Los Angeles Chargers

KeAndre Lambert-Smith

WR

Lambert-Smith drew 12 targets total over 10 games during his rookie season in 2025, so his involvement in Week 6 is eyebrow-raising. His 59 offensive snaps actually paced the Chargers' wide receivers Sunday, with Tre' Harris (hamstring) sidelined and Ladd McConkey knocked out of the contest early by a concussion. Offensive Coordinator Mike McDaniel notoriously covets players with breakaway speed, which Lambert-Smith definitely possesses (4.37-second 40-yard dash), so despite his putting the ball on the ground Sunday, McDaniel may continue to try to find ways to get Lambert-Smith involved as the campaign progresses.

Cameron Dicker

PK

Dicker's 23-yard and 30-yard field goals were the only points scored by the Chargers in the team's blowout loss. While the offense could not get going, as has been the theme all season, Dicker remained reliable. The 26-year-old moves to 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts and a perfect 9-for-9 on extra-point attempts over six regular-season games in 2026.

Charlie Kolar

TE

Kolar finished fifth on the Chargers in receiving yards, but he was also second on the team in both catches and targets behind KeAndre Lambert-Smith (five catches on nine targets for 32 yards). Kolar has a 6-57-0 receiving line in his two outings since returning from a two-game absence due to a fractured forearm, but he's stuck in an offense that is one of the worst units in the league this season. The Chargers will look to regroup during the Week 7 bye before facing the Rams in Week 8 on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Kimani Vidal

RB

The Chargers' run offense struggled Sunday, but Vidal was slightly more efficient than Omarion Hampton (18 yards) on the same number of carries. Vidal has seen more rotational offensive snaps over the Chargers' last three games, and over that span he has logged 20 carries for 103 yards and a touchdown and six catches (on nine targets) for 29 yards and a score. His role may continue to expand following the Week 7 bye, with the Chargers' next game taking place in Week 8 against the Rams on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Keaton Mitchell

RB

Week 6 was the lowest usage Mitchell has seen this season, and his 17 snaps on offense were third most among Chargers running backs behind Omarion Hampton (34) and Kimani Vidal (25). Through six regular-season games, Mitchell has turned 35 carries into 139 yards and added 12 catches (on 15 targets) for 52 yards and a score, but it's hard to put much trust into any of the Chargers' skill-position players given the team's poor start to the season. Perhaps the Week 7 bye will help the Chargers right the ship, with their next game taking place in Week 8 against the Rams on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Quentin Johnston

WR

Johnston needed just one catch to set a season high in receiving yards, but he was tackled at the 1-yard line to keep him without a touchdown this season after consecutive eight-touchdown regular seasons. The Chargers proceeded to back up 11 yards from there and settled for a field goal. Johnston has caught a deep pass in each of the past two games, securing a 44-yard catch in the Week 5 loss to Seattle prior to the 57-yard catch against the Chiefs. The 2023 first-round pick has just eight catches through five appearances heading into LA's Week 7 bye.

Justin Herbert

QB

Herbert continued to struggle but once again got little help from his teammates. Top wide receiver Ladd McConkey (concussion) exited early, and the Chargers couldn't generate much on the ground, as Herbert led the team in rushing yards. Herbert was held without a touchdown for the first time this season after throwing exactly one touchdown pass in each of the previous five games. The 0-6 Chargers are the first team to six losses this season, as the Titans notched their first win of the season over the Colts on Sunday to improve to 1-5, while the winless Dolphins were on bye. Herbert will be on bye in Week 7 before his next opportunity to snap this season-opening losing streak in a nominal road game against the Rams in Week 8.

Omarion Hampton

RB

The Chargers continued to deloy an ineffective backfield rotation, as Hampton got 11 touches compared to 10 for Kimani Vidal and two for Keaton Mitchell. None of the three running backs exceeded 3.0 yards per carry while QB Justin Herbert led the team with 26 rushing yards. Hampton has been trending in the wrong direction, with his rushing yardage dropping with each subsequent game since a 94-yard performance on the ground in Week 2 against the Raiders. He'll look to reverse that trend in Week 8 against the Rams following a Week 7 bye.

Ladd McConkey

WR

McConkey was being evaluated for a possible head injury early in the second quarter before the Chargers quickly ruled him out. This follows a nearly three-week stretch in which he was dealing with a lingering foot issue that didn't allow him to log a snap in Week 4, despite being active. Now that he's subject to the concussion protocol, McConkey's next game action is up in the air.

Brenen Thompson

WR

Though Thompson is suiting up for the first time since Week 2, it's unclear how extensively he'll be able to play Sunday. The Chargers have a full list of injured players on their seven-man inactive list, so it's conceivable that much like Ladd McConkey a week ago in the team's loss to the Broncos, Thompson could be available only as an emergency option after he was limited in practices Wednesday through Friday. During the Chargers' first two games of the season, Thompson handled a light role on offense, playing just 22 total snaps while recording one reception for 13 yards on three targets.

Daiyan Henley

LB

Henley was listed as questionable for Sunday's game due to a knee injury. The linebacker was limited in practice all week due to the injury but has recovered enough to suit up for the Chargers' Sunday divisional contest against the Chiefs.

Alec Ingold

FB

Per Noah Furtado of The Athletic, Ingold wasn't included on the Chargers' initial Week 6 injury report Wednesday before being a late addition on account of the shoulder issue. He'll be sidelined for at least the next four games, making him ineligible to play until Week 11 versus the Jets on Nov. 22. The fullback hadn't logged any carries and recorded three receptions for 35 yards on four targets through Los Angeles' first five games.

Denzel Perryman

LB

Per Ricardo Sandoval of USA Today, Harbaugh said back on Sept. 1 that he expected Perryman to spend the minimum four games on IR due to his unspecified injury, but the veteran linebacker will now be sidelined for a sixth straight game to begin the campaign. The 33-year-old appeared in 10 games for the Chargers in 2025, logging 47 tackles and three pass breakups.
