Chargers | Mike Williams has torn ACL Mon Sep 25, 12:17 PM
Updating previous reports, Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Week 3, and his season is over.
| Footballguys view: Big Mike Williams is a fantastic player when he's healthy, but he does get injured quite a bit as a pro. Now, he's dealing with a serious injury that will cost him the rest of the 2023 season. Williams has a $32 million cap hit in 2024, but the team could move on from him and eat $12 million in dead money. The Chargers will move forward with Joshua Palmer and rookie first-round pick Quentin Johnston as no.2 and no.3 options behind Keenan Allen. |

Chargers | Joshua Kelley disappoints yet again Sun Sep 24, 07:37 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Joshua Kelley rushed 11 times for just 12 yards in his second straight start in place of the injured RB Austin Ekeler (ankle) in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings. He added a 5-yard catch on his lone target.
| Footballguys view: Kelley did get a chance to score in short yardage, but the Vikings run defense came to life after being humiliated by the Eagles last week and the Chargers were doing a much better job moving the ball through the air. Even if Austin Ekeler doesn't play next week (the Chargers bye is in Week 5), Kelley is only a what the heck flex coming off of two duds as the starter. |

Chargers | Keenan Allen goes crazy in Week 3 Sun Sep 24, 07:34 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen posted 18 receptions for a career-high 215 yards on 20 targets in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings, and he also threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to WR Mike Williams.
| Footballguys view: Allen has already been the focal point of the Chargers passing game, that should only increase with Mike Williams going down due to a leg injury. Allen might be a first round pick if drafts were held next week. As long as he stays healthy, he'll be one of the biggest value picks of 2023 even though he cost you a third round pick in most drafts. |

Chargers | Justin Herbert goes over 400 yards Sun Sep 24, 07:28 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert completed 40-of-47 passes for 405 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings. He set a career best with 26 first-half receptions, he has set the franchise record with 213 consecutive attempts and counting without an interception, and he is the second-fastest player in NFL history to reach 15,000 passing yards, in his 52nd career regular-season game. He is also the fourth-fastest player to reach the 100-touchdown mark.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers went pass heavy even though they were successfully run heavy in Week 1 against Miami and the Eagles ran all over the Vikings last week. Herbert might be missing Mike Williams for a while, but his tight ends and #3 receiver picked up the slack. He's leveling off as a solid QB1 under the guidance of Kellen Moore. |

Chargers | Mike Williams out of game Sun Sep 24, 03:42 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams (knee) suffered a knee injury during the Week 3 game and is considered questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: Williams had to take the cart back to the locker room. Joshua Palmer caught a score on a ball that should have been picked in relief of Williams, and he's the pickup over first round pick Quentin Johnston, who has been used sparingly. It's also possible that tight ends Gerald Everett and Donald Parham are more involved in the passing game if Williams has to sit for multiple weeks. The Chargers get the Raiders next week. |

Chargers | Austin Ekeler unlikely to practice again Friday Fri Sep 22, 01:59 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (ankle) is not expected to miss a sixth consecutive practice on Friday, Sept. 22.
| Footballguys view: Ekeler is unlikely to play at Minnesota this week. Joshua Kelley was a dud last week vs. the rough Titans run defense, but he should be a much better play this week against the Vikings defense that D'Andre Swift got 100 yards on *before* contact last Thursday night. |

Chargers | Eight receptions for Mike Williams Sun Sep 17, 05:03 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams caught eight passes for 83 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. He was targeted 13 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Williams had a solid PPR day with Austin Ekeler's absence focusing the targets on the wide receivers. He'll be worth putting in lineups whether Ekeler is back or not next week with the Vikings pass defense up next week. |

Chargers | Two touchdowns for Keenan Allen Sun Sep 17, 05:01 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen caught eight passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. He was targeted 10 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Allen is looking like one of the best picks in the third round of fantasy drafts. He was making plays downfield and also converted on scoring opportunities. He'll be a high floor WR1 play against the Vikings next week. |
Keenan Allen player page
Chargers | Joshua Kelley held in check Sun Sep 17, 04:59 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Joshua Kelley rushed for 39 yards on 13 carries against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2.
| Footballguys view: The Titans run defense is for real (Nick Chubb faces them next week), and the Chargers had no urge to throw to the running back without Austin Ekeler. If Ekeler can't go next week, Kelley will have RB2/Flex value again, but this was disappointing even though he was still the clear lead back for at least one week. |

Chargers | Justin Herbert throws for 305 yards Sun Sep 17, 04:58 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert went 27-for-41 for 305 yards and two touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2.
| Footballguys view: Herbert did fine for fantasy, mostly due to good plays by Keenan Allen and Mike Williams on the other end of his passes, but this was expected against the suspect Titans pass defense, and he still failed to finish the game that his team had many chances to win. Herbert should be a strong play next week against Vikings, but Chargers fans have to wonder how this team just finds a way to lose no matter who is playing for them. |

Chargers | Austin Ekeler ruled out Sat Sep 16, 03:09 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (ankle) was downgraded to out for Week 2 on Saturday, Sept. 16.

In Week 1 against the Dolphins, Kelley had 16 carries for 91 yards and one touchdown. He looked good in Week 1, and Kelley is an RB2 with upside this week against the Titans. |
