Rashawn Slater News
Los Angeles Chargers rookie left tackle Rashawn Slater was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Slater tested positive for the virus last week and was sidelined for Thursday's overtime loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15, but he will be back for this Sunday's matchup against the Houston Texans. Slater has started 13 games for the Chargers in his rookie season and has played 100% of the offensive snaps to begin his career. Getting Slater back will be good news for second-year quarterback Justin Herbert, who has been playing extremely well in recent weeks. The Chargers probably won't need to throw the ball all that much to beat the Texans, but Herbert will nevertheless be a strong QB1 for fantasy managers.
Los Angeles Chargers rookie offensive tackle Rashawn Slater agreed to a four-year contract that is fully guaranteed on Tuesday. Slater was the 13th pick in the 2021 NFL draft and was one of the best tackles in college football for Northwestern this past season. The Chargers offensive line struggled this past season and Slater should be a big upgrade for Justin Herbert and company. With Slater under contract, only quarterbacks Zach Wilson and Trey Lance remain unsigned from the first round rookie class.
With the 13th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers have drafted Northwestern offensive tackle Rashawn Slater. Widely regarded as the second-best offensive tackle in this year's draft after Penei Sewell, not too many expected Slater to fall to the 13th pick. Slater didn't allow a sack last season and allowed just two quarterback pressures. Slater will look to add pass protection for second-year quarterback Justin Herbert, who is coming off a great rookie season but was also sacked the ninth-most times in the NFL. If Herbert can stay upright more, he'll improve on his 2020 numbers and should be a solid fantasy QB1 pick.
