San Diego Chargers tight end Ladarius Green (concussion) is listed as questionable for the team's Week 4 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Green was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before being upgraded to a full participant on Friday. Green will need to clear the league's concussion protocol to be officially active on Sunday.
Ladarius Green injury update: TE questionable for Chargers, fantasy owners
The San Diego Chargers tight end is listed as questionable for Week 4. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy impact: If Green is cleared to play, owners should expect him to pick up where he left off. Through two games, Green is averaging five receptions on six targets for 60.5 yards and 0.5 touchdowns. While his role could change with the return of Antonio Gates in Week 5, Green should have at least one more week of healthy involvement in the offense if he suits up.
The Browns don’t present a particularly tough matchup -- their middle-of-the-pack defense allows the 14th-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Green will remain a mid-range TE1 if he’s active, but owners need to have a backup option ready to go.
