Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 27.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this week, the Chargers designated Hampton to return from IR. He's been limited so far this week in practice, but Hampton would be a must-start against a bad Raiders defense if he does get cleared to play in Week 13. Stay tuned. |

Link to story Chargers | Practice window opened for Omarion Hampton Tue Nov 25, 03:11 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) had his practice window opened on Tuesday, Nov. 25, to return from injured reserve. The team has 21 days to add him to the active roster.
| Footballguys view: Hampton was the 22nd overall pick in April's draft, and he started the first five games of the season for the Chargers. He ran 66 times for 314 yards and two touchdowns in those games. He also caught 20 passes for 136 yards. Kimani Vidal has been the lead back for the Chargers with Hampton, Najee Harris, and Hassan Haskins on injured reserve. Hampton will be able to practice for the next 21 days and can be activated at any point in that window. The Chargers, who had a bye in Week 12, will play the Raiders this Sunday. |

Chargers | Quentin Johnston blanked in Week 11 Sun Nov 16, 04:15 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston went without a reception on three targets in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: In short bench leagues, you might want to drop Johnston during the bye. The ceiling games we saw earlier this season just aren't going to come in the diminished version of the Chargers pass offense that when franchise left tackle Joe Alt isn't out there. |

Chargers | Tre Harris with single reception Sun Nov 16, 04:13 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Tre Harris finished with a single 12-yard reception on a lone target in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Link to story Chargers | Ladd McConkey racks up three catches Sun Nov 16, 04:09 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey finished with three receptions for 13 yards on four targets in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: McConkey was the target on an overthrown ball that ended up becoming a Justin Herbert interception. He had been consistent for fantasy lately after a slow start, but now is in a more precarious position as one of many viable targets in a shrinking pass offense. |
Chargers | Oronde Gadsden II makes two receptions Sun Nov 16, 04:05 PM
Los Angeles Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden II posted a pair of receptions for 41 yards on five targets in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars matchup has been money for tight ends in recent weeks, but the Chargers offense got very little going on the road in Week 11. Hold Gadsden through the bye and hope that some rest and healing will help this Chargers offense get back on track. |
Chargers | Keenan Allen tops charts in Week 11 Sun Nov 16, 04:01 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen posted four receptions for a team-best 53 yards on six targets in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Chargers | Amar Johnson receives two carries Sun Nov 16, 03:58 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Amar Johnson finished with two carries for eight yards in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he did not have a reception on one target.
Link to story Chargers | Kimani Vidal unable to return Sun Nov 16, 03:55 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal (thigh) finished with five carries for just 13 yards in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, while he had two receptions for minus-1 yard on two targets. He left the game due to a thigh injury, and he was unable to return.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers were terrible on both sides of the ball, so the injury didn't really change the fantasy outcome for Vidal in Week 11. We'll see if Omarion Hampton is ready to go after the Week 12 bye to end Vidal's uncanny "big game every other week" fantasy scoring pattern as the team's lead back. If we get news on Vidal's injury before the waiver wire run, we'll let you know if it's safe to drop him. |
Chargers | Trey Lance mops up in Week 11 Sun Nov 16, 03:54 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Trey Lance completed 3-of-8 passes for 37 yards and one rushing yard on three attempts in mop-up duty in the fourth quarter of the Week 11 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Chargers | Justin Herbert done for the day Sun Nov 16, 03:34 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert completed 10-of-18 passes for 81 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he ran three times for 21 yards. He was pulled in the fourth quarter with the game out of hand, as QB Trey Lance mopped up.
| Footballguys view: Herbert seemed to get shaken up by a big hit and wasn't quite the same on a miserable afternoon for the Chargers. This offense hasn't been the same without left tackle Joe Alt, which is putting Herbert's status a fantasy QB1 down the stretch into question. At least the bye is up in Week 12 so this weary team can rest and heal. |

Chargers | No designation for Ladd McConkey Fri Nov 14, 06:44 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 14, and is not on the injury report for Week 11.
| Footballguys view: Closing the week with a full practice and coming off the injury report is enough to inspire confidence in firing McConkey up as the WR1 he's been recently. |
Chargers | Quentin Johnston questionable for Week 11 Fri Nov 14, 06:38 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (shin) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 14, but is listed as questionable for Week 11.
| Footballguys view: After a blistering start to the season, injuries to the offensive line and the emergence of Oronde Gadsden II have pushed Johnston down the pecking order. He still has weekly upside, making him startable. He's more of a boom-or-bust WR3 than the must-start WR1 he appeared to be earlier in the year. |

