The Los Angeles Chargers bounce back in Week 8 to dominate the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football
Justin Herbert threw for 227 yards and three touchdowns on Thursday to defeat the Vikings 37-10. “It was a big win for us, a big opportunity for us to go correct some more mistakes,” said Herbert. This was the first game this season in which the Chargers scored more than 30 points.
Rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden II had another impressive performance, finishing the day with five receptions for 77 yards and a score. His touchdown came on an eight-yard pass, and he also delivered a spectacular 40-yard reception in the game. He has now recorded more than 65 yards in each of his last three games and seems to have found a role in this Chargers offense. The hype has continued to grow and, as of now, should be considered a startable tight end moving forward.

The Los Angeles Chargers have placed veteran Wide Receiver Mike Williams on the PUP List.
Mike Williams has been added to the PUP List by the Chargers. Williams signed a one-year contract worth up to $6 million during free agency to reunite with the team he has been part of for the majority of his career. The news does not mean Williams will miss games, but it has opened up a window for rookie WR Tre Harris or Quentin Johnston to grab an opportunity at being the team’s WR2 behind Ladd McConkey.
Williams was known for his field stretching and contested catch ability, while Keenan Allen occupied the slot in what was a highly dynamic Chargers offense. Last season, we saw Rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey break out and become the alpha for the Chargers. Now, can we see Tre Harris emerge as a big-bodied target to work in tandem with Ladd, or does Quentin Johnston show any sign of life and become what the Chargers envisioned when he was selected 23rd overall in the 2023 NFL Draft?
Harris is currently a holdout over a disagreement over guaranteed money. Now, the Mike Williams designation gives Quentin Johnston the early leg up on valuable reps and building chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert.

Justin Herbert is one of the top fallers in PlayerProfiler’s Dynasty Deluxe lifetime value rating for the end of August.
Justin Herbert’s dynasty value is increasingly under threat. While he’s undoubtedly a talented quarterback, injury concerns and the recent arrival of Jim Harbaugh have cast a shadow over his future prospects. Harbaugh, a proven coach with a long-term commitment to the Chargers, is known for his run-heavy offensive philosophy. This shift in strategy could limit Herbert’s opportunities to showcase his passing abilities and potentially impact his overall production.
Additionally, Herbert’s durability is becoming a concern, as he only played 12 games last season and is now dealing with a foot injury that is expected to impact him all season. As a result, dynasty owners may need to reassess Herbert’s value and the potential risks associated with his current situation. Herbert is a player to consider offloading for a haul now before he potentially misses more time or isn’t in a pass-heavy enough offense to contribute meaningful fantasy production.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has been diagnosed with a plantar fascia injury and will miss the next two weeks.
Coming off of his 2nd consecutive season with diminished production from his outstanding rookie year, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was diagnosed with a plantar fascia injury in his right foot and will miss the next two weeks of the pre-season. The Chargers announced that Herbert will be in a walking boot for two weeks before working back to full strength, but will be ready for Week 1.
Herbert came out of the gate strong with over 5000 yards passing in 2021 as a rookie, and added 38 touchdowns. His yards and touchdowns have decreased each year since, and a new coaching staff that likely won’t call for 670+ passing attempts doesn’t suggest a return to his 2021 production. Additionally, Herbert’s injury means he has less time on the field to develop rapport with his new receivers, DJ Chark and rookies Ladd McConkey and Brenden Rice, while he learns a new offense under Greg Roman and Jim Harbaugh.
Herbert is currently our QB17 and has an Underdog ADP of 134. Ending last season early because of injury and starting 2024 with another, plus the new offense and personnel, make Herbert a risk at ADP, but hint at a future buy-low candidacy.
The Los Angeles Chargers have announced the hiring of Head Coach Jim Harbaugh.
Former 49ers Head Coach and reigning NCAA National Champion Jim Harbaugh has made his triumphant return to the league. Son of a coach, brother of the Baltimore Ravens HC John, and long-time NFL QB, Harbaugh takes over the wreckage left by Brandon Staley.
Harbaugh was last seen in the NFL in 2014 with San Francisco. His 10-year hiatus over, Harbaugh looks to reestablish himself as a Super Bowl contending general. Chargers QB Justin Herbert is highly regarded as the player that could get Harbaugh to the “Promised Land.”
LA Chargers QB Justin Herbert has been placed on IR following surgery to his fractured right index finger, ending his season.
In an anticipated roster move, the LA Chargers placed QB Justin Herbert on the IR after surgery to his fractured right index finger, ending Herbert’s disappointing 2023 campaign. Herbert has been perennially touted as the most gifted QB in the NFL, apart from Patrick Mahomes, although he has finished better than QB9 in fantasy only once in four full seasons.
Backup Easton Stick will get the start on Thursday Night Football against Las Vegas in an AFC West battle between the two poorest records in the division.
