Chargers | Jalen Guyton draws rave review Tue Jun 21, 11:02 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Jalen Guyton drew a rave review for his offseason work from head coach Brandon Staley. 'Jalen Guyton was fantastic in the offseason,' Staley said. 'This guy made a lot of big plays for us in the spring. Really did a nice job on special teams. We kind of challenged him to be a factor in the kicking game. I think he's looked really good out there.'
Footballguys view: Undrafted out of North Texas a few years ago, Guyton has been mostly a deep threat for the Chargers. He's going to likely land as the no.4 receiver for the Chargers behind Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Joshua Palmer. |

Daniel Popper, from The Athletic, reports Los Angeles Chargers TE Gerald Everett could be used in a variety of ways this season.
Footballguys view: We could see the Chargers use Everett all over the field to highlight his size/athleticism combination. Everett can be a real weapon for their offense, but he's fourth in the pecking order for targets behind WRs Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and RB Austin Ekeler. His current ADP is TE20 (14.09) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Los Angeles Chargers WR Josh Palmer worked with the first-team offense during minicamp.
Footballguys view: A third-round pick out of Tennessee in the 2021 NFL draft, Palmer flashed some talent as a rookie primarily as a backup to Keenan Allen. He's working to win the no.3 job on the depth chart behind Allen and Mike Williams. If Palmer gets that spot, he will have some flex worthy fantasy relevance based on matchups for the Chargers high-powered passing attack. |

Los Angeles Chargers third-round draft choice S JT Woods signed a four-year contract with the Chargers Tuesday, June 14. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storyFourth-round draft choice RB Isaiah Spiller (Texas A&M) signed a four-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday, June 10. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs need to keep an eye on Spiller in training camp. If you have enough space on your bench for handcuffs, then Spiller could be the guy you snare as an insurance policy for Chargers starter Austin Ekeler. He's a tall, hard-charging running back who wastes little motion as a runner. While he doesn't have an extra gear in the open field, Spiller can create space as a runner with quick cuts and efficient moves. He's a good receiving option out of the backfield as well, giving him three-down capability in the NFL. Watch in training camp to see if he wins the no.2 job behind Ekeler. |
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert believes the team's offense is 'miles ahead of where we were last year.'

First-round draft choice OG Zion Johnson (Boston College) signed a four-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday, May 27. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
Footballguys view: Johnson is a safe pick who will continue the offensive rebuild to help solidify the foundation of Justin Herbert's success. He'll likely plug into the hole at right guard, next to the unsettled right tackle position, so the team will be counting on him to play at a high level right away. |
Los Angeles Chargers LB Kenneth Murray (ankle) should be ready for the start of training camp, according to head coach Brandon Staley.

Los Angeles Chargers LB Khalil Mack (foot) is in 'really good shape' and 'could probably go full speed right now (if necessary),' according to head coach Brandon Staley on Tuesday, May 24.'(Mack is) in really good shape. He has a lot of confidence in where he's at right now. We just want to make sure that we phase them in the right way. He's going to be in all of the walk-through stuff, jog-through stuff. But we want to make sure that in individual (period) that he just comes back the right way. He could probably go full speed right now,' Staley said.

Link to storyDaniel Popper, from The Athletic, believes Los Angeles Chargers rookie RB Isaiah Spiller is the front-runner to be the no.2 back behind starter Austin Ekeler.
Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs certainly need to keep tabs on this situation in training camp. Spiller will be competing with guys like Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree to establish a pecking order on the depth chart. During his college career at Texas A&M, Spiller was a reliable starter who thrived as a runner because of his vision, footwork and contact balance. He can handle a starter's workload if asked, and he could be the primary handcuff for Ekeler's Fantasy GMs. |

Link to storyTexas A&M RB Isaiah Spiller was selected by the Los Angeles Chargers with the 123rd overall selection in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Footballguys view: Spiller has the skill set to be a featured back in the NFL. He's a big back with great feet and great feel for rushing lanes. Spiller can set up defenders on the second level as he's getting the handoff, and he's got burst out of his one cut as a North-South runner. Spiller is trusted as a receiver and in pass protection. He could be the running back of the future for the Chargers but begins his pro career as a backup to Austin Ekeler. |

Footballguys view: Guyton sticks with the team, because ERFAs can retire of player for the team who tendered them, and he's going to continue being a deep threat. We expect the Chargers to try and upgrade their no.3 spot from Guyton to give themselves more weapons behind Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. |

Footballguys view: Everett goes back to Los Angeles, but this time as a member of the Chargers. He joins an offense with great weapons on the outside in WRs Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. Everett could be in for career-best numbers in 2022, so Fantasy GMs should look at him as a TE2 with TE1 upside. |