Chargers | Oronde Gadsden set to return Fri Nov 14, 06:29 PM
Los Angeles Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden II (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 14, and is not on the injury report for Week 11.
| Footballguys view: Gadsden left last week's game early after a violent collision. He's practiced in full every day since, and there's no reason to expect he won't play his usual role. He's a plug-and-play TE1 with enough upside to be considered as a flex option. |
Chargers | Keenan Allen should be available Fri Nov 14, 06:20 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 14, and is not on the injury report for Week 11.
| Footballguys view: Allen has been getting rest both on and off the field over the past month. The 33-year-old is in a part-time role, playing 25%, 37%, and 51% of the team's snaps over the last three weeks. He's been efficient with his limited routes, but his usage pushes him into the WR4 range. |

Chargers | TE Oronde Gadsden considered day-to-day Mon Nov 10, 03:33 PM
Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden's MRI today revealed a quad bruise that now will have him "day to day," a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: While this gives Gadsden a chance to play in Week 11, Footballguys injury analyst Adam Hutchison advises us it's not a guarantee just yet. Hutchison explained that quadriceps contusions can be quite painful, as blood can pool below the muscle belly, leading to stiffness and inflammation in both the thigh and knee. This often limits mobility and can prolong the recovery of athletes. For that reason, Hutchison projects Gadsden to miss Week 11. We will, of course, follow up as developments warrant. |
Chargers | Oronde Gadsden to have MRI Mon Nov 10, 09:18 AM
Los Angeles Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden II (knee) will undergo an MRI on his knee Monday, Nov. 10.
| Footballguys view: Gadsden left the Week 10 game against the Steelers in the second half. He went to the locker room in the fourth quarter, and he did not return. Before his exit, Gadsden had caught three of his six targets for 13 yards. Losing Gadsden would be significant. He had been a revelation as the top target at tight end for Justin Herbert, averaging 14.2 yards per catch. The Chargers play the Jaguars in Week 11. We'll be watching for more. |
Chargers | Ten targets for Quentin Johnston Mon Nov 10, 03:29 AM

Chargers | Ladd McConkey tops century mark Mon Nov 10, 01:47 AM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey ended up with four receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Kris Rhim suggested, McConkey's role in this offense had diminished as receivers Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston were more productive through the opening weeks of the season. But that has changed in recent weeks. McConkey appears back to being the Chargers' top receiving threat and finished Sunday night with four catches for 107 yards and a touchdown. He leads the Chargers in receiving yards and is second in receptions. The Chargers play the Jaguars in Week 11. |
Chargers | Oronde Gadsden II leaves with knee issue Mon Nov 10, 01:40 AM
Los Angeles Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden II (knee) left the Week 10 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a knee injury in the second half. He went to the locker room in the fourth quarter, and he did not return.
| Footballguys view: Before his exit, Gadsden had caught three of his six targets for 13 yards on a night Ladd McConkey handled the bulk of the receiving work with four catches for 107 yards and a score. Even so, Gadsden's loss is significant. He had been a revelation as the top target at tight end for Justin Herbert, really only getting run over the last few games and catching 32 passes with two scores while averaging 14.2 yards per catch. The Chargers play the Jaguars in Week 11. We'll be watching for more. |
Chargers | Keenan Allen is new franchise leader Mon Nov 10, 01:30 AM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen had two receptions for just 19 yards on five targets in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he was able to move past former TE Antonio Gates for the all-time franchise record in receptions (956).
| Footballguys view: It appeared as if Allen wouldn't get the record after having only one catch late in the fourth quarter. But on the Chargers' final drive, the team ran a shovel pass to Allen to get him over the hump. After the game, Allen told NBC that he drew up the toss play. Allen played his first 11 seasons with the Chargers, emerging as one of the great receivers in team history. After spending a season in Chicago, Allen re-signed with the Chargers in August and has continued solidifying his place as one of the best players in team history. |
