any other matchup.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Will Dissly doesn't have much upside in a Week 18 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Dissly will share snaps with
Stone Smartt and possibly also with
Hayden Hurst in a game that could see a lot of Chargers starters getting some rest. Dissly would seemingly have the highest floor of the three Bolts tight ends, but he's still in the middle of TE2 rankings at best.
