Otito

Ogbonnia

Guyton opened the season on the physically unable to perform list as he continued to rehab from a torn ACL from last season. Serving primarily as a field stretcher who is seldom targeted, Guyton won’t have much fantasy upside whenever he returns. His 21-day window has been officially opened, giving the Chargers three weeks to activate him or rule him out for the season. They also opened the 21-day window for defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia.

Ogbonnia was drafted in the fifth round of this year’s draft and appeared in seven games for the Chargers. Yesterday’s loss to the 49ers marked Ogbonnia’s first-career start, but he appeared on just 10 defensive snaps before being carted from the field. Ogbonnia totaled 14 tackles and one TFL this season.

Allen was ruled out on Friday after appearing to re-injure his hamstring in practice. C Corey Linsley (knee) is active after missing practice on Friday. Also inactive for the Chargers are TE Donald Parham (hamstring), DL Otito Ogbonnia, QB Easton Stick, RB Isaiah Spiller, and S J.T. Woods

Finally a full-time starter in 2021, Ogbonnia (6’4/320) put together his most productive season. The senior totaled 27 tackles, five TFL, and two sacks while also applying 14 QB pressures. Ogbonnia doesn’t excel as a pass rusher but offers some upside in run defense. Even still, as we saw last season against USC, Ogbonnia struggles to consistently get push against opposing offensive linemen. He uses strong hands and punches to separate from blockers, but can also be moved off-balance with relative ease. His 4.79 relative athletic score is just above average, and he leaves a lot to be desired athletically. Ogbonnia will be best suited as an early-down run stopper.
