Los Angeles Chargers DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (knee) caught nine of 11 targets for 117 yards before exiting during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. McConkey was seen limping repeatedly throughout the game, and the injury evidently worsened enough that the rookie needed to depart the contest in the final quarter. The Chargers listed McConkey as questionable to return, but he ultimately stayed on the sideline for the rest of the game. He has been one of the NFL's most productive rookie receivers this season, catching 58 passes for 815 yards and four touchdowns. He'll rank as a WR2 in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs, but only if he's healthy enough to play. Fantasy managers should monitor his status on the Chargers' injury reports next week.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Kimani Vidal should be back on the field in a Week 13 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Vidal has been inactive since Week 9, but with J.K. Dobbins (knee) heading to IR, Vidal should at least play a small role going forward. He has the talent to overtake the veterans currently ahead of him, Gus Edwards and Hassan Haskins. The Chargers will probably give the reins to Edwards this week, but Vidal is worth stashing for the fantasy playoffs.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (groin) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Friday. He has been removed from the injury report and cleared to play against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13. Dissly has delivered solid production over the last six weeks, catching 28 passes for 288 yards and one touchdown during that span. Since Week 7, he ranks as the overall TE12 in PPR leagues. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy him as a fringe top-12 option this week against the Falcons, who have been near the middle of the road with the 14th-most fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends in 2024.

After a hot stretch in the middle of the campaign, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has quieted down in recent weeks with fewer than 70 rushing yards in three straight contests. He could struggle again in Week 13 in a tough divisional matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals give up plenty of points to opposing teams but have been shutting down the running game for most of the season. It is worth noting, however, that Cincinnati has surrendered the fifth-most rushing touchdowns to running backs. With Jaylen Warren mixing in to split touches with Harris, it's difficult to project Harris for a lot of yardage on Sunday, so fantasy managers may be disappointed with his output unless he falls into the end zone. Because of this, Harris should be viewed as just a low-end RB2 in most formats.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is once again an excellent fantasy option in Week 13 lineups when the Chargers face the Atlanta Falcons. Dicker has been consistent with nice upside all season, scoring nine or more fantasy points in six of the past seven games. Kicker is always fantasy's most unpredictable position, but Dicker has been as close to a K1 lock as can be, and should be right back in that ranking this week.
