Latest news

Mike Williams could be ready for Week 1

Gilbert Manzano on Twitter

Sep 03, 2020 · 8:35 PM EDT

According to multiple reports, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams could be cleared for Week 1.

Fantasy Impact:

Per Manzano, “Los Angeles Chargers OC Shane Steichen sounds very optimistic that Mike Williams will play Week 1: "Mike’s gotta be ready to play. I think Mike has got that mindset to be ready to play. ... We look forward to having him on September 13”.". It was feared that Williams would miss Week 1’s tilt with the Cincinnati Bengals, but it now sounds like the team is leaving the door open for him to see snaps. He may be limited or deployed in more of a decoy fashion, but there is no denying that the offense will be more explosive with the talented wideout on the field across from Keenan Allen. Our 54th ranked receiver for the 2020 season, this could very well be the year Williams puts it altogether.

Joshua Kelley may be No. 2 back for Chargers

Chargers Rookie RB Joshua Kelley may have surpassed Justin Jackson as the team's number two back according to Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register. Manzano also mentions both backs may get snaps as a committee if Austin Ekeler sees time in the slot with the injury to WR Mike Williams.

Fantasy Impact:

The Chargers offense is in flux with a lack of proven wide receivers, but the versatility of the backfield may make multiple running backs fantasy-relevant. Stay tuned as Week 1 approaches.

Chargers Beat: WR Mike Williams (shoulder) may miss 4-6 weeks

The Athletic

Aug 25, 2020 · 6:34 PM EDT

Wide receiver Mike Williams sat out practice Tuesday because of the sprained shoulder he suffered diving for a pass Sunday, and he won’t be returning to the field any time soon.

NFL Network reported Tuesday that Williams is expected to miss two to four weeks, but I’m told that timeline is extremely optimistic. According to a team source, four to six weeks is the more realistic timeline, and the Chargers are preparing for the possibility of playing without Williams for a majority of September.

Fantasy Impact:

Jalen Guyton, Darius Jennings, Tyron Johnson and Jason Moore all took reps with the first team but are unproven. The story added the Chargers passed on taking WR talent in the draft outside Joe Reed, who projects as more of a hybrid player, according to the story.

Chargers WR Mike Williams (shoulder) could miss start of season

Anthony Lynn said Mike Williams will be "out for a while" with his shoulder injury. Doesn't know if he will be ready for the start of the season.

Related players: Darius Jennings, K.J. Hill, Joe Reed

Fantasy Impact:

It's a big blow to the Chargers offense, potentially losing their W2. Reported timelines are saying 2-4 weeks. The good news is the Chargers had some guys stepping up at WR recently that we highlighted in the news this week - mainly Jennings, Hill and Reed. Although not a speedster, Hill seemed to have the edge for the WR3 spot before Williams injury.
