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. |

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. |

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. |

Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers LB Denzel Perryman racked up nine total stops, including four of the solo variety, with one tackle for loss in the Week 15 game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

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 FB/DT Scott Matlock registered two receptions for nine yards on his two targets in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers WR KeAndre Lambert-Smith had a 16-yard reception on his only target in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and it was good for his first NFL touchdown.

Los Angeles Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden II registered four receptions for a team-best 61 yards on five targets in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal ran 12 times for 33 yards in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs, while adding one reception for 15 yards on his only target.
Link to storyLos 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. |
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. |

Los Angeles Chargers FS Tony Jefferson was ejected in the fourth quarter of the Week 15 game against the Kansas City Chiefs after a big hit touched off an on-field fracas. He was flagged for unnecessary roughness, and after being ejected, he also made a finger gesture to the booing crowd, which will likely draw league discipline.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is not on the injury report for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: 33-year-old Keenan Allen gets frequent rest days, but he's expected to play this week. We've got him ranked as a borderline WR4, as his occasional productive games have been difficult to predict. |

Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, but is not on the injury report for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: We've got McConkey ranked as a WR3 this week. His talent is undeniable, but Los Angeles' passing production has been sporadic and spread thin. He's posted a couple of 100-yard games and five touchdowns this year, but the lows have been low, keeping him in the high-risk WR3 tier. |
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, but is not on the injury report for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Herbert played through a hand injury last week, and there's no reason to expect he won't do the same in Week 15. Unfortunately, his production has disappeared over the past couple of months as his offensive line has been ravaged by injuries. He's in the streaming conversation this week, but better options may be available on your waiver wire. |

Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (groin) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is listed as questionable for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Johnston's hot start feels like a distant memory, as he's averaged WR68 production per game since Week 5 and has multiple scoreless outings. With the Chargers' offense sputtering lately, Johnston is extremely volatile and lands as a borderline WR4 against the Chiefs this week. |
