Daily Dose First Look 16.24

At this point in the season, most trade deadlines have passed so the “Buy Low, Sell High” article no longer makes sense! In its place, on Wednesdays we will give you a quick summary of each game’s important information to know and pay attention to as you get ready for your lineup decisions in these key weeks to end the season and into the playoffs.

Broncos @ Chargers

• Spread/Total: LAC -3, 42
• Weather: Dome
• Key Injuries to Monitor:
  • Chargers WR Quentin Johnston and TE Will Dissly missed practice to start the week. WR Joshua Palmer would see increased work if Johnston misses the game, while TE Stone Smartt would get another start if Dissly misses again.
  • Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin picked up a quad injury in Week 15. If he were to miss, Javonte Williams would have a bigger role and take all the passing down work.
• Matchup Notes:
  • This is the second meeting between these teams, with the Chargers winning the first one, 23-16.
  • The Chargers’ offense has been unable to run the ball since J.K. Dobbins went down with a knee injury, while the Broncos have one of the best secondaries in the league.

Texans @ Chiefs
