Los Angeles Chargers DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

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.

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin hauled in two of his three targets for 16 yards in a Week 18 win over the New England Patriots. While this was a quiet showing from Conklin, none of the pass-catching options on either team made much of an impact on Sunday in the snowy Foxborough weather. New York relied heavily on its rushing attack, finishing the contest with just 70 passing yards. Conklin will conclude the campaign with a career-best 621 receiving yards while tying his career-high of 61 receptions. He unfortunately did not record a touchdown this season and will hope to have more success with Aaron Rodgers under center in 2024.

New England Patriots wide receiver Jalen Reagor turned six targets into just one catch for 33 yards during Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. He also added a 17-yard rush. Reagor led all Patriots wide receivers in targets and yards on Sunday, but that's not saying an awful lot considering how much the passing game faltered. Reagor won't be a priority re-signing for the Patriots this offseason, and it's hard to envision a scenario in which he has fantasy relevance next year.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 18 versus the New Orleans Saints. He had been listed as questionable and was optimistic about his availability, but it appears that he wasn't quite healthy enough to play. In his absence, Desmond Ridder will return to the starting quarterback role. The 24-year-old has appeared in 14 games this season, completing 63.4 percent of his passes for 2,545 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He also has 193 rushing yards, five rushing touchdowns, 31 sacks, and six lost fumbles. Fantasy managers should view Ridder as a fringe QB2 option heading into Sunday's contest.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke (ankle) is hopeful that he can play against the New Orleans Saints in Week 18, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. However, he'll be monitored during pregame warmups before the team makes an official decision on his status. The 30-year-old has struggled over the last two weeks, completing just 53 percent of his passes for 392 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. He remains off the fantasy radar for the time being.
