Chargers QB Justin Herbert threw for 81 yards and 1 INT in Week 11. Backup QB Trey Lance finished out the 35-6 road loss in Jacksonville.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert was pressured often against the Steelers, being sacked five times. He ended up completing 20 of 33 passes for 220 yards and a TD. He did find a little success with his legs rushing 5 times for 19 yards. Missing OTs Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater was apparent against the Steelers with Herbert throwing the ball under pressure throughout the game.

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal rushed 12 times for 30 yards in Sunday's matchup with Tennessee. Vidal topped No. 2 RB Jaret Patterson in snap share – 72% to 28% – but the carry distribution was much tighter. Vidal led by only 3 attempts in a 7-point road win.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert tallied a career-high 420 yards on 37-of-55 passing in Sunday's loss to the Colts. It was the second 400-yard game of his career, coming two years after Herbert threw for 405 at Minnesota in September 2023. Herbert tossed three TD passes and a pair of INTs in a game that found him playing from behind the whole way. The Colts scored first, jumped to a 10-point lead early in the second quarter, and led by 20 at the end of the first half. That obviously helped drive big passing volume for L.A., which threw 35 second-half passes.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 7. We’re expecting WR Tre Harris to step into something close to a full-time role today, although the rookie would be a flier in fantasy lineups. WRs Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen gain target upside with Johnston out.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (hamstring) is "trending toward" missing today's game vs. the Dolphins, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Johnston was limited in practice all week, so this doesn't look like a multi-week injury. But he should be on fantasy benches for Week 6. Johnston has accounted for 22.0% of Chargers targets, 21.7% of catches, 32.0% of receiving yards, and 50.0% of receiving TDs through five weeks, so this is a big loss. Justin Herbert is moving a couple of spots down the Week 6 QB rankings but remains a solid start against a leaky Miami secondary. WRs Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey should see more volume with Johnston out. Rookie WR Tre Harris has been operating as Los Angeles clear No. 4 WR the last four weeks and is the favorite to soak up most of Johnston's snaps today. He'd be a desperation start in season-long leagues but might be worth stashing in you have a bench spot to play with. Harris is also in play for daily tournament lineups.

The Chargers are placing RB Omarion Hampton on IR for the left ankle injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Commanders. That means Hampton will miss at least the next four games. We'll watch for further details on his expected return timeline.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert was excellent in Friday night's win over the Chiefs. He completed 25 of 34 passes (73.5%) for 318 yards (9.4 YPA), 3 TDs, and 0 INTs. Herbert's high-end arm talent was on display throughout the contest. And he reminded us that he's a plus athlete, running seven times for 32 yards. Herbert also had a 22-yard run called back by a holding penalty.

Chargers LT Rashawn Slater was carted off the field with a leg injury on Thursday, and according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, suffered a ruptured patella tendon, ending his season.

In an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show, Chargers QB Justin Herbert stressed the importance of using his legs to extend plays–something he believes the team must emphasize this upcoming season.
