Larry Rountree III - No offensive snaps in win Rountree played all five of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.
Impact Rountree is currently operating as the Chargers' No. 4 running back, working behind starter Austin Ekeler and top backups Justin Jackson and Joshua Kelley. Barring absences from one or more of the players ahead of him, the 22-year-old rookie should remain far off the fantasy radar heading into the Chargers' Week 14 game against the Giants.
DECEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Dustin Hopkins - Misses extra point Hopkins made both of his field-goal attempts but missed one of his four extra-point tries in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.
Impact Hopkins converted from 43 yards on both his field goals, but his failed PAT gives him a missed kick in back-to-back weeks. On the bright side, Hopkins still notched nine points, bringing his season total up to 88 through 12 appearances.
DECEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Joshua Kelley - Does nothing in win Kelley didn't record any counting stats across his two offensive snaps in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.
Impact The third-string running back only saw two snaps with eight previously being his lowest. Austin Ekeler consistently dominates the backfield while Justin Jackson typically acts as the main backup, although the snap share has oscillated week to week based on his health. Jackson is slowly returning from a quadricep injury and has missed several games throughout the season, but he essentially renders Kelley useless whenever he's healthy.
DECEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Palmer - Missed only target Palmer missed his only target in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.
Impact Palmer saw a slip in snap time as Mike Williams and Jalen Guyton took charge. The rookie's lone target was simply a dropped deep pass which slipped off his hands and somehow landed in the cornerback's arm for Justin Herbert's lone interception. In the previous five games, the fourth-string wide receiver had at least one catch with 17-plus yards, but with a significant lead for most of the afternoon Palmer wasn't needed. Facing the Giants in the upcoming week, the rookie might have an impact on the field with Keenan Allen placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

Uchenna Nwosu - Two sacks in win Nwosu tallied two tackles (two solo) along with two sacks and a forced fumble in the 41-22 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Impact Nwosu recorded two of the Chargers six total sacks, increasing his season sack total to four. In addition, the young linebacker also forced and recovered his own fumble early in the first quarter, setting the tone for the remainder of the game. After recording his second forced fumble of the season, the 24-year-old gets an easier matchup against the Giants next Sunday.
DECEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Nasir Adderley - Half sack in win Adderley tallied seven tackles (two solo) along with half of a sack in Sunday's 41-22 win over Cincinnati.
Impact With another solid game, Adderley has now recorded seven-plus tackles in five of his last six games. The young safety was able to record his first partial sack of the year and the first of his young career.
DECEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Davis - First Interception of season Davis tallied two tackles (two solo) along with an interception in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.
Impact Davis recorded his first interception of the season and his first since Week 14 of last year. The 26-year-old was able to help the Chargers bolt out to an early lead as he picked off Joe Burrow in the first quarter, an interception that eventually led to a Los Angeles touchdown drive. After missing a few games earlier in the season, it is good to see Davis get back on track.
DECEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Harris Jr. - Interception in win Harris recorded four tackles (four solo) and an interception in the 41-22 win against the Bengals on Sunday.
Impact Harris intercepted his first pass of the 2021 NFL season. The veteran corner's production has been down this year, however, he was able to show flashes of his older self in this contest as he also deflected a pass. Harris and the Chargers defense get a struggling Giants offense at home next Sunday.
DECEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Donald Parham Jr. - Two catches in win Parham caught two of his four targets for three yards during Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.
Impact Parham recorded his second-straight game with fewer than 10 receiving yards and was on the field for a season-low 16 offensive snaps. Although the Chargers have given Parham additional opportunities lately with starter Jared Cook struggling, the 6-foot-8 target failed to produce for the second game in a row. Even in the red zone, the one place Parham theoretically should excel, the Chargers looked instead to Keenan Allen (who scored twice) and lead back Austin Ekeler. If this game proves to be an indication of the Chargers' offensive scheme around the goal-line moving forward, the prospects are dismal for Parham and Cook who have been utilized equally in this area of the field.
DECEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Jackson - Season-high six carries Jackson recorded a season-high six carries for 15 rushing yards and also hauled in two catches for six yards during Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.
Impact Six carries obviously isn't a massive number, but it did represent Jackson's season high in carries and also allowed him to see 15 offensive snaps. This workload was largely the product of the Chargers' insurmountable lead, as four of his six carries were in the last four minutes while the Chargers were running out the clock. The 25-year-old running back has tallied 118 yards on 20 carries this season, and he hasn't been relied upon to handle many carries in neutral game scripts. Barring an injury to lead back Austin Ekeler, Jackson doesn't figure to get involved in the Chargers' gameplan, as he has recorded only one carry during the last two weeks combined.
DECEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jared Cook - Tallies 29 yards in win Cook caught three of four targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.
Impact Cook was limited to his fourth straight game with under 30 receiving yards and has managed only three above that threshold all season. The Chargers have relied on Austin Ekeler and other options to cover goal-line opportunities instead of forcing the ball to Cook which has hampered his fantasy value significantly. Drops have also been an issue for Cook all season (61 percent catch rate), and as a result, the younger backup Donald Parham has seen additional usage. With a low receiving floor, and a decreasing share of red-zone targets, Cook remains a touchdown-dependent, low-upside option at tight end.
