Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers D/ST forced five turnovers while also recording four sacks in a 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact: The defense made up for an underwhelming performance from their offense, allowing less than 200 passing yards in a losing effort. The unit will look for more success in a tough Week 4 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Cameron Dicker converted 3-of-4 field goal attempts while also making his lone extra point attempt to finish with 10 points in the Chargers' 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact: Dicker made the most of increased opportunities for head coach Jim Harbaugh, finishing with more than two points for the first time in three contests. The kicker has fallen victim to kicking behind an underwhelming Chargers offense to begin the season, with a Week 4 contest against the Seattle Seahawks up next.

Justin Herbert completed 20-of-34 pass attempts for 226 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while also rushing four times for 17 yards in the Chargers' 24-16 Week 3 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Impact: Herbert has struggled to make an impact behind center to begin the season, finishing with less than 230 passing yards in each of the first three contests. The quarterback will look to break out of his early season struggles as part of an underperforming Chargers offense against a tough Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 4.

Omarion Hampton carried the ball 15 times for 56 yards while also failing to catch his lone target in the Chargers' 24-16 Week 3 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Impact: Hampton struggled to find consistent running room Sunday, rushing for less than 60 yards for the second time in the first three contests. The running back remains one of the more reliable options as part of an inconsistent Chargers offense to begin the season, with a Week 4 contest against the Seattle Seahawks up next.

Ladd McConkey hauled in four of his five targets for 66 yards in the Chargers' 24-16 Week 3 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Impact: McConkey has made the most of inconsistent involvement in the Los Angeles passing attack to begin the season, posting over 65 receiving yards in two of the first three contests. The wideout remains one of the more dynamic options in an underperforming Chargers offense early on, with a tough Week 4 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks up next.

Quentin Johnston caught three of his six targets for 40 yards in the Chargers' 24-16 Week 3 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Impact: Johnston has struggled to capitalize on a generous target share early in the season, recording three receptions or less on 17 total targets in the first three contests. The wideout remains one of many risky pass-catching options in an underperforming Chargers offense early on, with a Week 4 contest against the Seattle Seahawks up next.

Keaton Mitchell rushed eight times for 52 yards while also catching each of his three targets for -5 yards and one touchdown in the Chargers' 24-16 Week 3 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Impact: Mitchell has made a modest impact out of the backfield to begin the season, finishing with less than 50 offensive yards in each of the first three games. The running back remains one of many in an underperforming Chargers offense difficult to trust ahead of a Week 4 contest against the Seattle Seahawks.

Tre' Harris hauled in six of his team-high seven targets for 76 yards in the Chargers' 24-16 Week 3 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Impact: Harris has capitalized on inconsistent usage in the Los Angeles offense of late, leading the team in receiving yards in each of the last two games. The wideout remains one of the more stable pass-catching options as part of an underwhelming Chargers offense to begin the season, with a Week 4 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks up next.

Oronde Gadsden II failed to catch any of his three targets in the Chargers' 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact: Gadsden II has been minimally involved in the Los Angeles passing attack early on, seeing three targets or less in each of the first three games. The tight end remains difficult to trust ahead of a Week 4 contest against the Seattle Seahawks.

Kimani Vidal rushed once for six yards while also catching one of his three targets for 14 yards in the Chargers' 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact: Vidal has struggled to make an impact to begin the season, recording his first touches in three games in Sunday's loss. The running back can remain off rosters until further notice, with a Week 4 contest against the Seattle Seahawks up next.

Alec Ingold caught three of his four targets for 35 yards in the Chargers' 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact: Ingold has been non-existent in the Los Angeles passing attack to begin the season, seeing his first targets in three games in Sunday's loss. The fullback can be left off rosters in all formats ahead of a Week 4 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling failed to catch his only target in the Chargers' 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact: Valdes-Scantling saw minimal involvement in the passing attack after being added to the active roster earlier in the week, finishing last on the team in targets. The veteran wideout can remain off rosters in all formats, with a Week 4 contest against the Seattle Seahawks up next.

Fantasy Impact: Thompson remains off the fantasy radar in his current role.

Fantasy Impact: Awosika was not able to practice due to a leg injury on Wednesday. Los Angeles currently has several starting linemen who are dealing with an injury right now, so their front five may be weaker than usual in a tough matchup against the Bills this week.

Fantasy Impact: Los Angeles has multiple starting linemen on their injury report right now, including Strange, who was limited at practice due to a pec injury. He looks likely to play in Week 3, although we won't know for sure until later on in the week.

Rashawn Slater (groin) was listed as a limited participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Los Angeles Chargers on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Slater is a new addition to Los Angeles' injury report, being listed with a groin issue that left him limited at practice on Wednesday. It doesn't seem serious enough to prevent him from playing in Week 3, however, which is good news for Los Angeles' entire offense.

Charlie Kolar (arm) won't land on injured reserve but is going to be sidelined for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. (Source: Kris Rhim on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Chargers were initially planning on placing Kolar on injured reserve, but after the procedure on his arm, they feel confident that he won't miss four or more weeks and are opting to keep him on the active roster. He is not going to play in Week 3, but he should be back sometime within the next few weeks, which is less than ideal for the fantasy value of Oronde Gadsden II.

The Chargers signed TE Hayden Rucci off the Jaguars’ practice squad.

Fantasy Impact: Rucci is a depth addition for the Chargers with David Njoku and Charlie Kolar placed on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact: Njoku was carted off the field in Sunday's game against the Raiders. With Charlie Kolar (forearm) also placed on IR, Oronde Gadsden is the only healthy tight end on the Chargers right now.

Fantasy Impact: Jennings was released by the Chargers last week. He returns with Keandre Lambert-Smith placed on IR.
