Keenan Allen Keenan Allen One long catch
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 9:52 PM
Allen recorded two receptions on five targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Justin Herbert distributed targets evenly among his top pass catchers, as Allen tied for second on the team in targets with Oronde Gadsden and Quentin Johnston. Allen finished with the lowest yardage total of that group, with nearly all of his production coming on a 31-yard catch late in the first quarter. After a hot start to the season, Allen has now recorded 50 receiving yards or fewer in three of the last four games. |

Quentin Johnston Quentin Johnston Gets back on track
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 8:54 PM
Johnston recorded four receptions on five targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Johnston bounced back from a zero-target performance in Week 8, thanks primarily to 23- and 19-yard receptions -- the latter of which went for a touchdown. Most importantly, he seemed to regain his role in the Chargers' offense, matching Keenan Allen and Oronde Gadsden in targets. Overall, Johnston logged his highest yardage total since Week 4 and is likely to remain a volatile fantasy performer, though he has a touchdown in five of eight games this season |

Oronde Gadsden Oronde Gadsden Leading receiver in win
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 8:48 PM
Gadsden recorded five receptions on five targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Justin Herbert distributed targets extremely evenly among all of his top pass catchers, including Gadsden. Even so, Gadsden narrowly led the team in receiving yards, thanks primarily to a long 34-yard catch that came just short of the end zone. This was the fourth consecutive game that Gadsden has had at least five receptions and 65 receiving yards, and he's quickly become a reliable starting tight end in all formats. |

Kimani Vidal Kimani Vidal Can't get going against Titans
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 8:32 PM
Vidal logged 12 rushes for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans. He did not catch his lone target.
Analysis: Vidal had high expectations entering this favorable matchup, but he instead might have ceded clear lead-back duties while Omarion Hampton (ankle) remains sidelined. Vidal led the Chargers backfield in carries 8-2 at halftime, but he was out-carried by Jarrett Patterson 7-4 in the final two quarters. While it's possible that had to do with game script, the Chargers only briefly held a two-score lead and Patterson was also more effective with his work. Vidal should remain in fantasy consideration so long as Hampton is out, but his role is a bit murkier moving forward. |

Justin Herbert Justin Herbert Efficient in Week 9 win
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 5:15 PM
Herbert completed 19 of 29 passes for 250 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans. He added nine rushes for 57 yards and an additional score.
Analysis: Herbert accounted for the majority of his production in the first half, racking up 186 yards on 20 attempts through two quarters. He was efficient throughout the game, completing five passes of 20 yards while also tossing for scores of 19 and two yards. While Herbert was limited as a passer in the second half due to game script, he managed to punch in his third touchdown of the contest with a one-yard rushing score early in the fourth quarter. Herbert now has multiple touchdowns in four consecutive matchups heading into a Week 10 game against Pittsburgh. |

Ladd McConkey Ladd McConkey Seven targets in win
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 4:00 PM
McConkey recorded four receptions on seven targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.
Analysis: The Chargers didn't hold as comfortable a lead as expected in the game, but they were still very run-heavy in the second half. Between the game plan and a relatively flat distribution of targets, McConkey turned in a modest performance and his lowest yardage total since Week 5. While it was underwhelming production, McConkey still led the team in targets. He should be able to bounce back in Week 10 against Pittsburgh. |

Will Dissly Will Dissly Won't play against Tennessee
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 10:42 AM
Dissly (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Analysis: Dissly ended Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited practices while working through an illness. He has not been cleared to play Sunday, so the Chargers will have three tight ends on the active roster in Oronde Gadsden, Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin. Dissly's next opportunity to play is Week 10 against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 9. |

Jaret Patterson Jaret Patterson Elevated for second straight week
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 7:54 PM
Patterson was elevated from the Chargers' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Patterson will be elevated to the active roster for the second straight week as the Chargers have an injury-riddled running back room. He had 11 rushing attempts in a blowout win over the Vikings in Week 8 and could be the primary change-of-pace back to Kimani Vidal. |
|
Amar Johnson Amar Johnson Joins active roster
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 7:52 PM
Johnson was elevated from the Chargers' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Johnson has spent the entire regular season with the Chargers' practice squad, and Sunday will mark his first chance to be active on game day. He could have a small offensive role, as Kimani Vidal will be the only healthy running back that is currently signed to the active roster for a Week 9 matchup against the Titans. |

Hassan Haskins Hassan Haskins Lands on injured reserve
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 3:12 PM
The Chargers placed Haskins (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Haskins was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans due to a hamstring injury that he sustained during the Chargers' Week 7 loss to the Colts. The injury is severe enough for the fourth-year pro to warrant a stint on injured reserve, which will force him to miss at least the next four games, making Week 14 against the Eagles on Monday, Dec. 8 the earliest he can be activated from IR. Kimani Vidal will be the Chargers' clear RB1 moving forward with Haskins joining fellow running backs Omarion Hampton (ankle) and Najee Harris (Achilles) on injured reserve. The Chargers elevated Jaret Patterson and Amar Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster to provide backfield depth behind Vidal for Week 9. |

