Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report. Fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into that because it basically means he didn't go through walkthrough. Johnston suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That being said, it wouldn't be shocking to see Johnston sit or be limited early in the week. However, the Chargers do have a short week with a matchup against the Denver Broncos on Thursday. The absence of Johnston would mean more targets for Ladd McConkey and Joshua Palmer during Thursday's Week 16 contest.



Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker made all three of his kicks in a Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Dicker made two extra points and his lone field goal attempt from 41 yards out. It was a rough game for the Chargers offense in general, which limited Dicker's opportunities. Despite a quick turnaround to be ready for Week 16 against the Broncos on Thursday Night Football, Dicker should see more chances to kick and put up a better fantasy performance.



Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer didn't do much in a Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Palmer was targeted just three times, making two catches for 10 yards total. It was a rough game for the Chargers offense in general, but Palmer certainly didn't do anything to stand out. The Bolts have a quick rest before taking on the division-rival Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. Palmer should continue as a boom-or-bust type option without much upside.



Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston made five catches and scored a touchdown in a Week 15 blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Johnston led the team with 10 targets and tied for the team lead with the five catches. He totaled 45 yards and scored his second quarter touchdown on a 13-yard pass from Justin Herbert. Johnston had several of his now-expected drops and caused Herbert to throw just his second interception of the season on a ball that he likely could and should have caught. He's a better fantasy receiver than a real life one, and as long as the Chargers keep feeding him passes, that should continue.



Los Angeles Chargers tight end Stone Smartt made five catches in a Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Smartt was targeted six times and his five catches were tied for the team lead. He ended up gaining 51 yards including a long play of 31. Smartt was a popular waiver wire addition this week after Bolts starter Will Dissly (shoulder) was confirmed out. With a quick turnaround ahead of Thursday Night Football coming up in Week 16, Smartt is expected to once again get the start at tight end and could have a similar game, putting him on the TE1/2 border.
