Trey Lance to Start Week 18 Finale for Chargers as Herbert Rests

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed Trey Lance will start the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Broncos. Justin Herbert and other key starters will rest, with Herbert not dressing. DJ Uiagalelei will be elevated to QB2. Lance has appeared in three games this season, completing 7 of 13 passes for 90 scoreless yards. Facing Denver's top defense with a skeleton crew, Lance is not considered a recommended fantasy target. This move allows Herbert to rest for the playoffs.
