Justin Herbert

It was Gadsden's first game with more than two receptions since early November, and he led all Chargers pass catchers in receiving yards in another low-volume outing for Justin Herbert in an increasingly run-heavy LA offense. Gadsden logged a pass route on 22 of the Chargers' 32 drop backs against KC. It's a decent rate, but one that keeps Gadsden as a thin option in 12-team fantasy leagues. Gadsden should be in lineups next week against a vulnerable Dallas coverage unit.

Herbert completed 19 of 29 passes for 210 yards with a touchdown and an interception while rushing twice for no gain in the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

The Chargers eliminated the Chiefs from playoff contention with a 16-13 win at Arrowhead, sealing it when Derwin James intercepted Gardner Minshew in the final seconds after Patrick Mahomes exited with a knee injury. Justin Herbert, playing through a broken left hand, threw a touchdown as Los Angeles completed a rare season sweep of Kansas City and secured back-to-back 10-win seasons.

It was the Chargers' third straight massively run-heavy game as Jim Harbaugh's team tries to muddle through the rest of the season without left tackle Joe Alt. The Chargers kept the Chiefs off the field for much of the first half and Hebert did just enough to keep the KC defense honest with a few clutch third down throws. The win for LA knocks the Chiefs out of postseason contention -- an unthinkable outcome even a month ago. The Bolts' recent run-first ways lops off a chunk of weekly upside for Herbert and the team's pass catchers. They'll take on the Cowboys in Week 16.

The Chiefs are looking to keep their season alive, but the Chargers are hot on their tails.
