The San Diego Chargers and injuries have gone together this year as well as turkey and Thanksgiving, and it does not seem like the pair has plans to split up anytime soon. As more players continue to struggle to stay healthy for the Chargers, it just means that the team will require more of its backups to step up their level of play.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 10: Tyrell Williams in line for a big game
The Chargers’ pass catcher will likely be the team’s number one option at wide receiver this Sunday. We explore the fantasy implications.

With a knee injury likely to keep wide receiver Travis Benjamin out of the team’s game on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, the Chargers are expected to look to fellow pass catcher Tyrell Williams as their No. 1 receiving option this week. Williams currently leads the team in targets and receiving yards this season.
Fantasy Impact: Against the Dolphins on Sunday, San Diego’s young receiver should have a number of opportunities to celebrate a score in the end zone. Not only is Miami allowing the seventh most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers in 2016, but it’s also given up six touchdowns to the position group in its last five games.
Yahoo! is projecting Williams to finish with four catches for 62 yards and one touchdown against the Dolphins on Sunday. There is almost no reason for fantasy owners to not have the Chargers’ receiver in their lineups this week.
