Let's keep the dynasty fantasy football overview of NFL teams series going by looking over the Los Angeles Chargers.

We have already looked at the Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Bills, Ravens, Vikings and Commanders. I plan to cover every NFL team, so keep checking back for more!

Quarterbacks

Justin Herbert is the team's quarterback, and that should remain the case for several more years yet. 

I'm higher on Herbert than most, and have him as my No. 7 dynasty quarterback right now. He's just 27 years old and is coming off a great season, so I think it's warranted.

He threw for 3,870 yards, 23 touchdowns and just three interceptions last season, while adding 306 rushing yards and two scores across 17 games. Even when his interceptions go up, more yards and touchdowns will result in similar, or better, fantasy seasons.

I think Herbert will remain a top-10 quarterback for several more seasons, and he's young enough to still build around. I'm not sure if Herbert will ever be higher than seventh on my list, so it begs the question if you should be trading him now.

I think he's capable of more, even if he never moves up that dynasty list, so I'm more inclined to roster or acquire him. We can reassess things after the season.

Taylor Heinicke is likely the top backup if Herbert gets hurt this season. That gives him some fantasy value, but obviously not much. He's 32 years old, and doesn't have much dynasty value remaining already.

Trey Lance and DJ Uiagalelei are at least dynasty assets to mention. Lance is on his third team already, but is just 25 years old. I could see him getting another chance at a starting spot at some point, but he'd likely need an injury to Herbert to prove himself this season. 

Uiagalelei had a disappointing finish to his collegiate career and wasn't drafted as a result. I doubt he ever becomes anything more than a backup, but he's worth tracking in the preseason and early in his NFL career.

Running Backs

Omarion Hampton was drafted in the second round in the most recent draft, so he's the team's lead back of the future. Najee Harris was added in free agency, so it'll likely be more of a committee this season.

Hassan Haskins, Kimani Vidal, Jaret Patterson and Raheim Sanders are other backs on the roster for now.

Hampton was a stud in college and has huge expectations going into his NFL career. I'm high on him too and have him ranked seventh on my top-10 dynasty back list.

The 22-year-old might not erupt in his rookie season with Harris around, but that could also help his longevity in the league. I'd be all for rostering Hampton in all dynasty leagues, and he should be a good weekly option in his rookie campaign.

Harris is 27 years old, so he's got some fantasy value both in redraft and dynasty leagues. 

He split the workload in Pittsburgh already, so going to LA won't change much for him. Harris is a solid secondary fantasy running back, who is startable in the right matchups this season.

He doesn't have a ton of dynasty trade value, but I'd at least throw his name out there, because his value should only decrease from here.

Haskins had 138 yards and three scores over 17 games with LA last season. He could be a cut candidate if one of the younger backs excels in camp or the preseason. Haskins is 25 years old, so he should get another chance if he does get cut, but there's not much dynasty value here for now.

Patterson is also 25 years old. He appeared in just one game for LA last season and has played in only 21 games since he made his NFL debut in 2021 - 17 of those games were in his rookie season.

Vidal was the team's sixth-round pick in 2024. Over 10 games, he had 217 yards and a score. He could supplant Haskins, but he'd have a hard time getting involved offensively unless Harris or Hampton are out for extended periods.

Sanders was once a great prospect, but he fizzled out and wasn't even drafted this offseason. I mention him in case he reverts back to that big-time prospect he once was - he's got an uphill climb to become relevant.

Wide Receivers

Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and rookie Tre Harris are the projected starting wide receivers for Los Angeles. Rookie Keandre Lambert-Smith, Jalen Reagor, Derius Davis and Brenden Rice are some other options.

None of them are on my top-10 dynasty list, but McConkey could get there one day.

McConkey was a second-round pick in 2024 and went for 1,149 yards and seven scores as a rookie. His future is incredibly bright, and even with some of the team's changes at wideout, McConkey should still power the group.

McConkey might cost a lot, but if you want him, the time to buy is now. His dynasty value should only increase from here.

Johnston had a better second season, with 717 yards and eight scores, but he's still been underwhelming since being the No. 21 overall pick in the 2024 draft.

His time to prove himself could be running out in LA, as the team keeps drafting wideouts around him. Johnston is a secondary option to McConkey already, and could slip behind a few other guys before the end of this season.

If you still believe in Johnston, now is a time to buy low on him. I'm not sure his dynasty value will grow much in LA, so his owners are likely going to be hoping for a change of scenery someday.

Harris was the team's second-round pick this offseason. He already appears set to start, and will have massive fantasy expectations in his rookie season.

His dynasty value is already pretty solid, and it could erupt with a good rookie season. Harris is one to roster in all dynasty leagues, and he should be usable in most leagues this year.

Reagor is a possible cut candidate, especially if the younger wideouts look good before the season. He's 26 years old and doesn't have much fantasy value in redraft or dynasty leagues anyways.

Davis has just 318 yards and three scores over his first two NFL seasons. The fourth-round pick is running out of time to make a difference in LA, and he's likely going to be buried on the depth chart. The 24-year-old will need injuries to get on the field this season.

Rice was a seventh-round pick last season and had high hopes as the son of Jerry Rice. He got in three games, but didn't get a target last season. He might make the team, but be buried on the depth chart unless there's a multitude of injuries ahead of him.

Lambert-Smith was a fifth-round pick this season, so he has some dynasty value going into the year. He could eventually take Johnston's spot, so that will be something to watch, and makes him worth stashing in some deeper dynasty setups.

Tight Ends

Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin are some veteran options at tight end for LA, while rookie Oronde Gadsden is another option.

None are remotely close to my top-10 dynasty TE list.

Dissly played in 15 games for LA last season, tallying 481 yards and two touchdowns. LA needs more from the tight end position, and the 29-year-old Dissly probably doesn't have much more to give.

Conklin had 449 yards and four touchdowns with the Jets over 16 games last season. He's topped out at 621 yards in his seven-year career. He's 29 years old as well.

Conklin and Dissly should play plenty this season, but neither are good fantasy options, in redraft or dynasty leagues. I like Conklin to be the better fantasy asset, but I see LA addressing the position again, unless Gadsden breaks out.

Gadsden was a fifth-round pick this offseason. The 22-year-old had a couple big collegiate seasons, so there's a little dynasty intrigue with him. 

It'd need to be a pretty deep league to stash Gadsden in. He's a name to keep tabs on during camp and the preseason. Maybe in time he can become the team's go-to tight end.
