L.A. Chargers @ Denver
Team Totals: Broncos 20.5, Chargers 17
Eliminated from playoff contention and their coaching staff cleared out, the Chargers now encounter a likewise laying-down Broncos team benching its pricey veteran quarterback. Easton Stick has registered fantasy finishes of QB7 (@ LV) and QB19 (vs. BUF) through two starts and appears likely to play Week 17 without Keenan Allen (heel) and Josh Palmer (concussion). Denver’s D/ST is fully usable. … With nothing left to play for, Austin Ekeler’s Week 17 role and buy-in are fair to question, especially with his contract expiring. No one should be surprised to see a bit more of Isaiah Spiller and Josh Kelley here. … Gerald Everett has been Stick’s 2023 go-to guy, commanding a team-high 20 targets on Stick’s 90 throws. Everett is an enticing Week 17 streamer against a Broncos defense surrendering the NFL’s most fantasy points to tight ends. … Stick is 6-of-10 passing for 131 yards and a touchdown when targeting Quentin Johnston this year. Johnston is also the Bolts’ likeliest candidate to draw Broncos top CB Patrick Surtain’s coverage. … The Chargers’ WR depth chart is rounded out by Alex Erickson and Jalen Guyton. I’m passing on both.
