Fehoko (elbow) is active for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Texans. Fehoko was activated from IR on Friday after missing the final 10 contests of the regular season due to an elbow issue. The fourth-year wideout will provide important receiver depth for Los Angeles on Saturday due to Joshua Palmer (foot) being unable to suit up. That said, Fehoko will likely be fifth on the wideout depth chart Saturday behind Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, DJ Chark and Derius Davis, so he may not log more than a minor offensive snap count.

Fehoko (elbow) is active for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Texans. Fehoko was activated from IR on Friday after missing the final 10 contests of the regular season due to an elbow issue. The fourth-year wideout will provide important receiver depth for Los Angeles on Saturday due to Joshua Palmer (foot) being unable to suit up. That said, Fehoko will likely be fifth on the wideout depth chart Saturday behind Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, DJ Chark and Derius Davis, so he may not log more than a minor offensive snap count.
The Chargers activated Fehoko (elbow) from IR on Friday. Fehoko is still listed as questionable for Saturday's road AFC wild-card matchup against the Texans, but his activation from IR is a necessary step in order for him to take the field. With Joshua Palmer (foot) ruled out versus Houston, and Quentin Johnston (thigh) expected to play through injury, Fehoko's availability as a depth wideout could be a notable help for the Chargers.
Fehoko (elbow), who still remains on injury reserve, practiced in full Thursday and is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's road wild-card round matchup against the Texans. Fehoko had his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday, and he's since logged a LP-FP-FP activity pattern. He'll need to be activated from IR in order to be eligible to play Saturday, but it looks like the depth wideout could be able to contribute during Los Angeles' road wild-card clash at Houston.
Fehoko (elbow) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice. Fehoko was placed on injured reserve Nov. 6 due to an elbow injury he suffered in Week 9 against the Browns. His 21-day window to return from IR opened Tuesday, but his limited participation in practice indicates he still has a ways to go in his recovery before returning to play. Fehoko would have to be activated off IR in order to play in Saturday's wild-card game against the Texans.
The Chargers announced Tuesday that Fehoko (elbow) has had his 21-day window to return from IR opened, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports. Fehoko could potentially return from IR as early as Saturday's wild-card round playoff matchup against the Texans. Once cleared to retake the field, Fehoko will stand to contribute in a depth role in the Chargers' wide-receiver corps.
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.