Will Dissly Will Dissly Questionable for Week 9
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 3:35 PM
Dissly (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: With Oronde Gadsden taking over tight-end duties for the Chargers in recent weeks, Dissly has fallen out of favor in Los Angeles, as he was a healthy inactive in Week 8 against the Vikings. |
|
Hassan Haskins Hassan Haskins Not playing in Week 9
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 3:00 PM
Haskins (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Tennessee.
Analysis: Haskins hasn't been able to practice since he injured his hamstring during a Week 7 loss to the Colts and will miss a second consecutive contest as a result. The Chargers currently have only one healthy running back (Kimani Vidal) on the active roster with Omarion Hampton (ankle) still on injured reserve, so the team will need to bring up reinforcements from the practice squad, where Jaret Patterson, Amar Johnson and Trayveon Williams currently reside, to round out the backfield this weekend. |

Ladd McConkey Ladd McConkey Cleared for Sunday's game
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 2:53 PM
McConkey (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans after being listed as a full participant on Friday's practice estimate.
Analysis: McConkey was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but his full listing in Friday's walkthrough sets the stage for the wideout to be available this weekend. In the Chargers' 37-10 win over the Vikings in Week 8, McConkey caught six of his team-high 10 targets for 88 yards and a TD, which upped his receiving line through eight games to 43-468-3 on 68 targets, a pace that keeps the 2024 second-rounder firmly on the weekly fantasy lineup radar. |

Will Dissly Will Dissly Returns to practice Thursday
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 4:18 PM
Dissly (illness) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The veteran tight end was cleared to return to practice in a limited capacity after missing Wednesday's session due to an illness. Dissly is trending toward being available for Sunday's game against the Titans, though he was a healthy scratch for Week 8 as the Chargers went with three active tight ends in Oronde Gadsden, Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin. |

Ladd McConkey Ladd McConkey Logs another limited practice Thursday
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 4:08 PM
McConkey (calf) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: McConkey also was limited Wednesday, so the wideout has one more chance to upgrade to full participation before the Chargers assign injury designations for Sunday's game against the Titans. In his team's 37-10 win over the Vikings in Week 8, McConkey caught six of of a team-high 10 targets for 88 yards and a TD. |

Hassan Haskins Hassan Haskins Still not practicing
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 2:42 PM
Haskins (hamstring) isn't practicing Thursday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: That's now five straight missed practices for Haskins since he hurt his hamstring against the Colts in Week 7. His status for Sunday's matchup versus Tennessee is in considerable peril, and whether he even has a chance to suit up in that game should be known upon the submission of Friday's final injury report. Kimani Vidal should continue to lead the Chargers' running-back corps regardless of whether Haskins is able to suit up, but another absence by the latter would likely result in Jaret Patterson being elevated from the practice squad again for the contest against the Titans. |

Will Dissly Will Dissly Under the weather
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 7:38 PM
Dissly did not practice Wednesday due to an illness.
Analysis: Dissly will have two more opportunities to recover enough to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. He was a healthy scratch for Week 8 against the Vikings, so there's no guarantee that he would be active for Week 9 even if he recovered enough to avoid an injury designation. Dissly appears to have been phased out of the Chargers' offensive gameplan due to the emergence of rookie fifth-rounder Oronde Gadsden while Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin provide depth at tight end. |

Ladd McConkey Ladd McConkey Limited by calf injury
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 5:38 PM
McConkey (calf) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: While recording a 58 percent snap share in the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Vikings, McConkey caught six of of a team-high 10 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown. The wideout -- who has put up a 43/468/3 receiving line in eight contests to date -- now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level in advance of Sunday's game against the Titans. |

Hassan Haskins Hassan Haskins Remains sidelined Wednesday
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 4:01 PM
Haskins (hamstring) is not practicing Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Haskins wasn't able to suit up for Los Angeles' win over the Vikings on Thursday Night Football in Week 8, and it looks like his status remains up in the air heading into a road matchup against the Titans on Sunday. If Haskins remains sidelined versus Tennessee, Jaret Patterson will stand to be elevated from the practice squad again and work as the No. 2 backfield option behind lead back Kimani Vidal. |

Nyheim Hines Nyheim Hines Reverts to practice squad
Fri, Oct 24, 2025, 5:24 PM
Hines reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Hines and Jaret Patterson were both elevated to the Chargers' active roster for Thursday's game against the Vikings due to the absences of Hassan Haskins (hamstring) and Omarion Hampton (ankle). Hines saw just seven snaps (four on offense, three on special teams) while logging two carries for minus-2 yards, and he was the Chargers' clear RB3 behind Kimani Vidal (54 offensive snaps) and Patterson (15 offensive snaps). Hines has been elevated from the practice squad by the Chargers three times this season, which is the maximum amount. He would have to be signed to the active roster in order to play for the Chargers for the rest of the season. |
