Los Angeles Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards scored a touchdown against his former team, the Baltimore Ravens, in a Week 12 loss. Edwards ran the ball nine times, gaining just 11 yards total, but one of them was a one-yard plunge into the end zone in the fourth quarter. With J.K. Dobbins (knee) forced to exit the game and possibly looking at missing more time, Edwards could see a jump to the top of the depth chart before next week's game against the Atlanta Falcons. While he hasn't shown much burst at all this season, any lead back is worth fantasy consideration if that's where Edwards ends up.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert disappointed in a Week 12 Monday Night Football loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Herbert attempted 36 passes, completing 21 of them for 218 yards. He took four sacks, losing 16 yards. He fumbled once, but it was recovered by the Chargers. He added four rushes for 29 yards on the ground, including a touchdown on a five-yard run in the first quarter. Herbert was ranked as one of the top quarterbacks this week since the Ravens defense has struggled all year against the pass, but he was unable to get anything consistent going. Some bad routes, bad calls, and bad drops didn't help. Herbert and the Bolts will face off against the Falcons in Week 13.

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) has been downgraded to out and won't return in the second half of the Monday night game against the Baltimore Ravens. Dobbins injured his knee in the first half and was seen going back into the locker room just before halftime. The 25-year-old tested out a brace on his injured knee on the sidelines but never made it back into the game. Before leaving, he had six rushing attempts for 40 yards and caught three of five targets for 19 yards. It was shaping up to be a pretty productive game for Dobbins against his former team. Gus Edwards and Hassan Haskins have taken over the backfield in the second half and would both be worth looking at off the waiver wire if Dobbins' injury is serious enough to put him in danger of missing the Week 13 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Dobbins' injury history makes this a pretty worrisome development for his fantasy managers and the Chargers.

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is currently considered questionable to return for Monday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Dobbins made an early exit to the locker room due to an apparent knee issue. The good news is that Dobbins was able to leave the field under his own power. It doesn't sound like too serious of an issue, but more information should be known soon. Dobbins rushed six times for 40 yards while hauling in three receptions for 19 yards before exiting ahead of halftime. If he remains out, Gus Edwards figures to serve as the lead back for the rest of the night.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (shoulder) is officially active on Monday night to face the visiting Baltimore Ravens, as expected. McConkey will end up playing despite being listed as questionable on the final Week 12 injury report. It's excellent news for the Chargers offense, fantasy managers that rolled the dice on McCaffrey despite his questionable tag, and quarterback Justin Herbert's fantasy value in a plus-plus matchup. The Ravens defense has allowed the most half-PPR fantasy points to receivers this year. Meanwhile, McConkey has been Herbert's favorite target, as he leads the team with 43 receptions, 615 receiving yards and four touchdowns in his first 10 NFL games. The second-round selection out of Georgia could feast on Monday night. Both of his 100-yard games in 2024 have come in the last four games, including in the Week 11 win over the Bengals.
