chargers

The Chargers look ready to roll in this one. Coming off a strong offensive showing, they’ll face a Titans team that has struggled to keep up against top-tier passing attacks. Tennessee does have a few fantasy-relevant players, but the edge here clearly belongs to the Bolts. Expect fireworks from Justin Herbert and company in what could be a one-sided affair.

PlayerDesignationFantasy Outlook
Justin Herbert✅ StartHerbert is coming off one of his best games of the season, 3 passing TDs and 62 rushing yards. His dual-threat ability has quietly become a factor, and against this Titans defense, he’s a top-5 QB play. Expect 250+ yards and multiple scores.
Kimani Vidal✅ StartVidal has firmly taken control of the Chargers’ backfield, posting multiple 100-yard games recently. He runs with purpose and vision, expecting another productive outing with a touchdown against Tennessee’s inconsistent run defense.
Oronde Gadsden II✅ StartGadsden continues to shine as a versatile tight end option in a thin fantasy landscape. He’s heavily involved and poses matchup problems all over the field. Lock him in as a strong TE1 this week.
Ladd McConkey💪 Flex StartMcConkey’s health bears monitoring as he’s been limited in practice. When active, he’s a dynamic slot weapon who complements Herbert perfectly. Start him as a high-upside flex if cleared.
Keenan Allen💪 Flex StartThe veteran has quietly thrived as the WR2 in this offense, showing consistency and reliability. Even in a crowded receiver room, Allen remains a safe PPR flex, especially for managers hit by bye weeks.

🏈 Tennessee Titans

PlayerDesignationFantasy Outlook
Tyjae Spears💪 Flex StartSpears continues to carve out a bigger role and has outproduced Pollard in spurts. His pass-catching ability gives him solid flex value, particularly in PPR formats. Expect 60+ total yards and sneaky upside.
Chimere Dike💪 Flex StartDike has quietly emerged as a relevant fantasy piece over the past two weeks. With growing chemistry in the passing game, he’s worth a deep-league flex start.
Chig Okonkwo💤 SleeperOkonkwo has maintained a steady 4–6 targets per game but hasn’t found the end zone yet. He’s one touchdown away from relevance: a desperation TE streamer with upside.
Elic Ayomanor🌙 Lucid DreamerAyomanor saw 8 targets last week and could continue to be involved if the Titans fall behind early. In very deep leagues or injury crunches, he’s a last-resort flex with volume-based appeal.
Tony Pollard❌ SitPollard has not practiced this week and his efficiency has cratered in recent games. Even if he’s active, the committee approach limits his ceiling. Bench him until further notice.
Titans Defense❌ SitFacing one of the most explosive offenses in the AFC, this is a nightmare matchup. Expect Herbert and Vidal to carve them up. Keep the Titans D/ST far away from your starting lineup.

🔍 Final Take

The Chargers are trending upward, and the Titans may not have enough firepower to keep pace. Justin Herbert is a must-start, Vidal looks like a fantasy gem, and Gadsden II could continue his rise among the league’s best young tight ends. Tennessee’s offense, meanwhile, offers only a few flex-worthy options, and its defense should be avoided entirely.

Expect the Chargers to dominate both the scoreboard and the fantasy box score this week.
