Los Angeles Chargers DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (shoulder, knee) won't play in Sunday night's meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. The wideout was labeled as a "true game-time decision." Unfortunately, the latest update just confirms what most fantasy managers had already anticipated. Without McConkey, who has had a quality rookie season, Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer are in line for more attention from Justin Herbert. Will Dissly should also get more involved.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (shoulder, knee) is considered a true game-time decision to play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. This development puts fantasy managers in a bind: McConkey is an effective WR2 option if he plays, but as the Sunday Night Football game, managers are out of runway if he's ruled out. Tight end Will Dissly has quickly vaulted to second on the team in targets, while receivers Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnson are low-volume options who could see a boost if McConkey doesn't play.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker will look for another strong performance on Sunday Night Football in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Dicker has been solid and consistent in his sophomore season, much as he was his rookie year. He's finished as a top-15 fantasy kicker in nine of his 12 games, and a top-eight option six times. There's no reason to think he won't repeat a similar performance in what should be a close divisional clash.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly is set up for a strong comeback game in a Week 14 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Dissly put up a whole entire zero points last week, but he'd been a solid and consistent tight end option for several weeks in a row before that. The best bet is likely to chalk up the zero as a fluke and trust Dissly for another solid week of production, especially against a Chiefs defense that has allowed the most receiving yards and the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Dissly is right on the TE1/2 border, with a high floor (despite last week's zero) and a decently high ceiling. Both floor and ceiling go up significantly if Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) is unable to play.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer could have some fantasy value in a Week 14 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer hasn't done much this season, peaking with a WR22 finish in Week 9 and finishing as a top-36 option at his position only twice. But this week, with Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) questionable and possibly limited if he plays, Palmer could see a more important role in the passing game. The Chiefs defense is elite against running plays but has struggled against outside wide receivers, especially recently. If McConkey doesn't play, Palmer could be a deep league FLEX option.
