Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. We don’t have a timetable for his return, but it wouldn’t be at all surprising if he misses multiple games. Dobbins’ absence figures to leave Gus Edwards as Los Angeles’ lead runner this weekend, but he’ll cede passing-down work to RBs Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal.
Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins will miss time with a knee sprain he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Ravens, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He’s out this week against the Falcons and up in the air after that," Rapoport adds. We'll look for more details on Dobbins' injury and timeline for return, but it sounds like there's a chance he misses multiple games. We'd try to keep Dobbins stashed on fantasy benches for now. His absence leaves RB Gus Edwards as the Chargers' lead runner vs. Atlanta this weekend. We're expecting RB Hassan Haskins to mix in on early downs and RB Kimani Vidal to handle most of the passing downs.
Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins injured his left knee in the first half of Monday night's game vs. the Ravens. He was initially deemed questionable to return before being ruled out during the second half. Dobbins had a large brace on the injured knee, according to the ESPN broadcast. This is the same left knee in which Dobbins tore multiple ligaments in August 2021. We'll update his status as soon as we know more. Dobbins' absence would leave Gus Edwards as the Chargers' lead ball carrier. RB Hassan Haskins could see a bit more work on early downs, while RB Kimani Vidal would be the favorite for primary pass-catching duties.
Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins delivered a pair of TD runs in Sunday night's win over the Bengals, scoring from 1 yard out in the second quarter and then delivering the game winner from 29 yards out with 18 seconds left in regulation. He did so on just 11 carries, however, and added one 3-yard catch on his lone target.
Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) rushed 10 times for 55 yards in his first game action since Week 4. He was out-snapped by J.K. Dobbins, 39-14, and out-carried by 5.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (ankle) has been designated to return from IR. He'll practice on Wednesday, although it's unclear if he'll be cleared to play vs. the Titans this weekend. Edwards was operating as a distant No. 2 behind J.K. Dobbins before going down -- and might have even lost that job to rookie Kimani Vidal. Edwards should stay on fantasy waiver wires for now.
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey popped off for 111 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday’s win over New Orleans. He caught all six of his targets, good for an 18.8% target share. TE Will Dissly and RB J.K. Dobbins led the way with seven targets apiece.
Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins posted 98 yards, 1 TD, and a season-high 25 carries in Sunday's win over Denver. Previously, he hadn't topped 17 rush attempts this season. Note that Gus Edwards missed this one with an ankle injury.
The Chargers have placed RB Gus Edwards on IR with his ankle injury. That means he'll miss at least the next four games. That absence makes rookie RB Kimani Vidal and RB Hassan Haskins worth stashing on fantasy rosters. Haskins has played 7 snaps to 0 for Vidal but has also tied for second-most special teams snaps among all Chargers. We'll see this week how backfield touches get spread -- behind J.K. Dobbins -- this week. Vidal remains more interesting for fantasy upside, given that we haven't yet seen him flunk out with an NFL team. Haskins landed with the Titans in Round 4 of the 2022 draft and got dumped after two seasons. He did play for Jim Harbaugh in college, though.
Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) missed practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. That should mean RB Kimani Vidal’s regular-season debut. The rookie is not a Week 6 fantasy option but might be worth stashing now in deep fantasy leagues. A strong performance this weekend could make Vidal the Chargers’ No. 2 RB – and the J.K. Dobbins handcuff – going forward.
Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. It could be an early-week rest day for the veteran, but the Chargers are coming off their bye week. We'll see if Edwards gets back on the field tomorrow. If he misses Sunday's game vs. the Broncos, we could see rookie RB Kimani Vidal make his regular-season debut.
