San Diego Chargers tight end Ladarius Green is officially listed as questionable for Week 1's matchup with the Detroit Lions. Green is still recovering from a concussion, and he hasn't passed through the NFL's concussion protocol.
Ladarius Green injury update: Concussion leaves Chargers TE questionable for fantasy owners
The Chargers might be down two tight ends for Week 1. We break down the fantasy implications.


Green was listed as a full participant at practice on Friday, but he hasn’t been cleared for contact. It should be a game-time call for Green, possibly leaving the Chargers without their top two tight ends on the depth chart.
Fantasy impact: With Antonio Gates suspended for the first four games of the regular season, fantasy owners were hoping to finally catch a glimpse of Green’s potential as a starter. While he still has a chance to play, there’s a question of how effective he’ll be after missing practice this week.
The Chargers re-signed tight end John Phillips as an insurance policy. Phillips is nothing more than a blocking tight end, though. The Chargers don't play until 4:05 p.m. ET, leaving owners in a bind with Green's status. You should have a reliable second option at tight end in mind.
