In brief
Chargers' top fantasy players face injury and matchup challenges in Week 6. Fantasy managers should start Ladd McConkey but sit Justin Herbert, Quentin Johnston, and Chargers defense due to injuries and matchup concerns. Originally reported by Los Angeles Chargers On SI.
Week 6 Challenge
The Chargers face a tough test in Week 6 with fantasy managers making key decisions before Sunday's divisional matchup.
Injury Impact
Injuries on both sides could change how this game plays out, especially with several important offensive and defensive players unavailable.
Start: Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey is a player I would feel comfortable keeping in my lineup this week. The second-year receiver has the route-running ability to create separation against quality coverage.
McConkey Opportunity
Tre’ Harris being ruled out makes the receiving situation worth watching. His absence leaves the bolts without one of their leading producers.
Sit: Justin Herbert
Herbert has thrown for 937 yards and five touchdowns, numbers that have not translated into the type of production fantasy managers typically want from their starting quarterback.
Herbert Concerns
Kansas City’s pass rush has shown that it can create problems for opposing quarterbacks. If herbert is forced to get rid of the ball quickly or spends too much time under pressure, it could limit…
Sit: Quentin Johnston
Quentin Johnston has an opportunity to contribute with harris unavailable, but i would be careful about assuming that automatically makes him a dependable fantasy starter.
Johnston Risk
Johnston has the physical tools to make difficult catches and stretch the field. The problem is that his value can depend on whether he receives enough targets and converts them into meaningful gains.
Sit: Chargers Defense
I would look elsewhere for a fantasy defense this week if another reasonable option is available.
What to remember
Fantasy managers should start Ladd McConkey but sit Justin Herbert, Quentin Johnston, and Chargers defense due to injuries and matchup concerns.
