Chargers' Elijah Molden: Another interception in win
Molden recorded four tackles (three solo), and an interception in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Broncos.
Molden started at slot cornerback with Ja'Sir Taylor (leg) out, and he capitalized against rookie QB Bo Nix, recording his second interception of the season. Molden has played at both slot and outside cornerback during his first season with the Chargers, recording 22 tackles (13 solo), two interceptions and a fumble recovery.

Chargers' Alohi Gilman: First career sack
Gilman recorded 10 tackles (six solo), a sack and a pass breakup in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Broncos.
Gilman notched his first career sack and the first 10-tackle game since Week 1 of last season. Prior to this outing, Gilman had posted just 13 tackles through three games, so his IDP upside remains limited considering sacks and interceptions weren't a large part of his game through the first four years of his career.

Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Scores first career touchdown
Vidal carried the ball four times for 11 yards and also caught both of his targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the 23-16 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Vidal's touchdown came on a brilliantly schemed wheel route in the first quarter, as the rookie caught a perfectly thrown ball in stride for a 30-yard touchdown. Otherwise the 2024 sixth-round pick was held in check as J.K. Dobbins saw a large workload (25 carries, two targets) in the first game since Gus Edwards (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. It's at least encouraging to see Vidal push aside Hassan Haskins (two carries, five yards), who had been playing over the rookie on game days to give the team some special-teams versatility. Expect Vidal to see a few more opportunities in the coming weeks as the Chargers look to replace the loss of Edwards.

Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Muted performance in win
Johnston caught three of his four targets for 22 yards in the 23-16 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Johnston's longest reception was only eight yards, underscoring what was the 23-year-old's second consecutive disappointing fantasy performance, though he did suffer an ankle injury in the game and missed some action. This was the fourth game in which the Chargers attempted more runs than passes; even though Johnston is one of the team's top passing options, the offense's sheer disinterest in passing the ball will make the 2023 first-round pick an unreliable option most weeks. If there's one glimmer of hope, quarterback Justin Herbert did fling it 34 times Sunday, though the Chargers ultimately took the foot off the pedal while protecting a big lead.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Leads team in targets
McConkey caught four of his eight targets for 43 yards in the 23-16 victory over the Broncos on Sunday.
McConkey led the team in targets by a wide margin, but quarterback Justin Herbert spread the ball around plenty as nine different players caught a pass in this contest. The rookie second-round pick briefly left the game in the first half due to an injury, but he was able to return relatively quickly. The 22-year-old has at least six targets in all but one game this season, though Los Angeles' run-heavy approach has limited McConkey's weekly fantasy upside.

Chargers' J.K. Dobbins: Over century mark in total yards
Dobbins carried the ball 25 times for 96 yards and a touchdown in the 23-16 win over the Broncos on Sunday. He also caught both of his targets for six yards.
Dobbins was effectively held in check as he averaged under four yards a carry, but quarterback Justin Herbert was brilliant in the first half, helping the offense expand a three-score lead that seemed insurmountable. Perhaps more importantly, Dobbins easily set a season high in carries, in part because of the game script, but this was also the first game without Gus Edwards (ankle), who was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Rookie Kimani Vidal (four carries 11 yards plus two catches for 40 yards and a touchdown) will likely get more involved as the weeks progress, but Dobbins appears to have a significant lock on the backfield at the moment.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Season high in passing yards
Herbert completed 21 of his 34 attempts for 237 yards and a touchdown in the 23-16 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Herbert has had significantly better statistical days, but make no mistake, Sunday was one of the best outings of his career. Despite facing a Broncos secondary that had rightfully earned the reputation as one of the best in the league, the Pro Bowl signal caller was flinging it all around the field throughout the first half while dropping dimes against single coverage and throwing frozen ropes on 15-yard first-down darts. It was even more impressive given Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey both left at various points in the first half, although his top two targets did return during the contest. Herbert tallied a season-high 184 yards in the first half, and with the Chargers up three scores until the fourth quarter, the offense was content sitting on the ball over the course of the final 30 minutes. The 26-year-old could be poised to build off this performance against a Cardinals defense that allowed four passing touchdowns against the Packers in Week 6.

Chargers' Kristian Fulton: Injures hamstring Sunday
Fulton suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's contest at Denver.
At the time of his departure in the third quarter, Fulton had one solo tackle to his name. With Ja'Sir Taylor (leg) inactive, Deane Leonard (hamstring) ruled out of Sunday's game, and now Fulton banged up, Cam Hart and Dicaprio Bootle are the only healthy, active Chargers cornerbacks.

Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Ruled out of Sunday's game
Hurst (groin) won't return to Sunday's game at Denver.
Hurst left in the first half without being targeted by quarterback Justin Herbert. Now that Hurst officially has been ruled out for the rest of Week 6, Will Dissly, Eric Tomlinson and Stone Smartt will handle TE duties for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

Chargers' Deane Leonard: Will not return
Leonard (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Leonard suited up in Week 6 despite his questionable designation due to the same injury, but ultimately it appears he wasn't healthy enough to play. The 24-year-old will try to return in Week 7 against the Cardinals.

Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Returns to game
Johnston returned to Sunday's game against the Broncos after having previously exited the contest due an an ankle injury.
Both Johnston and Ladd McConkey were shaken up during Sunday's game but were subsequently able to return to the field. They, along with Joshua Palmer, will thus continue to lead a Chargers' Week 6 WR corps that also includes Simi Fehoko and Derius Davis.

Chargers' Deane Leonard: Leaves game early
Leonard (hamstring) has exited Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Leonard was questionable for Sunday's game with the same injury but ultimately suited up. However, it appears the Ole Miss product aggravated the injury and is now questionable to return.
