Los Angeles Chargers' top 5 fantasy football assets in 2024
The Los Angeles Chargers have some players that could be assets for fantasy football managers. Here's a look at five of them:
5. Ladd McConkey, Wide receiver
Ladd McConkey enters his rookie NFL season as a candidate for the WR1 spot in Los Angeles. McConkey is fresh off a solid collegiate football career with the Georgia Bulldogs.
Ladd McConkey can be a fantasy football asset due to his route-running skills and potential synergy with the first-ranked player on our list.
4. J.K. Dobbins, Running back
New Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh loves running the ball, so we'll have a bunch of RBs on this asset watch list. We'll start with J.K. Dobbins, a solid runner on the Gridiron.
Dobbins could be a late-round steal in fantasy drafts due to his upside and the Chargers' likely system.
3. Kimani Vidal, Running back
Kimani Vidal is the youngest player in the Los Angeles Chargers running back committee. Vidal is fresh off two impressive seasons at Troy and looks well-placed to be the Chargers RB1 of the future.
However, don't be surprised if Vidal proves to be a breakthrough star in Jim Harbaugh's first year in Los Angeles.
2. Gus Edwards, Running back
Gus Edwards was Baltimore's leading running back in 2023, so it's a welcome surprise to Chargers fans that he was signed ahead of the upcoming season. We expect Jim Harbaugh to utilize his bulldozing skillset in his run-heavy offense.
Edwards is likely a top 15 running back in fantasy football as long as he stays healthy.
1. Justin Herbert, Quarterback
Justin Herbert is two years removed from his last elite fantasy season. Plus, it's unlikely he'll get more chances to launch the ball due to Jim Harbaugh's preference for a run-heavy offense.
However, Herbert could prove armchair fantasy analysts wrong by taking a step up in productivity in 2024. For now, we expect Herbert to be a late QB Draft pick after the numerous dual-threat QBs in the NFL.
