Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh announced Monday that QB Justin Herbert won't play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Broncos. The Chargers sit tied with Houston and Buffalo at 11-5, so there's some potential mobility to their seed with Week 18 results. But Harbaugh has clearly decided that getting Herbert -- and potentially others -- healthier for the playoffs matters more than the difference between the No. 5 and No. 7 seeds.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert delivered a big game against Dallas' generous defense on Sunday. Herbert went 23-of-29 passing for 300 yards and 2 TDs. He added 42 yards on eight carries. That included a 1-yard TD plunge late in the second quarter and a 34-yard scramble early in the fourth. Herbert found WR Quentin Johnston from 23 yards out in the first quarter and WR Ladd McConkey from 25 in the second for his TD tosses.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Cowboys. He was listed as questionable after a limited week of practice. Johnston carries elevated risk today and isn’t a recommended fantasy start. He’s averaged just 2.8 catches and 25 yards over his last five games.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cowboys. He got in three limited practices, so we’re expecting him to play. But Johnston, who hasn’t topped 53 yards in a game since Week 4, is not a recommended fantasy start.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (groin) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He went down in last Friday's practice and then missed the Chiefs game, but it looks like he has a chance to make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Cowboys. Johnston's return would take WR Tre Harris out of deep-league consideration.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (groin) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. He injured his groin in Friday’s practice, so this could turn into a multi-game absence. Johnston’s absence today should mean an expanded role for WR Tre Harris, but the rookie isn’t a recommended fantasy start in a struggling Chargers passing game.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Chiefs. He was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday. We’ll look for further updates on Johnston’s status, but he wasn’t a recommended fantasy start to begin with. He’s been held under 10 PPR points in five of his last eight games.

The Chargers went understandably run heavy in Monday night's OT win over the Eagles. They had QB Justin Herbert just a week removed from surgery for a fracture in his left hand, plus they got rookie RB Omarion Hampton back for the first time since Week 5 (ankle injury). But the final tally of 38 team rushes to just 26 pass attempts obscures the true play breakdown. Herbert ran a season-high 10 times for the game, but that included a season-high eight scrambles vs. just two designed runs. Those designed rushes didn't come until the Chargers' final possession of regulation and then their first of OT. And that fourth-quarter carry was actually designed to go to Vidal. Herbert decided to keep it after seeing a pair of defenders disrupt the blocking.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) got in a limited practice on Thursday. He was sporting a bulky brace on that left hand in the portion of practice open to the media. OC Greg Roman said afterward that he's "optimistic" Herbert will be able to play vs. the Eagles on Monday night. We continue to project Herbert to play, which would be good news for Los Angeles' skill-position players. But Herbert will not be a recommended start in 1-QB leagues.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert will undergo surgery on Monday to repair a fracture in his left hand, HC Jim Harbaugh said after the win over the Raiders. Herbert got hurt in the first quarter but returned with protection on his left hand and played the rest of the game. Harbaugh said the team doesn't know yet whether Herbert will miss time. He'll have an extra day to heal ahead of next Monday night's game against the Eagles -- although that could also leave fantasy owners in a tough spot if Herbert's status isn't known by Sunday. We'll keep you updated throughout the week. Herbert's absence would put Trey Lance under center for the Chargers. He'd be a big downgrade for the team's pass catchers but would have some fantasy appeal thanks to his rushing ability.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (shin) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was listed as questionable but practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. We’re not expecting the shin to be an issue in this one. Johnston checks in 27th in the Week 11 WR rankings.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (shin) is expected to play vs. the Jaguars today. Johnston is listed as questionable but practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. We're not expecting the shin to be an issue today. Johnston has a plus matchup against a Jacksonville defense that's struggled against outside WRs.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (shin) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so Johnston should be fine. We’ll get Los Angeles’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston did not hit the stat sheet in Thursday night's win over the Vikings. Zero catches on zero targets. Los Angeles' passing volume was way down in this easy 37-10 win. QB Justin Herbert threw 25 passes after averaging 38.7 over his first seven games. But that's still 25 chances to earn a target, which Johnston did not do.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston managed just 2 catches for 30 yards in Sunday's loss to the Colts. That might make him seem a little left out from a game that included a career-high 420 passing yards from QB Justin Herbert. But Johnston got right back to his normal role after missing week 6 with a hamstring injury.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 7 injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. Johnston returns for a plus matchup against a Colts secondary missing top CB Charvarius Ward.

The Colts have ruled CB Charvarius Ward out for Sunday's game against the Chargers with a concussion. That removes Indy's top corner for a matchup with a loaded set of receivers (assuming Quentin Johnston's ready to go). On the positive side, Colts CB Kenny Moore carries no game designation. That means he's ready to return after missing the past three games with an Achilles' injury.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He was limited all last week before missing the Dolphins game, so this doesn't tell us much about his status for Sunday's game vs. the Colts. We'll see if Johnston can graduate to a full practice one of the next two days.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 7. We’re expecting WR Tre Harris to step into something close to a full-time role today, although the rookie would be a flier in fantasy lineups. WRs Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen gain target upside with Johnston out.
