Injured DeAndre Carter Questionable To Return SaturdayLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver DeAndre Carter (ankle) is questionable to return against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He injured himself in the second quarter of Saturday's Wild Card game after racking up two catches for 17 yards. With Carter sidelined and Mike Williams (back) ruled out, Los Angeles will move forward with Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer, and Michael Bandy leading its wide receiver position.

Injured Mike Williams Has Chance To Play Next WeekLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) has an "outside chance" to play in the Divisional Round, assuming the team advances that far, according to a report from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Williams appeared in 13 games this year, which was the lowest mark since his rookie season. The 28-year-old totaled 63 catches, 895 yards, and four touchdowns. He'll be a strong DFS option once he returns in the playoffs, but until then, look for Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter to see more snaps alongside Keenan Allen.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) suffered a small non-surgical fracture in his back in the Week 18 regular season finale that is expected to keep him out for the next two to three weeks, according to sources. It means that barring a Chargers Super Bowl run, Williams' season is likely over. Head coach Brandon Staley is probably wishing he didn't play his starters so deep into a meaningless game last Sunday. With Williams out for the foreseeable future, it makes quarterback Justin Herbert slightly less attractive in playoff leagues, while Keenan Allen should be a target hog in this offense. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will also have bigger roles and are absolutely worth a look as low-cost DFS sleeper selections.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) has been ruled out for the wild-card game on Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Williams didn't practice at all this week and was listed as questionable on the final injury report on Thursday, but he has since been downgraded to out. Head coach Brandon Staley curiously played the starters late into a meaningless Week 18 contest last week, and he paid the price with Williams getting hurt. If the Bolts get past the Jags this weekend, it's unclear if Williams would be able to make it back for the Divisional Round. With Williams out, it puts a damper on quarterback Justin Herbert's fantasy appeal, while top wideout Keenan Allen should be a target hog. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter also become interesting DFS sleeper plays.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) did not participate in Thursday's practice and is officially questionable for the wild-card game this Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Brandon Staley says there's a genuine chance that Williams plays despite not practicing this week, and Staley confirmed that Williams will travel with the squad. The team will likely wait until closer to game-time before making a final decision. The 28-year-old appears to be risky DFS option considering he's not 100 percent healthy heading into this game. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on Williams.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) did not participate in the team's practice on Wednesday. Williams suffered a back injury during the Chargers' Week 18 contest and should be considered questionable to suit up against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. Head coach Brandon Staley expressed on Monday that he expects the 28-year-old to practice at some point ahead of Saturday's matchup, so Williams' activity will be worth monitoring throughout the rest of the week.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice. Williams suffered a back injury in the Week 18 regular season finale and had to be carted to the locker room. However, X-rays came back negative and the 28-year-old is believed to be dealing with nothing more than a back contusion. Head coach Brandon Staley said on Monday that he thinks Williams will be able to practice at some point this week. Still, it casts some doubt about how healthy he'll actually be in the wild-card game this Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars if he's active. As long as Williams practices on Wednesday or Thursday, he should be active, but then the question becomes: Should fantasy managers trust him?

Injured Rashawn Slater Designated To Return From Injured ReserveLos Angeles Chargers offensive tackle Rashawn Slater (biceps) has been designated to return from the injured reserve. Slater has been out since he tore his biceps tendon towards the end of September. He won't suit up for the playoff matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, Slater has a chance at returning during the postseason, assuming the Chargers advance. He would certainly give his offensive line a boost if he's able to get back on the field this season.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that wide receiver Mike Williams' (back) MRI exam showed no fractures or muscle injuries in his back. Williams is dealing with a contusion, and Staley expects him to return to practice at some point this week. It's great news for the 28-year-old after he was injured in a meaningless Week 18 regular season finale against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Williams finished the regular season with 63 catches on 93 targets for 895 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games played, and he'll be a critical part of the Bolts offense on wild-card weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars if he's able to play. If he's limited at all or inactive, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would handle bigger roles behind Keenan Allen.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) suffered a back injury in the Week 18 loss to the Denver Broncos and was seen limping out of the locker room after the game, barely able to put any weight on his left side. X-rays at the stadium came back negative, but his lower-back injury will be further evaluated on Monday. Head coach Brandon Staley made the questionable decision to play his starters on Sunday in a meaningless game -- the Chargers had already locked up the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs. Although his X-rays were negative, it doesn't mean that Williams will be ready to play in the wild-card round this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which would be a big loss for the offense. If Big Mike is unavailable, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will have bigger roles alongside target hog Keenan Allen.
