Los Angeles Chargers

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly had 46 receiving yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals. While Dissly was the one who scored, it was Colby Parkinson who saw the biggest increase in snaps after the early departure of Noah Fant (hand) due to injury. Both tight ends tied with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba to lead the team in receptions with three apiece. In a season where Seattle's offensive line was often injured and struggling to hold their ground, the Seahawks rotated their tight ends frequently and utilized them as extra blockers more often than not. As such, the touchdown was Dissly was rarely involved in the passing game and his production in Week 18 leaves him with a final tally of 17 catches for 172 yards and one touchdown in 2023.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker scored all of the Chargers points for a second game in a row in a Week 18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs backup squad. Dicker made all four of his field goal tries to wrap up an impressive season in which he was one of the few bright spots for a slumping Los Angeles team. Week 18 saw Dicker make field goals from 49, 40, 43, and 20 yards out. For the first time in a long time, the Chargers had a solid special teams unit this season. The problem was, the offense and defense were both mired in season-long slumps.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston made two catches against the Kansas City Chiefs backups in Week 18 to finally and mercifully end his tough rookie season. Johnston, who was drafted in the first round, ended up making just 38 catches for 431 yards and two touchdowns all year. In Week 18, he turned five targets into two catches for 17 yards. He'll be back for the 2024 season with a whole new coach and (likely) offensive coordinator, so it will be interesting to see if they will be able to turn around one of the biggest busts of the 2023 draft.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer made six catches in the final Chargers game of the season, a Week 18 loss to the backups of the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer was targeted a team-high 10 times, making his six catches for 44 yards. It was a tough end to the season for the Chargers passing game, who had to watch Easton Stick only throw touchdowns in one of his four starts. Palmer flashed a few times while on the field this season, but injuries slowed him down a bit and he's not quite suited to be a team's WR1. He missed some time with a concussion and then was forced to leave this game early due to a knee injury.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick had another struggle game in a Week 18 matchup against an all-backups version of the Kansas City Chiefs. Stick threw the ball 47 times, completing 28 passes for 258 empty yards. He added 77 yards on the ground on 13 carries and lost a fumble along the way. It was yet another game without a passing touchdown for Stick, who ends the season with three total passing touchdowns, all of which came in the same Week 14 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Chargers will have starter Justin Herbert back for Week 1 next season, but the backup quarterback position is certainly something they'll need to address sooner than later.
