The Los Angeles Chargers are expected to sign former Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Roberts, according to a source. Roberts, a former Pro Bowl punt and kick returner, was released by the Texans earlier this week. The 33-year-old could immediately take over kick-return duties when the Chargers return after their Week 7 bye. Nasir Adderley (hip), who was the team's primary return man, could be in danger of missing time after injuring his hip in the Week 6 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Roberts has just eight catches in the last three years with Houston and the Buffalo Bills, so don't expect him to become involved on offense with the Bolts.
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Jared Cook caught his second touchdown of the season in a Week 6 loss versus the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran also caught four balls for 25 yards. The Chargers offense was dominated all day, but Cook would have the only touchdown for the team with his one-yard grab in the second quarter. Cook has been a solid addition to the Chargers offense this season, but his lack of targets makes him tough to recommend on a weekly basis. With a bye in Week 7, Cook will return to action in Week 8 versus the New England Patriots.
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams caught two of his five targets for 27 yards in a Week 6 blowout loss versus the Baltimore Ravens. The oft injured receiver entered the game battling a knee injury and with the game out of hand, he sat out most of the fourth quarter. The Chargers offense as a whole was ugly on Sunday and managers should chalk this up as just a bad game for Williams. The upcoming free agent has been enjoying the best season of his career with 33 receptions, 498 yards and six touchdowns on the season. The good news for both Williams and managers is that he will get a bye in Week 7 to rest his knee. The hope is that Williams will be good to go for a Week 8 matchup against the New England Patriots.
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen caught all five of his targets for 50 yards in a Week 6 loss versus the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran was one of the lone bright spots in a game that saw the Chargers offense unravel. Allen remains a consistent option that can be counted on for double digit points on a weekly basis, but the emergence of Mike Williams as Justin Herbert's top option has knocked Allen down to WR2 territory. Despite that, Williams has a long history of injuries and has been dealing with a knee injury that saw him limited on Sunday. The Chargers also have one of the better offenses in the league and there should be plenty of opportunities for Allen on a weekly basis to prove his value. Allen will enter his bye in Week 7 and square off against the New England Patriots in Week 8.
Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler struggled in a Week 6 loss against the Baltimore Ravens. Entering the game as one of the best at his position on the season, Ekeler only picked up seven yards on six carries. Despite the poor numbers on the ground, he was able to help managers a little bit in the receiving game with four receptions for 48 yards. The Chargers offense as a whole got beat up by the Ravens defense and despite the rough performance by Ekeler this afternoon, managers should chalk it up as a rare dud performance. Ekeler will have his bye in Week 7 and will face the New England Patriots in Week 8. He remains a RB1 in all formats.
