Justin Herbert: SIT
Omarion Hampton: SIT

Kimani Vidal: SIT

Quentin Johnston: SIT
All Chargers TEs: SIT
This isn’t an exaggeration. I’m not starting any Chargers in any format until they start to show signs of life on offense. If that ever happens. Only the Dolphins and Titans score fewer points per game than the Chargers. But at least those teams have some semblance of players with established roles and upside.
Defense/Special Teams
Los Angeles Chargers: SIT
Kansas City Chiefs
Quarterback
Patrick Mahomes: START, QB1
Patrick Mahomes is still one of the easiest names to leave in your lineup. He’s the Patrick Mahomes Sr. of the NFL.
Just kidding.
The obvious call is Derek Jeter. The face of a dynasty with multiple championships already in hand. So good for so long that we’ve started treating greatness like it’s routine.
Running Back
Kenneth Walker: START, RB1
Kenneth Walker is 100% matchup-proof and proving his doubters of his own greatness wrong now that he’s finally seeing the volume. RB2 in carries per game, RB1 in yards per game, RB9 in targets per game, and RB2 in points per game. Lock in Kenny Dub every single week.
Wide Receiver/Tight End
Xavier Worthy: START, WR3
Rashee Rice: FLEX (If Active)
Travis Kelce: STREAMER
Xavier Worthy is playing better as of late, with 11 or more fantasy points in two of his last three and tied with Travis Kelce for the team lead in targets per game. Rashee Rice is deaing with a hamstring issue that is still bothering him after a week off with the bye, and his status is up in the air. Rice likely doesn’t go, but if he does, he’s a FLEX. Kelce is coming off his worst game of the season and has a bottom 10 matchup, making him just a streamer himself.
Defense/Special Teams
Kansas City Chiefs: START
