What It Means:

Williams originally injured his ankle in Week 7 and then aggravated the issue in Week 11 after only six snaps. Staley said the Chargers will try to get Williams on the field this week, but he remains day-to-day. Josh Palmer and DeAndre Carter will see more opportunities again in Week 13 versus the Las Vegas Raiders if Williams is sidelined.

Austin Ekeler led the Chargers last week with 15 targets (31.2%) and Carter was second at 10 targets (20.8%). Palmer and Keenan Allen both tied at seven targets each (14.6%) while Gerald Everett checked in with five (10.4%). Carter had the second-most targets despite running fewer routes (44) than Palmer (53) and Allen (49). They all have an attractive matchup in Week 13 versus a Raiders team that has the worst pass defense in the NFL, according to our advanced metrics.
