The story added Spiller is starting to show the physical play. We have Spiller second on the team's depth chart behind Ekeler, and it's the physical, between the tackles runs that should get him to the point where he's a possible one-two punch with Ekeler.

Isaiah Spiller has been taking reps with the 1st team thus far in training camp, indicating that the RB2 designation is his to lose.

The Chargers have been unable to find a successful compliment to Austin Ekeler, but that could change in the form of Spiller. The rookie makes for an intriguing late-round pick due to this explosive offense, and his 3,500+ scrimmage yards he accrued throughout college. His current ADP of 13.02 is sure to continue climbing with more positive camp news.

In Popper's post-draft look at the Chargers' depth chart, he notably listed rookie RB Isaiah Spiller ahead of incumbents Larry Rountree III and Joshua Kelley. "Finding a reliable backup behind Ekeler was a priority for general manager Tom Telesco and coach Brandon Staley this offseason, and they think they found that player in Spiller," wrote Popper.

Spiller has similar draft capital than Kelley (4th) and higher capital than Rountree (6th), and is arguably a better pass catcher than both heading into training camp. Spiller appears to be a dynasty player to target should Ekeler get hurt and has later-round value in redraft so long as he does not stumble out the gate.

The Los Angeles Chargers and TE Gerald Everett have agreed to a two-year deal.

The Chargers did not have a proven tight end on their roster with Jared Cook a free agent. Everett is good enough to run as the lead tight end but should also see Parham and McKitty get enough work to make Everett more of a TE2.

The Los Angeles Chargers have re-signed WR Mike Williams to a three-year, $60 million deal that keeps him from reaching free agency.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams has been activated from the reserve/COVID list.

Williams was set to miss Week 17 due to being unvaccinated but is able to make his return with the NFL changing the time players who test positive need to remain sidelined and in health and safety protocols. Mike Williams is currently our 27th ranked wide receiver for Week 17.

The NFL informed clubs that unvaccinated players who tested positive for COVID-19 in recent days -- including #Colts QB Carson Wentz and LB Darius Leonard and #Chargers WR Mike Williams -- are now eligible to play Sunday provided symptoms have improved, per sources.

We reported earlier today the league and the NFLPA were in talks about this. You can read the complete memo on Pelissero's Twitter page. But some keys are vaccinated players can test out in less than five days. The five days is mandatory for unvaccinated players but it will allow those tested early in the week to still have a chance to play in the next game - obviously very important with the upcoming playoffs.

According to Staley, wide receiver Mike Williams, safety Nasir Adderley and cornerback Chris Harris Jr. will miss the pivotal game due to being on the reserve/COVID-19 list, per Fernando Ramirez of SI.

Williams was added to the list on Christmas, and due to the 10-day quarantine rule for unvaccinated players, he will miss Sunday. The NFL recently updated their protocols so that vaccinated players could "test out" of protocols more quickly. Since Adderley and Harris have already been ruled out, it would appear they are unvaccinated as well, according to the story. It's possible Guyton could test out and return. Moore caught three passes for 56 yards in Week 16.
