Los Angeles Chargers DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer made just one catch in a Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Palmer saw just one target thrown his way and turned it into an 11-yard catch. Those 11 yards were good enough for third on the team in receiving yards in a game where the Chargers pass game focused in on rookie Ladd McConkey (knee). Palmer should see at least a few more targets next week against the Kansas City Chiefs, especially if McConkey is forced to miss time.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston made two catches in a 17-13 Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Johnston was second on the team in targets with four, catches with two, and receiving yards with 12. It was the Ladd McConkey show (nine catches on 12 targets for 117 yards), so other Bolts relievers didn't get too many chances even though McConkey was forced to leave the game early with a knee injury. Johnston's role would obviously grow significantly if McConkey is forced to miss time, but he'll still be a risky fantasy option in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Kimani Vidal recorded four carries in a Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Active for the first time since Week 8, Vidal played alongside nominal starter Gus Edwards with J.K. Dobbins (knee) on IR. Vidal ended up gaining 20 yards with his four carries, most of it on a solid 16-yard run. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. His role could grow as the Chargers will need some different looks out of the backfield next week against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards carried the ball six times in a Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He gained 32 yards on the ground, with a long of 12 yards. In the passing game, he was targeted once, making a one-yard catch on the play. As expected, Edwards took the starting role in the backfield with J.K. Dobbins (knee) on IR, but the touches just weren't there, as the Bolts ran the ball only 17 times total, split between five different players. Edwards and the whole Chargers offense will likely need to do a lot more next week when they take on the division-leading Kansas City Chiefs.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert game managed his way to a 17-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13. Herbert didn't put up a strong fantasy performance despite a good matchup, but despite the close final score, the Chargers seemed mostly in control throughout the game. Herbert ended up attempting 23 passes, completing 16 of them for 147 yards. He took five sacks, losing 19 yards, but didn't throw any touchdowns or interceptions. On the ground, Herbert turned five "carries" into one total yard. The Bolts will face the Chiefs in Week 14, where Herbert will almost certainly have to do a lot more.
