Tre McKitty Fantasy Overview

The Chargers initially left TE Gerald Everett (groin) off the final injury report for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs. But despite finishing the week with a full Friday practice, Everett has now been downgraded to questionable. That could indicate a setback with the groin issue since the initial injury report. We'll watch for reports on his status ahead of the early Sunday games. But it'll be tough to wait on him for a lot of fantasy football lineups. With TE Donald Parham on IR, Tre McKitty would operate as the lead TE if Everett sits. He played a season-high 78% of snaps in last week's loss to the 49ers, drawing 6 targets but catching only 3 for 21 yards. McKitty will be a low-floor fantasy option but can fit nicely as insurance if you are waiting for Everett's game status.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett is questionable to return to Sunday night's game vs. the 49ers with a groin injury. With TE Donald Parham on IR, Los Angeles is down to TE Tre McKitty.

Chargers TE Donald Parham caught all 3 of his targets for 53 yards in Week 6. This followed a 1-target, 0-catch debut in Week 5. The 6'8 skyscraper carries some appeal in ultra-deep TD-only leagues, but note that he ran only 11 routes against Denver. That ranked behind both Gerald Everett (37) and Tre’ McKitty (17).

The Chargers have placed TE Jared Cook on the COVID list, knocking him out for Sunday's game against the Broncos. That leaves Stephen Anderson and Tre' McKitty at TE. Neither is an option for common season-long leagues. Anderson could be in play for DFS consideration at minimum salary.
