2026 Week 4 Fantasy Football Injury Report: Chargers Questionable Tag Hits Trey Lance, Ladd McConkey, and More
Los Angeles has a crowded injury report heading into Week 4, with their starting QB and top WR both uncertain to play.
According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), the Chargers have listed quarterback Trey Lance (groin), wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot), and safety Derwin James Jr. (hamstring) as questionable for Week 4. Four other players were ruled out entirely. The most urgent fantasy questions center on Lance and McConkey — they're connected, and if one sits, the other's value changes dramatically.
Trey Lance
Lance is questionable with a groin injury after being limited in Friday's practice. ProFootballTalk notes he cleared a similar questionable tag in Week 3 and played, so there's precedent for him suiting up — but groin injuries can linger and tighten up on game day. If Lance is out, DJ Uiagalelei is next on the Chargers' depth chart per the report. Lance owners should monitor Sunday morning status updates before locking in a lineup decision.
Ladd McConkey
McConkey's foot injury makes him a genuine game-time call, and his status is directly tied to Lance's. If Lance sits and Uiagalelei steps in, McConkey's floor drops further — a backup QB running an offense is a tough spot for any pass-catcher. If both are active, McConkey is worth the risk as likely the top target in this offense. If McConkey sits, look elsewhere; the source story does not identify a clear handoff for his targets.
Keaton Mitchell
Mitchell is the good news on this injury report. He wore a walking boot earlier in the week, but ProFootballTalk reports he was a full participant Friday and carries no injury designation heading into Week 4. He's good to go — no need to sweat his status further.
Charlie Kolar
Kolar (forearm) has been ruled out per the report. He has no fantasy value this week. The source story doesn't name a replacement tight end, so there's no obvious streaming upside to mine from his absence.
Brenen Thompson
Thompson (quadriceps) has also been ruled out. The source story lists him as ruled out, so despite the "questionable" tag in the player data, treat him as inactive for Week 4 planning purposes.
