Chargers | Kimani Vidal day-to-day Mon Dec 22, 03:09 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal (neck) has been diagnosed with a neck strain and is considered day-to-day, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Vidal had to exit Sunday's eventual victory over the Cowboys early in the contest. In 12 games with 10 starts this season, Vidal leads the Chargers with 631 yards rushing. He's rushed for three touchdowns and caught 15 passes for 138 yards with a TD. The Chargers used Hassan Haskins to spell Omarion Hampton after Vidal exited the game. Haskins gained 14 yards on four carries. Playing the Texans on Saturday, the Chargers' first injury report of the week is due out on Tuesday. |
Chargers | Denzel Perryman suspended two games Mon Dec 22, 02:35 PM
Los Angeles Chargers LB Denzel Perryman has been suspended two games by the NFL for repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players.
| Footballguys view: The NFL's announcement notes that Perryman was flagged for unnecessary roughness for delivering a forcible blow to the helmet of Cowboys receiver Ryan Flournoy while he was on the ground after making a catch during Sunday's game. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Perryman will appeal the suspension. Notably, this is Perryman's second two-game suspension for repeated violations of player-safety rules. The first came back in 2023 when he was playing for the Texans. Currently, Perryman is eligible to return to Los Angeles' active roster on Monday, Jan. 5, the day after the team's currently scheduled regular-season finale against the Broncos. |

Chargers | Kimani Vidal suffers neck injury Sun Dec 21, 07:01 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal carried five times for 11 yards in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. He also suffered a neck injury in the game and did not appear to return.
| Footballguys view: Vidal got hurt in the second half, requiring trainers to tend to him on the field. Although his role has decreased since Omarion Hampton's return from injury, Vidal has remained an integral part of the offense. The Chargers used Hassan Haskins to spell Hampton after Vidal exited the game. Haskins gained 14 yards on four carries. Los Angeles did not provide an update on Vidal before the game ended. The Chargers face the Texans in Week 17. |

Chargers | Oronde Gadsden limited to one catch Sun Dec 21, 06:10 PM
Los Angeles Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden caught one pass for seven yards in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: Gadsden had one of the biggest plays in Week 15 streetfight win over the Chiefs in Kansas City, but he was an afterthought in Week 16 with Quentin Johnston back on the field most everything working for the Chargers offense. |

Chargers | Tre Harris posts five receptions in Week 16 Sun Dec 21, 06:06 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Tre Harris caught four of five targets for 54 yards in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Link to story Chargers | Quentin Johnston posts 104 yards and a score Sun Dec 21, 06:00 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston caught four of five targets for a season-high 104 yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: Johnston missed Week 15 with a groin injury and wasn't a sure thing to play against Dallas, so he wasn't in many fantasy lineups. He looked healthy streaking past the Cowboys secondary and had a pretty one-handed touchdown catch to help Justin Herbert post a huge fantasy line. The matchup against the Texans next week is a tough one, so Johnston is probably not going to be in Week 17 lineups despite posting this strong Week 16 result. |

Chargers | Ladd McConkey scores sixth touchdown Sun Dec 21, 05:53 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey caught four of six targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: It wasn't a ceiling game, but it was still enough to justify putting McConkey in the lineup against a weak passing defense. Against a much tougher Texans pass defense next week, McConkey might not be an automatic fantasy championship lineup play even though he was a second round pick in most drafts this summer. |
Chargers | Omarion Hampton rushes for 85 yards and a touchdown Sun Dec 21, 05:42 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton carried 16 times for 85 yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also caught one pass for 10 yards.
| Footballguys view: Hampton got more work in the second half after Kimani Vidal left with a neck injury. We'll be watching to see if Vidal will be available for the Week 17 game against the Texans. If not, Hampton will be a strong RB2 play in the fantasy championship week. |
Chargers | Justin Herbert throws for 300 yards and two scores Sun Dec 21, 05:34 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert was 23 of 29 -- a season-high 79 percent -- for 300 yards and two touchdowns and added a running score and 42 yards on eight carries in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys hapless defense couldn't stop the Chargers in the first half, allowing three scores. While it did come against one of the worst defenses in the league, Herbert looked like a gunslinger for the first time in a game this season that he did not have his starting left tackle Joe Alt. He'll have a much tougher matchup next week against the Texans in a matchup of likely wild card teams that have the potential to run the table in the playoffs. |

Chargers | Kimani Vidal leaves game Sun Dec 21, 03:51 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal (neck) suffered a neck injury during the Week 16 game and is considered questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: Omarion Hampton ran with great burst and strength in the second half and looked fresh after missing almost half of the season with a fractured ankle. We'll be watching Vidal's status, but if he's out against the Texans in Week 17, Hampton becomes a strong RB2 play at worst. |

Chargers | Justin Herbert will play Fri Dec 19, 04:37 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 19, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Herbert has played through a left-hand injury for a few weeks. His production has slowed from his early-season pace, but the matchup against the Cowboys presents a chance to get right. He is in the streaming discussion, despite his recent performance being concerning. |

Chargers | Keenan Allen set to play Fri Dec 19, 04:32 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (rest) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 19, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Allen has just one 100-yard game this season, and it came eight weeks ago. His name and connection with Justin Herbert keep him in the weekly WR3 tier, but his ceiling is entirely touchdown-dependent. |

Chargers | Quentin Johnson questionable against the Cowboys Fri Dec 19, 02:59 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (groin) is listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: Johnston missed last week's game with a groin injury but returned to practice this week in a limited capacity. He has gone cold after a hot start to the season. If he is active, the Cowboys allow a tantalizing number of big plays, which is Johnston's specialty. Still, given his recent production and the injury, he should only be started by desperate managers. |

Chargers | Quiet game for Ladd McConkey in Week 15 Sun Dec 14, 05:12 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey was targeted three times and caught two of them for 20 yards in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Not only has McConkey not been a fantasy asset since Week 10 as the Chargers offense has slogged through the injury minefield, you would have been better off putting him on the bench in three of the last four weeks. The matchup against Dallas next week is tempting, but strong playoff fantasy rosters may have trouble finding a lineup spot for McConkey when he has been ice cold over the last month. |

Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton registered 15 carries for 61 yards in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs, while providing a 4-yard reception on his lone target.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers stuck with a true committee backfield in Hampton's second week back. He was the more effective runner, but that is no solace to fantasy teams that played Hampton over other RB2/Flex options that hit today. He'll be in play as a flex against the Cowboys next week. |
Chargers | Justin Herbert throws for 210 yards, TD Sun Dec 14, 04:06 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert completed 19-of-29 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs, while running twice for no yards.
| Footballguys view: Herbert wasn't a great fantasy play, but that was expected. He rallied to make two big throws late in the first half to tighten what was a lopsided game, and he hung in against a relentless Chiefs defense in a physical battle. Herbert will be a consideration a streaming QB1 next week at Dallas with the Chargers making a push to the playoffs. |
