Chargers Beat: WR K.J. Hill had good first week

Aug 23, 2020

Rookie wide receiver K.J. Hill had the best Week 1 of training camp among wide receivers not named Keenan Allen or Mike Williams. Hill was open often and rarely had an incomplete target.

Fantasy Impact:

The Chargers are seeking speed at their WR3 spot, but Hill doesn't necessarily fit the bill. Jalen Guyton’s blazing speed gave him first crack for the No. 3 role. He received most of the first-team reps, but struggled to find chemistry with quarterback Tyrod Taylor. The results weren’t good when Taylor targeted him, the story said. The piece added with Hill stepping up, it may force the Chargers hand. Reed and Jennings are also candidates.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
