The LA Chargers are in prime time again as the team looks to avoid a season-ending loss to the Kansas City Chiefs Football on Sunday evenings. Meanwhile, Kansas City can win the AFC West for the ninth time in a row with a win over the Chargers.

While the outcome of the game won’t significantly change the playoff picture on paper, it could have a big impact on both teams. The Chargers need the win to retain the No. 5 seed, which is the cheapest wild-card pick. Kansas City, meanwhile, must win to retain its No. 1 seed.

The Chiefs, who have failed to gain momentum despite just one loss, appear to be improving early in this game. Meanwhile, the Chargers are dealing with serious injuries that could affect the outcome of the game.

Ladd McConkey was the biggest story on Sunday night and he will officially be inactive against the Chiefs. McConkey has become an important part of the Chargers’ offensive identity. Without him, it will be difficult to move the ball against a stout Chiefs defense.

Anyone with a connection to fantasy football should contact Quentin Johnston if possible. Johnston has struggled in recent weeks, but he’s had big games in the past and if the Chargers want to keep up, he’ll need to score.

Denzel Perryman is the only player ruled out of the final injury report of the week. Luckily for the Chargers, the team also brought in rookie linebacker Junior Colson from IR, which could be helpful in Perryman’s absence.

Mecole Hardman is the only player ruled out for the game in the week’s final injury report, but he was placed on IR so he doesn’t officially count as one of the Chiefs’ inactives against the Chargers.

Jawaan Taylor, Charles Omenihu and Noah Gray are the only Chiefs who haven’t missed practice this week. However, all three players took full part in training on Friday and were not called up for the game.

Former Pro Bowl left tackle DJ Humphries makes his Chiefs debut at the perfect moment against the Chargers. Humphries was a late-season addition as he recovered from a knee injury. He makes his Chiefs debut a week after Mahomes was pressured 20 times.
