The San Diego Chargers are a little short-handed as far as offensive weapons go. Running back Ryan Mathews is out and receiver Keenan Allen is not expected to play for the season finale, which is tough because they're going to need a lot of help against a stingy Kansas City Chiefs pass defense.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 17: Malcom Floyd and Eddie Royal
The Chargers lit it up in Week 16. Should fantasy owners look to cash in again?

The Chiefs haven’t allowed more than one passing TD to receivers in any game this season, which says something considering they’ve played against a number of great quarterbacks. The Chargers didn’t do much against them back in Week 7, catching just 10 passes as a WR unit for 128 yards.
It'll be Malcom Floyd and Eddie Royal doing most of the work on the outside for the Chargers in Week 17. Royal is coming in a little hot with 10 catches for 94 yards and one score against a solid San Francisco 49ers defense in Week 16. Floyd had a score as part of his four-catch, 50-yard game.
Fantasy impact: Royal is a low-end WR2 in PPR, but that’s about it for the road game.
