Los Angeles Chargers

KeAndre Lambert-Smith

WR

Lambert-Smith wasn't exactly prolific in spite of logging a hearty 40 offensive snaps, but he made his one catch count, hauling in a 50-yard reception in the third quarter. However, the woeful Chargers turned the ball over on a fumble two plays later. Lambert-Smith has spent much of the season on IR and has had an inconsistent role when suiting up, but he was deployed pretty heavily Sunday because Ladd McConkey couldn't play due to back spasms. If McConkey is also sidelined next Monday in Baltimore, Lambert-Smith could again be a fairly big part of Los Angeles' air attack.

Kimani Vidal

RB

The Chargers continue to use a three-man backfield, an unfriendly fantasy situation and one to avoid when making lineup decisions each week. Vidal has been productive when he does get touches, rushing 36 times for 162 yards (4.5 YPC) and one touchdown across eight games. He's also caught 10 passes for 56 yards and an additional score.

Oronde Gadsden

TE

Gadsden was on the field for 33 of 72 offensive snaps (45.8 percent), which was second-most among Chargers tight ends behind Charlie Kolar (47). Gadsden has caught two passes or fewer in six of eight regular-season games, and his 19-172-1 receiving line (on 29 targets) is well behind pace from his rookie campaign (49 catches on 69 targets for 664 yards and three scores across 15 regular-season contests). The Chargers' offense this season has struggled under quarterback Justin Herbert and coordinator Mike McDaniel, which doesn't bring much confidence ahead of their Week 10 road tilt against the Ravens on Monday Night Football.

Charlie Kolar

TE

Kolar has recorded three catches in four of his last five outings, although he's cracked 30-plus receiving yards in just two of those contests. The Chargers average a season-low 15.1 points per game, and their 201.9 receiving yards per game is ninth-fewest in the NFL, making pass catchers like Kolar hard to rely on for sustained production. The 0-8 Chargers will look to capture their first win of the season in Week 10 against the Ravens on Monday Night Football.

Justin Herbert

QB

Herbert may still have to manage some discomfort in the finger during Monday's contest, but since the injury to his non-throwing hand, he shouldn't be too affected while throwing or handing the ball off. That being said, Herbert has become increasingly difficult to justify including in fantasy lineups even when he's been in more optimal health entering games. Heading into the matchup with the Ravens, Herbert has completed a career-low 61.3 percent of his passes for 6.8 yards per attempt and just six touchdowns in eight games. He's tied with New England's Drake Maye for the league lead in interceptions thrown (11) and ranks second behind Cleveland's Deshaun Watson in sacks taken (31).

Tre' Harris

WR

Harris failed to take advantage of Ladd McConkey (back) failing to appear in Sunday's game, registering his fewest receiving yards in a game this season. Harris was able to garner a team-high seven targets, which bodes well for his chances of increased production in Week 10 against the Ravens if McConkey remains sidelined.

Ladd McConkey

WR

McConkey was not among the Chargers' Week 9 inactives, but he didn't play any snaps in Sunday's loss to the Texans after experiencing back spasms during pregame workouts. Harbaugh's assessment that the wideout is 'day-to-day' offers hope that McConkey will be in the clear ahead of next Monday's game against the Ravens, and a big step toward that outcome would be his full participation in practice no later than Saturday.

Theo Wease Jr.

WR

Cameron Dicker

PK

Dicker was able to make multiple field-goal tries for the third straight game and fifth time this season. The kicker did all his damage in the first half, converting field goals from 52, 33 and 43 yards before the break. Dicker has now gone 15-for-17 on field-goal attempts, including 1-for-2 from 50-plus yards, over eight contests so far during the 2026 campaign.

DJ Uiagalelei

QB

Uiagalelei was inaccurate in his first taste of regular-season NFL action but threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Derius Davis. If Herbert isn't available to face the Ravens on MNF in Week 10 and Trey Lance (groin) isn't ready to return from injured reserve, Uiagalelei would presumably be tabbed for the first regular-season start of the latter's career.

Quentin Johnston

WR

Johnston's long touchdown catch cut the deficit to 38-15 in the fourth quarter. That was the final pass Justin Herbert (finger) completed before exiting the game. If Herbert can't play against the Ravens in Week 10, Johnston would likely find himself catching passes from DJ Uiagalelei. Johnston's 58 receiving yards set a new season high, surpassing his one-catch, 57-yard effort in Week 6, and Sunday's TD was his first of the season.

Keaton Mitchell

RB

Mitchell led LA's three-man backfield rotation with 67 scrimmage yards, while Omarion Hampton had 60 and Kimani Vidal contributed 36. Mitchell's fumble came late in the third quarter, with the Chargers already trailing 31-9 at the time. The winless Chargers are averaging a league-low 15.1 points per game heading into a Week 10 trip to Baltimore, and things could get even worse if QB Justin Herbert (finger) has to miss time after getting injured in the fourth quarter.

Omarion Hampton

RB

Hampton worked as the Chargers' primary rushing option ahead of Keaton Mitchell and Kimani Vidal, who recorded seven carries apiece. The 0-8 Chargers unsurprisingly faced another negative game script, though, and Hampton wasn't involved in the passing game. The 2025 first-round pick continues to disappoint on a surprisingly awful offense that could get even worse should QB Justin Herbert (finger) miss any additional action after exiting in the fourth quarter. Hampton will try to snap a four-game touchdown drought in Week 10 against the Ravens.

Derius Davis

WR

With Justin Herbert (finger) out of the game and the score out of hand already, Davis caught a 15-yard touchdown from backup DJ Uiagalelei in the fourth quarter. Davis has no fantasy value as a reserve wideout in one of the league's worst offenses.

Cam Hart

CB

Hart exited the third quarter of Sunday's game with an ankle injury. Rodney Shelley will play outside cornerback opposite Donte Jackson while Hart undergoes further evaluation.

Isas Waxter

CB

The special-teamer will not return to Sunday's contest after exiting in the first quarter. A number of players could step up to contribute on special teams in Waxter's absence.

Justin Eboigbe

DT

Eboigbe was hurt in the first quarter, and his return is uncertain. Nick Barrett will likely pick up more defensive snaps for as long as Eboigbe remains sidelined.

Denzel Perryman

LB

Perryman logged a pair of limited sessions during Week 9 prep but is not quite ready to return to the Chargers' 53-man roster. The inside linebacker will continue his recovery during Week 10 prep in the hopes of making his 2026 regular-season debut soon.

David Njoku

TE

Njoku returned to practice this week but was limited all three days before being deemed doubtful for Week 9 action. The TE's next chance to play will arrive Monday, Nov. 16, when the Chargers face the Ravens.

Rodney Shelley

CB

Shelley missed each of Los Angeles' past three games while tending to an ankle injury. However, he followed two limited practices to begin this week with a full session Friday to position himself for a return Sunday. Shelley has played a rotational role in the secondary when active this season while also contributing on special teams.

Donte Jackson

CB

Jackson missed each of the Chargers' past three games due to a hamstring injury, but he was able to log a full practice session Friday and is set to return to action versus Houston. Before getting hurt, he started in three of his four appearances to begin the season, so he'll likely return to that role Sunday, especially since fellow cornerback Deane Leonard (concussion) has been ruled out.
