Derwin James Suspended vs. Chiefs
Derwin James Suspended vs. Chiefs
The NFL has suspended Chargers S Derwin James one game for "repeated violations" of the safety rules. James was most recently flagged for an illegal hit in the loss to the Steelers. His seven such penalties since 2018 tie him for second-most in the NFL, but he has reached that number in fewer games than other "leaders" in the category. James appealed the suspension, but it was upheld. So he'll miss Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Elijah Molden looks likely to fill in.
Derwin James active
Derwin James active
Chargers S Derwin James (ankle) is active for today's game against the Chiefs. We knocked him down the Week 7 rankings for the injury anyway, and there's clearly risk to using James in IDP lineups. But he's available if you need him.
Derwin James questionable; Alohi Gilman out again
Derwin James questionable; Alohi Gilman out again
Chargers S Derwin James is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. He suffered an ankle injury Thursday and then missed Friday's workout. That bodes ill for James' chances this weekend, but we haven't yet seen any specifics beyond the questionable tag. We've moved James down our Week 7 DB rankings and will watch for more on his outlook. S Alohi Gilman (toe) has been ruled out for the third straight game.
Derwin James ain't scoring like he used to. Let's look at what's been getting in his way, what's still to like, and plenty more IDP situations around the league.
