Eddie Royal - WR - Chargers

Eddie Royal (toe, chest) remained out of Chargers practice Thursday.

Royal is trending toward missing his second consecutive game, though it's possible he'll end up a game-time decision. Either way, he's a no go as a WR5 with the Bolts not kicking off until 4:25 PM ET.

Johnnie Troutman - G - Chargers

Chargers LG Johnnie Troutman has been demoted out of the starting lineup.

Troutman drew the ire of coach Mike McCoy when he was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty late in the fourth quarter last week. So with LT King Dunlap (neck) getting back, the Chargers can start D.J. Fluker at right tackle, Jeromey Clary at right guard and Chad Rinehart at left guard. It's the first time their offensive line has been intact since Weeks 1 and 2.

Eddie Royal - WR - Chargers

Eddie Royal (toe, chest) did not practice Wednesday.

Royal hasn't practiced for weeks and missed his first game last week against Cincinnati. The WR5 is day-to-day and is questionable for Week 14.

Antonio Gates - TE - Chargers

Antonio Gates (hamstring) is practicing Wednesday.

Gates missed practice last Wednesday and Thursday, so he's feeling better after playing 62-of-67 snaps against the Bengals. He'll be a borderline TE1 this week against the Giants. Ladarius Green could eat into his targets.

Danny Woodhead - RB - Chargers

Danny Woodhead played on 28-of-67 snaps in last week's loss to the Bengals.

Woodhead finished with just seven carries and two catches on three targets. The decreased usage has become something of a trend as he's averaged only 29.0 snaps and 9.0 touches across the last four games. In the seven games before that, he was at 36.7 snaps and 14.2 touches a day. Woodhead is still a RB2 candidate in PPR formats, but the floor is getting lower as his volume decreases.

Ladarius Green - TE - Chargers

Ladarius Green played on 61-of-67 snaps (91.0 percent) in Sunday's loss to the Bengals.

In-line option Antonio Gates played on 62 snaps, creating a two-tight end base formation. "That's a package we're building," Gates said. "It'll be good for us to help us win football games." Green is the 6'6/238 athletic freak with 4.4 wheels that is now averaging an absurd 22.1 yards per catch on the season and has two touchdowns on 11 targets in his last two games. The Chargers coaches have clearly identified him as a player that needs to be featured in the passing game and will be rewarded for it. Green will be a borderline TE1 against the Giants even if Eddie Royal (chest, toe) returns.

Vincent Brown - WR - Chargers

Vincent Brown was held to one catch for 16 yards in San Diego's Week 13 loss to the Bengals.

The one-catch afternoon came despite the fact that Eddie Royal (toe, chest) was inactive. Brown is now on pace for a hugely disappointing 44/467/1 stat-line. Simply not living up to the lofty expectations he set before missing the entire 2012 season with a broken ankle, Brown is not a must-hold in Dynasty leagues.
Dec 1 - 8:23 PM
Ladarius Green - TE - Chargers

Ladarius Green caught two passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in San Diego's Week 13 loss to the Bengals.

Although the catches and yards were down from Green's impressive Weeks 11-12, he actually drew a season-high six targets. His score came on play action in the second quarter, where he went untouched 30 yards to the house, looking like a wide receiver in the process. The Bolts are wisely putting Green's play-making skills to more use of late, but his role still isn't big enough that he can be trusted for the fantasy playoffs. Green will be a candidate to take a major step forward in 2014.
Dec 1 - 8:15 PM
Antonio Gates - TE - Chargers

Playing through a hamstring injury, Antonio Gates caught five passes for 41 yards in San Diego's Week 13 loss to the Bengals, also losing a fumble.

Gates lost another fumble, but it went down as a Philip Rivers interception because the ball never hit the ground. It was another dud of an afternoon for a player who hasn't posted more than 62 yards since Week 5. Gates is on pace for a solid 85/968/5 line, but that's largely due to the work he did in September. He's on the TE1 borderline for the fantasy playoffs.
Dec 1 - 8:11 PM
Keenan Allen - WR - Chargers

Keenan Allen caught eight passes for 106 yards in San Diego's Week 13 loss to the Bengals, but also lost a fumble.

Allen's fourth-quarter fumble could have been a game killer, but the Bolts forced a turnover of their own just moments later. The cough up was the first of Allen's career. Allen's impressive route running was on display all afternoon. Allen moves exceptionally quick for a player who is so fluid. With four games to go, Allen is on pace for 79 catches, 1,150 yards and four touchdowns. The WR2 will be in the WR1 conversation in 2014.
Dec 1 - 8:07 PM
Danny Woodhead - RB - Chargers

Danny Woodhead rushed seven times for 22 yards in San Diego's Week 13 loss to the Bengals, adding two catches for just 13 yards.

Today was just the third time all season that Woodhead was held to fewer than four catches, but second in three weeks. He got out-touched 19-9 by a gimpy Ryan Mathews (hamstring), and out-gained 92-35. The 35 yards from scrimmage were Woodhead's fewest since Week 1. With four games to go, Woodhead is on pace for 1,027 yards from scrimmage, and 81 catches. He'll be a PPR RB2 for the fantasy playoffs, and solid FLEX option in standard leagues.
Dec 1 - 7:59 PM
Ryan Mathews - RB - Chargers

Ryan Mathews rushed 14 times for 61 yards in San Diego's Week 13 loss to the Bengals, adding five catches for an additional 31 yards.

Mathews' hamstring didn't appear to be an issue in the rare game where he had a better day receiving than Danny Woodhead. Mathews out-touched Woodhead 19-9. Having avoided further injury, Mathews will be good to go as a mid-range RB2 against the Giants in Week 14. With 75 percent of the season now through, Mathews is on pace for 1,043 yards rushing, and five total touchdowns. The 1K campaign would be his second in three years.
Dec 1 - 7:56 PM
Philip Rivers - QB - Chargers

Philip Rivers completed 23-of-37 passes for 252 yards, one touchdown and one interception in San Diego's 17-10, Week 13 loss to the Bengals.

Rivers' score was a 30-yard strike on play action to impressive second-year TE Ladarius Green, while his "interception" was more of an Antonio Gates fumble. Rivers had trouble dialing up long gains, but was hurt immensely by Gates and Keenan Allen fumbles. With 75 percent of the season now in the books, Rivers is on pace for 4,844 yards, 31 touchdowns and just 12 interceptions. The yards would be a career high, while the picks would be his fewest since 2009. Rivers has an appetizing Week 14 matchup in a home date with the Giants.
Dec 1 - 7:36 PM
Ryan Mathews - RB - Chargers

Ryan Mathews (hamstring) is active for Week 13 against the Bengals.

One of the more brittle players in football, Mathews will be at risk of an in-game aggravation. He's a borderline RB2 for Week 13.
Dec 1 - 3:16 PM
Eddie Royal - WR - Chargers

Eddie Royal (chest, toe) is inactive for Week 13.

Royal had been playing through the toe injury, but the chest issue was too much to overcome. The WR4/5 should be considered week to week.
