Chargers enter brutal stretch with TEs David Njoku, Charlie Kolar heading to IR

The Athletic reports the Chargers are sending tight ends David Njoku and Charlie Kolar to injured reserve ahead of a difficult stretch. Njoku is listed out, Kolar questionable. Los Angeles hosts Las Vegas as a 6.5-point favourite in a 43.5-point total.

Njoku's season projection is 69.5 points with a value over replacement of -118.5, which means the IR news costs you roughly nothing you were counting on. He is rostered in 64.8% of the field, mostly out of name recognition. Kolar put up 0.0 in Week 1 and projects for 46.4, so the depth chart behind them is a formality. Cut both for any tight end who plays this week. If your TE room is already set, this item never involved you.
