Chargers are trading WR Keenan Allen to the Bears for a fourth-round pick.

The Chargers pass-catching group now looks very dire. There is no doubt that they will be loading up wherever they can through the draft but the offense looks questionable heading into 2024.

Velus Jones is all but guaranteed to lose the slot role he was pegged for in Chicago, as their WR room is starting to look pretty great. Caleb Williams could be in for an exciting rookie season, were the Bears to go that route.

The Chargers releasing WR Mike Williams, making him a free agent. Williams, on the books for a $32M cap hit, becomes a top FA WR available.

Someone had to take the fall for the Chargers' inflated salary cap, and as it stands, the team chose Keenan Allen over Mike Williams. There's a chance he could return at a lower pricepoint, but with the rest of the NFL now able to make their pitches, that doesn't seem likely. Allen should be the typical target monster we've come to expect, assuming both health, and his employment with the team come Week 1.

The Chargers offense is circling the drain, and one more lost WR isn't going to help things. Avoiding everyone but Austin Ekeler is probably the best course of action.

The Bills are currently 12.5-point favorites, as the Chargers offense continues to take blows. Consider Joshua Palmer a WR3 in what looks to be a difficult matchup.

Wide receiver Keenan Allen may not be available for Giff Smith’s debut as the Chargers interim head coach.

Allen did not play in Brandon Staley’s final game as the team’s head coach because of a heel injury and he did not practice on Tuesday for the same reason.

The Chargers will host the Bills on Saturday night, and owners should at least have plenty of notice for a backup plan if Allen doesn't play. As we said last week, the Bolts have no reason to rush Allen back into their lineup. Palmer could be a replacement option if he's on your wire, and had a big game in Week 15. However, the Chargers trailed the Raiders and had nothing to lose on the offensive side. The Bills proved to be a tough matchup against the Cowboys in Week 15 against the Cowboys.

The Chargers ruled out WR Keenan Allen for Thursday night vs. the Raiders. A key weapon missing for new starting QB Easton Stick.

The Chargers offense is shaping up to be a full fade outside of Austin Ekeler. Joshua Palmer can be considered for FLEX spots, but this is also his first game action since Week 8.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (heel) missed his second straight practice on the team’s estimated report.

LA plays on Thursday night against the Raiders. With Justin Herbert out, and Easton Stick in at QB, things could get ugly for the Chargers on offense in Week 15. Palmer is off the IR and could very well serve as the team's WR1 with Johnston and Guyton also in the mix. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, the Chargers really don't have a reason to rush Allen back on the field at this point.

The Chargers are opening WR Joshua Palmer’s 21-day practice window. Some help on the way in the coming weeks for L.A.’s offense.

Surprisingly, this could be a huge boost for the Chargers offense. The receiving group has not looked great, and Palmer was able to string together some really good performances before going down with his knee injury, including a 16-336-1 statline between Weeks 3-7. He should be rostered as a potential FLEX play if he is able to return during the fantasy playoffs.

Coach Brandon Staley said Monday that X-rays on Quentin Johnston's ribs were returned negative, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Johnston didn't return to the field in the third quarter. Afterward, coach Brandon Staley told Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times that "it wasn't that [Johnston] couldn't go back in the game. We just didn't feel like... it was the right thing to go back in the game," according to the story. The story also said there's an expectation that Johnston will take part in practice this week.

Allen had a huge fantasy performance in Week 10, going 11-175-2 on 13 targets but was having shoulder issues after the game. He looks like he will be a full-go for Week 11 and is a must-start against the Packers on Sunday.
