The Los Angeles Chargers will be without their leading receiver, Ladd McConkey, due to knee and shoulder injuries in their matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. This absence is expected to significantly impact quarterback Justin Herbert's fantasy potential. With McConkey sidelined, Josh Palmer is anticipated to take on a larger role in the slot, while other receivers like Jalen Reagor, Derius Davis, and D.J. Chark may also see increased playing time. Tight end Will Dissly could benefit from additional targets as well.

Following a disappointing 17-15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the Los Angeles Chargers' offense has come under scrutiny, particularly their struggles in the red zone. Quarterback Justin Herbert emphasized the need for improvement in finishing drives, while wide receivers held a locker room discussion to address their inconsistencies. Despite Herbert's strong passing performance, the team failed to score an offensive touchdown, marking a concerning trend for the Chargers this season.

Jalen Reagor of the New England Patriots returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown against the Buffalo Bills, giving the Patriots an early lead.

JuJu Smith-Schuster of the New England Patriots will not be playing in Sunday night's game against the Broncos due to an ankle injury. The Patriots' top four wide receivers for the game will be Demario Douglas, DeVante Parker, Jalen Reagor, and Tyquan Thornton, with Douglas being the highest-ranked in the Week 16 WR Rankings.

DeVante Parker, along with Demario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte, is inactive for the Patriots' game against the Steelers. The Patriots will have JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Reagor, and Matthew Slater as their active wide receivers.

Demario Douglas, wide receiver for the New England Patriots, has been ruled out for Thursday's game at Pittsburgh due to a concussion. DeVante Parker and JuJu Smith-Schuster are expected to be the primary wide receivers for the Patriots in Douglas' absence.

Demario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte, wide receivers for the New England Patriots, will not be playing in Sunday's game against the Chargers. This leaves the Patriots with DeVante Parker, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, and Jalen Reagor as their available wide receivers. While Parker, Smith-Schuster, and Thornton could be options in daily fantasy sports (DFS), it is advised not to make any changes in season-long fantasy leagues.

DeVante Parker, wide receiver for the New England Patriots, has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts due to a concussion. This leaves Demario Douglas as the likely leader in targets for the Patriots, with Jalen Reagor, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Tyquan Thornton rounding out the wide receiver corps.

DeVante Parker, wide receiver for the New England Patriots, will not be playing in Sunday's game against the Commanders due to a concussion. It is uncertain if he will be cleared for Week 10. With Kendrick Bourne out for the season with a torn ACL, the Patriots are left with Demario Douglas, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Jalen Reagor, Tyquan Thornton, and Kayshon Boutte as their wide receivers. Thornton is questionable for Week 9 with a foot injury. Douglas is expected to be the primary target and is a viable option as a WR4 or flex play in PPR leagues.

Tyquan Thornton has been activated from IR and is set to make his 2023 debut for the Patriots against the Raiders. However, he is not recommended for fantasy lineups in Week 6. The Patriots have also elevated Jalen Reagor from the practice squad.
