OCTOBER 20, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Joey Bosa - Tallies another sack Bosa managed five solo tackles and one tackle for loss during Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens.
Impact Bosa performed at his usual level in a game where Los Angeles' defense struggled to contain Baltimore's offense in any capacity, bringing his sack total to 3.5 on the season. After the team's Week 7 bye, Bosa will look to cause disruption against Mac Jones and the Patriots.

Kyzir White - Excellent performance despite loss White recorded eight tackles (three solo) including one for a loss, intercepted two passes and picked up a quarterback hit in Sundays 34-6 loss to the Ravens.
Impact White has been an unsung hero for the Chargers since entering the starting lineup last season, but Sunday's performance was easily the best of his career. Known primarily as a coverage linebacker, the fourth-year player snared his first interceptions since 2019 and also helped tie for the team high in tackles. Don't expect a repeat performance anytime soon, however, as the Chargers' upcoming opponents might call for a bit more run-heavy focus, which could limit White's playing time.
OCTOBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Amen Ogbongbemiga - Career-high eight tackles Ogbongbemiga registered eight tackles (three solo) in the 34-6 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Impact Pressed into action with Kenneth Murray (ankle) and Drue Tranquill (chest) sidelined, the undrafted rookie performed well enough from an IDP perspective. Ogbongbemiga played his way onto the 53-man roster after an exhilarating training camp, but with both Murray and Tranquill expected to return following the team's Week 7 bye, expect the Oklahoma product to shuttle back and forth between the practice squad and active roster most weeks.
OCTOBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Derwin James Jr. - Ties for team lead in tackles James tallied eight tackles (seven solo) and forced a fumble in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens.
Impact James has been a revelation this season, leading the team in tackles while either forcing a fumble or registering a pick in three straight games. That effort hasn't exactly turned around what was a porous Chargers run defense last season, but it's still encouraging to see the 25-year-old reestablish himself as a premier safety after missing 27 games due to injury over the past two seasons.
OCTOBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Joshua Kelley - Gets four carries in loss Kelley carried the ball four times for seven yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens.
Impact Kelley continued to serve as the backup behind Austin Ekeler for the second straight week. The Chargers struggled to move the ball on offense Sunday, resulting in a rough fantasy day for most of the team's skill position players. Ekeler and Kelley each gained seven yards on the ground, totaling six and four carries, respectively. For the Chargers, this game was one to forget. Fantasy managers can assume that Kelley is the backup to roster in the event that Ekeler is sidelined with an injury going forward. The 23-year-old Kelley is on bye this week, and the Chargers will host the Patriots in Week 8.
OCTOBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Tristan Vizcaino - Another extra-point miss Vizcaino missed his long extra-point attempt in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens.
Impact At this point the Chargers have some serious issues at kicker, a phrase that's been too often repeated over the years. While Vizcaino never got a chance to attempt a field goal given the dismal performance from the offense, he did tack on another missed extra point, his fifth miss in the last four games. There's been no talk about replacing Vizcaino at this stage of the season, but these types of errors likely can't be repeatable for much longer.
OCTOBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Donald Parham Jr. - Scoring stretch ends Parham caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens.
Impact After scoring in back-to-back weeks, Parham saw fellow tight end Jared Cook score the team's lone touchdown in what quickly turned into a Ravens rout. The big-bodied target has seen a smattering of targets game planned for him on a week-to-week basis, but is hardly consistent enough for him to be relevant save for deeper fantasy formats.
OCTOBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Guyton - Incredibly inefficient in loss Guyton caught just one of his five targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens.
Impact For the first time all season the Chargers passing attack, particularly Mike Williams and Keenan Allen, was completely stifled, which allowed for Guyton to get an usually high five targets. The lack of efficiency with those opportunities likely has more to do with numerous uncatchable passes thrown by Justin Herbert and less of an indictment on Guyton, but it's obviously a difficult line nevertheless. The Chargers will lick their wounds heading into a Week 7 bye before returning to play Oct. 31 against the Patriots.
OCTOBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Jackson - Returns to action Jackson (groin) caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens.
Impact Jackson missed Week 5 with a groin injury but was able to return Sunday, mixing in with Joshua Kelley as a change-of-pace option behind Austin Ekeler. Jackson saw just seven snaps and has yet to play more than 15 snaps in a given game this season.
