Joshua Palmer - Strong production on two targets Palmer brought in two of four targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Impact Palmer made good use of his pair of grabs, recording a 28-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter and adding a 26-yard catch on the final drive of the first half. Palmer was also credited with an additional nine receiving yards on an end-of-half lateral, leading to his third straight game with 60-plus receiving yards. Palmer has yet to see more than five targets in any game this season, however, so he remains a somewhat risky option dependent on efficiency heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the Titans.

Ladd McConkey - Five catches in win McConkey secured five of seven targets for 64 yards in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Impact McConkey set the pace in receptions and targets for the Chargers while checking in second in receiving yards to Quentin Johnston. The rookie has shown consistently improving chemistry with Justin Herbert, now having recorded at least five receptions in four of the last five contests. McConkey next takes aim at the Titans in a Week 10 home matchup.

Quentin Johnston - Stellar showing in return Johnston secured four of five targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Impact Johnston comfortably led the Chargers in receiving yards while checking in second in receptions and targets to Ladd McConkey. The highlight of the speedy second-year wideout's return from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury was a 66-yard touchdown grab on a busted coverage on the part of the Browns in the second quarter, Johnston's fourth score of the season. Johnston's receiving yards were also a season high, affording plenty of momentum heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the Titans.

J.K. Dobbins - Finds end zone again Sunday Dobbins rushed 14 times for 85 yards and two touchdowns and brought in both targets for 20 yards in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Impact Dobbins had his share of struggles finding running room, but he broke off a 34-yard run with just under six minutes remaining to give his efficiency a boost. Dobbins logged a touch on all four plays in that same march, capping it off with a seven-yard touchdown run that served as his third score in the last four games. Dobbins' yardage total was his fourth highest of the season overall, and he also carries a six-game streak with multiple receptions into a Week 10 home matchup against the Titans.

12 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Justin Herbert - Strong showing in win Herbert completed 18 of 27 passes for 282 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed three times for two yards in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Impact Herbert continued his upward trajectory through the air with another successful passing performance Sunday, posting his third straight total of over 275 passing yards while also tossing multiple touchdowns for the second consecutive contest. Sunday, those scoring throws went to Joshua Palmer (28 yards) and Quentin Johnston (66 yards) in the first and second quarters, respectively, with both plays resulting at least partly due to busted coverages. In addition to his increased efficiency, Herbert also has a six-game streak without an interception heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the Titans.

Simi Fehoko - Exits with elbow injury Fehoko is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Browns due to an elbow injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Fehoko failed to bring in his only target prior to exiting the game. The severity of his elbow injury is unknown at this time.

13 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Junior Colson - Downgraded to out Colson (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game versus the Browns.

Impact Colson exited with an ankle injury, which is severe enough to keep him from returning. As a result, Troy Dye will be the prime option to backup Denzel Perryman at inside linebacker.

14 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Ja'Sir Taylor - Questionable to return Taylor is questionable return to Sunday's game verus the Browns due to a leg injury, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Specifically, Taylor injured his fibula. In his absence, Elijah Molden figures to fill in at the slot cornerback position. The severity of Taylor's injury is unknown at this time.

14 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Junior Colson - Considered questionable to return Colson is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Browns due to an ankle injury.

Impact It is unclear how serious the ankle injury is for Colson. In his absence, Troy Dye is the likely candidate to backup Denzel Perryman at inside linebacker.

15 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Stone Smartt - Inactive Sunday Smartt (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Browns.

Impact No surprise here, as Smartt was deemed doubtful for Sunday's contest. He was unable to practice throughout the week due to an ankle injury. In his absence, Hayden Hurst and Eric Tomlinson will be the backup options at tight end behind Will Dissly.

17 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Denzel Perryman - Set to suit up Sunday Perryman (toe) is active for Sunday's Week 9 clash against Cleveland.

Impact Perryman logged a DNP/DNP/LP progression during practice this week, but that will be enough for him to be able to take the field Sunday. The veteran linebacker played through his toe injury last Sunday versus the Saints as well but logged a season-low 35 percent of Los Angeles' defensive snaps, so it's possible he's on a reduced snap count against the Browns again this weekend. Perryman has 42 tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, through seven games on the campaign.

17 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Joey Bosa - Active for Week 9 Bosa (hip) is not among the Chargers' inactives for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland.

Impact A lingering hip injury resulted in Bosa being deemed questionable heading into Sunday, but he'll be able to play through the issue for a second straight week following a three-game absence. The veteran pass rusher logged only 26 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps against New Orleans last Sunday, and he may similarly be on a reduced snap count against the Browns. Bosa has 2.0 sacks through four contests this season.

17 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

DJ Chark Jr. - Inactive Sunday Chark (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact The Chargers activated Chark (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, but he'll have to wait at least another week before making his season debut. In his continued absence, Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer and Simi Fehoko are set to lead the Chargers' Week 9 wideout corps, with Jalen Reagor and Derius Davis also on hand.

Jalen Reagor - Elevated for Week 9 The Chargers elevated Reagor from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact Reagor will give the Bolts some additional depth at wide receiver for Sunday's game against the Browns. It's the third and final time he can be elevated from the practice squad, meaning he'll have to be signed to the active roster if the Chargers wish to continue playing him. Across his two regular-season outings, Reagor has caught all three of his targets for 76 yards.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Brenden Rice - Placed on IR with shoulder injury The Chargers placed Rice (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Rice was already ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, but he will now be forced to sit for at least the next four regular-season contests. The earliest Rice can return from IR is Week 13 against the Falcons on Sunday, Dec. 1.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

DJ Chark Jr. - Back on active roster The Chargers activated Chark (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

Impact Chark is closing in on his season debut, and considering he capped Week 9 prep with back-to-back full practices, he may be able to make an instant impact in the Chargers' receiving corps, assuming he's made active about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If that comes to pass, Chark will have to contend with rookie Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer and Simi Fehoko for snaps and targets.
