Game Info
Kickoff: Monday, November 16, 2026, 8:15 PM ET
Location: M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, MD
Network: ESPN
Los Angeles Chargers
Quarterback
Justin Herbert: SIT, QB2 (Startable in Superflex)
Maybe this is the week that Herbert snaps out of whatever Madison Beer-induced fog he’s been playing through all season and balls out under the bright Monday night lights against the Ravens. Maybe the Chargers’ battered and beaten offensive line doesn’t completely disintegrate against Baltimore’s tepid pass rush. Maybe Mike McDaniel calls a good game, putting playmakers in the right place to get the football and make plays. And maybe all of that happens on my fantasy bench, because that’s where Herbert will be. I need to see it happen (more than once, I think) before I put my faith back in this offense.
Running Back
Omarion Hampton: FLEX, RB3
Keaton Mitchell: SIT
Kimani Vidal: SIT
There’s been no rhyme or reason in the way that the Chargers have deployed their running back trio in the past few weeks, with each playing nearly the same amount of snaps, running close to the same amount of routes, and all producing at a sub-optimal rate. The Ravens’ above-average rushing defense isn’t an opponent that I would want to try and pick on. Hampton is a desperation play at running back, and if I’ve come this far with him in my backfield, I’m not looking back now.
Wide Receiver
Tre’ Harris: FLEX, WR4
Quentin Johnston: SIT
Ladd McConkey: SIT
Harris will be on the field most often as he’s by far the best run blocker in this wide receiver room, but none of these pass-catchers have done enough in this defunct offense to warrant a start. The Ravens have given up big plays in their secondary, and it wouldn’t surprise anyone to see one of these receivers pop off with a big play or two. But I’m not interested in guessing who it’s going to be. I’m also not interested in guessing whether or not Ladd McConkey will actually play any given week.
Tight End
Charlie Kolar: SIT
Charlie Kolar has no touchdowns and 3.3 targets per game. Baltimore has allowed the fourth-most points to tight ends over its last three games, but he can’t be trusted… even in a “revenge game” narrative.
Defense/Special Teams
Los Angeles Chargers: SIT
Los Angeles has the third-fewest sacks per game and allows the fourth-most points. Even Jacoby Brissett should be able to make things happen against this defense.
Baltimore Ravens
Quarterback
Jacoby Brissett: SIT, QB2 (Startable in Superflex)
This isn’t ideal for anybody, but Brissett could be just what fantasy managers need to put them over the top on Monday night against a Chargers defense that has been just average against the position. With weapons like Zay Flowers and Derrick Henry at his disposal, Brissett finds himself in arguably a better offense than what he was running in Arizona earlier this year. It will be interesting to see how quickly Brissett picks up the Ravens’ offense and, more importantly, how well the Baltimore offensive line holds up in protection. If they can keep Brissett clean, he could be a solid streaming option this weekend.
Running Back
Derrick Henry: START, RB1
Justice Hill: SIT
Rasheen Ali: SIT
I know times have been tough for those rostering Henry, but with a competent quarterback (relatively speaking) under center for the Ravens, things are sure to improve. Not only that, but the Chargers have been a plus matchup for running backs so far this season, ranking in the NFL’s bottom 10 in fantasy points allowed to running backs, giving up 21.8 FPPG at the position. With the game script most likely to tip in Baltimore’s favor, Hill doesn’t project to get increased snaps or usage in the passing game.
Wide Receiver
Zay Flowers: START, WR2
Rashod Bateman: SIT
Ja’Kobi Lane: SIT
Things have to be better than they were on Thursday night last week against the Jaguars, right? The Ravens can’t possibly flop as hard with Brissett calling the shots. We’ve seen him carry pass-catching fantasy assets in Arizona, and we could see it again on Monday night. Flowers is dynamic and explosive – if he has a quarterback that can get him the ball in space successfully, we could see him get back to the elite levels of production we saw early in the year. The other Ravens’ pass-catchers are at a point where I need to see it before I start them, but given the choice, I lean Lane over Bateman this week.
Tight End
Mark Andrews: SIT
Mark Andrews is averaging 4.5 points over his last three games, and the Chargers allow the second-fewest points to tight ends. Rookies Matthew Hibner and Josh Cuevas have cut into his snap share and workload. The Ravens are slowly phasing out the aging tight end… about a year too late.
Defense/Special Teams
Baltimore Ravens: START
The Chargers score the fewest points in the league, give the ball away more than anyone, and take the second-most sacks. The Ravens’ pass rush isn’t good, but maybe they get home against a Swiss-cheesy offensive line. It’s a middling defense against a bad offense. I don’t mind the matchup for a streaming defense option.
