Gus Edwards

LAC Running Back #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) was limited in Tuesday’s practice.

Edwards has been the lead back since J.K. Dobbins (knee) went down. Though Dobbins’ 21-day practice window is open, Edwards is still tracking to be the lead back against the Patriots on Saturday. He was listed as limited due to an ankle injury, but there are no indications this is a major issue. Expect Edwards to be active and take on goal-line opportunities for Week 17.
Will Dissly

LAC Tight End #81

Chargers TE Will Dissly (shoulder) limited in Tuesday’s practice.

Dissly continues to work his way back from a shoulder injury. Fellow TE Hayden Hurst did not practice, though given he was listed with an illness, Hurst has a chance to play on Saturday. Both Dissly and Hurst could be active against the Patriots, making neither of them, nor Stone Smartt, a top-20 tight end play.
J.K. Dobbins

LAC Running Back #27

Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) was limited in Tuesday’s practice.

The Chargers opened Dobbins’ 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve on Monday. He was listed as limited due to his knee injury on Tuesday, but given it is his first week practice, it is unlikely Dobbins will return for Week 17. His potential return won’t have a fantasy impact, but will have a real-football impact as the Chargers could get him back for a playoff run.
J.K. Dobbins

LAC Running Back #27

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said the Chargers are designating J.K. Dobbins (knee) to return.

His 21-day window will open today. Dobbins has missed Los Angeles’ last four games on injured reserve. That’s not exactly a promise that Dobbins will come back this week, but he could cut into Gus Edwards’ work as soon as this week against the Patriots. Practice reports will tell the rest of the tale on Dobbins’ recovery.
Ladd McConkey

LAC Wide Receiver #15

Ladd McConkey caught 6-of-6 targets for 87 yards in the Chargers’ Week 16 win over the Broncos.

McConkey did much of his damage on a 27-yard connection with Justin Herbert early in the game, but it was another effective outing for the rookie out of Georgia. This makes five consecutive contests that he’s picked up at least five receptions, and he’s picked up at least 80 yards in four of those five games. Simply put, McConkey has been very impressive in his rookie campaign, and there’s no reason to think it won’t keep going against the Patriots in Week 17.
Hassan Haskins

LAC Running Back #28

Hassan Haskins caught 2-of-2 targets for 39 yards with a touchdown in the Chargers’ Week 16 win over the Broncos.

Haskins took a shovel pass from Justin Herbert late in the fourth quarter for 34 yards and a touchdown. Considering he had all of 26 yards combined in his previous action, it’s fair to say this was almost assuredly a one-off. Haskins won’t see many touches in Week 17 against the Patriots barring something unforeseeable.
Quentin Johnston

LAC Wide Receiver #1

Quentin Johnston caught 3-of-6 targets for 18 yards in the Chargers’ Week 16 win over the Broncos.

Johnston did tie for the team lead with six targets, but he wasn’t able to do much with them while seeing his touchdown streak end at two. He also had a heinous drop near the end of the game, because of course he did. There’s no denying Johnston’s talent nor that he’s shown vast improvement over his rookie season, but this is still much more of a long-term play than one you can trust going forward as more than a WR4. He’ll look to bounce back against the Patriots in Week 17.
Derius Davis

LAC Wide Receiver #12

Derius Davis caught 2-of-2 targets for 39 yards with a touchdown in the Chargers’ Week 16 win over the Broncos.

Davis scored his first first touchdown as a receiver — he picked up a touchdown as a returner in 2023 — on a 19-yard connection with Justin Herbert where he showed good concentration on a tipped pass.. The 24-year-old has yet to pick up more than two catches in a game, and that likely won’t change in Week 17 against the Patriots.
Joshua Palmer

LAC Wide Receiver #5

Joshua Palmer caught 3-of-6 targets for 41 yards in the Chargers’ Week 16 win over the Broncos.

Palmer tied with Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston with those six targets, but he and Justin Herbert just missed on a few plays down the field. They didn’t miss on a two-point conversion where Palmer batted the ball to himself with one hand before getting both toes down for a spectacular conversion. Palmer will be a desperation play in the Chargers’ offense for the remainder of the year, with his next chance for success coming in Week 17 against the Patriots.
Gus Edwards

LAC Running Back #4

Gus Edwards rushed 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in the Chargers’ Week 16 win over the Broncos.

Edwards also caught one pass for two yards. The tailback was completely held in check outside of the touchdowns until he had a 43-yard burst late in the game to make this statline look much more “even” in terms of the touchdowns and rushing yards. The two scores double his total on the season to four, and the yardage total is a season high. It’s also worth noting that the 14 carries nearly tripled Kimani Vidal’s five attempts (for 14 yards), so to say he was the top option in the rushing attack is an understatement. Edwards will be a FLEX option for Week 17 against the Patriots.
