Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that he doesn't expect Fehoko's (elbow) practice window to open this week, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports. Fehoko has been on IR since Nov. 6 due to an elbow issue. He's now eligible to be activated, but it doesn't sound like that's going to happen this week. Fehoko had been getting occasional good run prior to his injury, playing at least 73 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps in three of his eight games, but he was inefficient with just six catches on 16 targets -- though he turned those receptions into 106 yards -- over eight games.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that he doesn't expect Fehoko's (elbow) practice window to open this week, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports. Fehoko has been on IR since Nov. 6 due to an elbow issue. He's now eligible to be activated, but it doesn't sound like that's going to happen this week. Fehoko had been getting occasional good run prior to his injury, playing at least 73 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps in three of his eight games, but he was inefficient with just six catches on 16 targets -- though he turned those receptions into 106 yards -- over eight games.
The Chargers placed Fehoko (elbow) on injured reserve Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports. Fehoko was injured during Sunday's win over the Browns and will now miss at least four games. His earliest possible date for a return is Week 14 at Kansas City (Dec. 8), with the upcoming absence potentially freeing up more snaps for Joshua Palmer, DJ Chark (groin), Jalen Reagor and/or Derius Davis. Rookie Ladd McConkey is locked in as the No. 1 target, with Quentin Johnston having also been a regular starter when healthy.
Fehoko is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Browns due to an elbow injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Fehoko failed to bring in his only target prior to exiting the game. The severity of his elbow injury is unknown at this time.
Fehoko failed to secure his two targets in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Saints. Fehoko played 79 of the Chargers' offensive snaps Sunday, the highest snap rate of any Los Angeles wideout. Despite leading the wide receiver corps in snaps, the 26-year-old was a complete non-factor against the Saints. The Chargers identity as a run-first team has shifted a bit in recent weeks, but not enough to support multiple wide receivers for fantasy purposes. With Ladd McConkey beginning to break out and Quentin Johnston's (ankle) impending return, Fehoko will remain far off the fantasy radar going forward. The Chargers will visit the Browns in Week 9.
Fehoko secured three of his six targets for 45 yards in Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals. Fehoko played 92 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps, his highest share of the season and the most of any Los Angeles wideout in the contest. The six targets were another season high for the 26-year-old, but despite his increased involvement in the offense, Fehoko was unable to make much noise for fantasy purposes. Even if his playing time holds during Sunday's game against the Saints, Fehoko won't make for a reliable fantasy option while he remains tethered to a run-heavy offense.
Fehoko (shoulder/groin) is listed as active Monday at Arizona. After opening Week 7 prep with a limited listing due to shoulder and groin injuries, Fehoko got back to full participation Friday and Saturday but still was listed as questionable for Monday's game. With his active status confirmed, he'll mix in at wide receiver for the Chargers along with Brenden Rice and Jalen Reagor behind Joshua Palmer and Ladd McConkey with Quentin Johnston (ankle) and Derius Davis (hamstring) sidelined. In five appearances this season, Fehoko has hauled in three of seven targets for 61 yards.
Fehoko (shoulder/groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Cardinals. Fehoko was a full participant in both Friday and Saturday's practice, so it's probably fair to assume the fourth-year wide receiver should be available for Monday. Fehoko's status bears some bit of consequence given Quentin Johnston (ankle) and Hayden Hurst (groin) are both doubtful, while wide receivers Ladd McConkey (hip), DJ Chark (groin) and Derius Davis (hamstring) are all listed as questionable. Fehoko did catch two passes for 44 yards last week in the absence of Johnston, and he could see more opportunities in this Los Angeles wide receiver room ravaged by injuries.
Fehoko (shoulder/groin) practiced fully Friday. Fehoko was estimated as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, but his full participation in Friday's session paves the way for him to suit up Monday night against the Cardinals. He has just three catches (on seven targets) for 61 yards in five games to date, but two of those catches (for 44 yards) occurred in the Chargers' win over the Broncos in Week 6, when Fehoko saw a season-high 51 percent snap share. Ultimately, his Week 7 fantasy upside hinges on the availability of fellow WRs Quentin Johnston (ankle, DNP on Friday) and Ladd McConkey (hip, LP on Friday).
Fehoko (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session. Fehoko played a season-high 37 snaps in Week 6 against the Broncos and finished the game with two catches (on four targets) for 44 yards. However, it appears the 2021 fifth-round pick may have picked up a shoulder injury during the contest, which limited him in practice Thursday. Fehoko will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals.
