Lance appeared in four games for the Chargers last year and completed 27-of-57 passes for 226 yards and an interception. He started the final game of the regular season and suffered a 19-3 loss to Denver. Lance completed only 20-of-44 passes for 136 yards in the setback, but did add 69 yards rushing. Lance has played four seasons in the NFL, throwing for 1,289 yards and five touchdowns while adding 361 yards on the ground. He'll serve as the backup to Justin Herbert again in 2026.

Trey Lance completed 20-of-44 passing attempts for 136 yards and an interception while adding 69 yards on the ground in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Fantasy Impact

Lance got the start on Sunday with Justin Herbert inactive for the Chargers. The 25-year old struggled against Denver's defense, as he committed two turnovers and failed to lead Los Angeles to even one touchdown over the course of the afternoon. He is set to become a free agent after this season but will likely remain nothing more than a depth piece wherever he lands.

Chargers QB Trey Lance is in line to start against the Broncos in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact

The Chargers plan to rest their starters in the season finale. Trey Lance is expected to start and could be a sneaky DFS option.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Trey Lance will get first-team practice reps in goal-line scenarios this week.

Fantasy Impact

Justin Herbert suffered a hand injury that prohibited him from taking any snaps under center. While he is expected to undergo surgery on Monday, he still has a chance to play in Week 14, but Lance could see some snaps in short-yardage situations. This will remain a situation to monitor the rest of the week.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Trey Lance is expected to be the team's starting quarterback entering their final preseason game on Saturday, Aug. 23, against his former team, the San Francisco 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Lance started in the Hall of Fame Game before taking the backseat in preseason Week 1 (Taylor Heinicke) and Week 2 (Justin Herbert). Herbert and the rest of the starters will sit out the preseason finale, while Lance will play 1-2 series, Heinicke will play 1-2 series, and DJ Uiagalelei will close out the contest. Lance has had promising moments this preseason and could use this opportunity to push for the QB2 job.
