Five catches in Week 9 win Carter (illness) caught five of six targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.

Impact Carter finished with exactly half the receiving yardage total of Joshua Palmer but still ranked second on the team as the Chargers played without Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle). He also retained his usual role as the return man on special teams, totaling 29 yards on three punt returns and 18 yards on one kickoff return. Carter's expanded role in Los Angeles' Justin Herbert-led passing game is intriguing, but even if the team's top two wide receivers remain sidelined in Week 10, getting open won't be easy against the stingy San Francisco secondary.

Suits up Sunday Carter (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Given that Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (knee) are inactive Sunday, Joshua Palmer and Carter figure to lead the Chargers' Week 9 wideout corps. With increased opportunities likely on tap for Carter in that scenario, the 29-year-old - who has caught 19 passes on 28 targets for 229 yards and a TD in seven games to date -- represents a fantasy lineup option for those who roster Allen or Williams or are seeking short-term WR help, with six NFL teams on bye.

Chargers rule out Keenan Allen, 5 others vs. Falcons

Questionable due to illness Carter is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest in Atlanta due to an illness, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Impact While Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (knee) have been ruled out for Week 9, Joshua Palmer has cleared the concussion protocol and is set to play for the first time since Week 6. Carter seemingly would be next in line for targets, if he's active, but an illness will follow him into the weekend. Assuming Carter is able to suit up Sunday, he'll enter the contest with marks of 12.1 YPC, 8.2 YPT and one touchdown on 19 catches and 28 targets in seven games this season.

Mic'd Up: DeAndre Carter vs Seahawks Wide receiver DeAndre Carter wired for sound during the Chargers' Week 7 matchup versus the Seattle Seahawks.

OCTOBER 25, 2022 • CHARGERS.COM

Three catches against Seattle Carter caught three of seven targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 37-23 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact With Joshua Palmer (concussion) inactive, Keenan Allen on a pitch count in his first game back from a hamstring strain, and Mike Williams carted off in the fourth quarter after suffering an ankle injury, Justin Herbert's option were limited as he attempted to put together a late comeback. As a result, both Carter and Michael Bandy (a woeful one catch for minus-5 yards on six targets) set new season highs for themselves in targets, although neither had much to show for it. The Chargers get a timely Week 8 bye, which should at the very least allow Allen to resume his normal workload after another week of rest, but Carter could still end up handling a bigger role in the offense if Williams' injury proves to be serious.

Season high in targets Carter caught three of five targets for 17 yards in Monday's 19-16 win over the Broncos.

Impact Both Carter and tight end Gerald Everett acted as Justin Herbert's security blankets on a night when the Broncos pass rush was consistently in the quarterback's face. Carter had lost playing time in prior weeks though, and Monday's outing doesn't necessarily represent a change in fortune. Keenan Allen (hamstring) hinted he could make his return next week, which would all but end Carter's offensive snaps.

Does little in win Carter caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Browns.

Impact Carter continues to see plenty of playing time (59 percent of the offensive snaps Sunday), but after a three-game stretch to begin the season as a deep-threat specialist, the Chargers have simply used his speed as a decoy, and in the process, limited his average depth of target dramatically. Keenan Allen (hamstring) should be back soon, which in turn would likely dramatically cut Carter's playing time.

OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Does little in win Carter caught two of his three targets for 16 yards in the 34-24 win Sunday over the Texans. He also lost a fumble.

Impact The days of Carter being a fringe fantasy play likely are over as Keenan Allen, who missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, is listed as day-to-day heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Browns. During Allen's three-game absence, Carter never saw more than four targets in a contest, but after two straight weeks to open the season with receptions of 20-plus yards, the speedy receiver largely has been used as a gimmick option since then.

Kept in check in loss Carter corralled three receptions for 31 yards and also lost five yards on a carry in Sunday's 38-10 drubbing at the hands of the Jaguars.

Impact Carter saw just four targets despite the Chargers attempting 45 passes in what quickly turned into a blowout. The speedy wide receiver once again took a backseat to Joshua Palmer (six catches, 99 yards) and also saw Jalen Guyton make some plays (two catches, 64 yards) before suffering a serious knee injury. Expect Carter to fall out of the rotation as soon as Keenan Allen (hamstring) is able to return, which could be as soon as Week 4 against the Texans.

Chargers' Justin Herbert day-to-day with fractured rib cartilage

QB Justin Herbert, who briefly exited the Chargers' loss to the Chiefs on Thursday, has fractured rib cartilage and is day-to-day.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2022

Another three catches in loss Carter recorded three receptions for 55 yards in Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Carter was kept in check for most of the contest until the final drive when a clearly injured Justin Herbert lasered a pass to the speedy wideout for 35 yards, setting up a short touchdown pass to Joshua Palmer immediately after. Carter played a whopping 49 snaps with Keenan Allen (hamstring) sidelined and a similar type of workload could be on deck if the veteran pass catcher is forced to miss Week 3 against the Jaguars.
