Between the Lines: Week 16 Snap Count Analysis
Robby Anderson has rarely left the field over the last two weeks and could be poised to finish the year on a high note against the Patriots.
Richard Rodgers Status
rotoWire
Rodgers (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
What it means:
The backup tight end played a combined 13 offensive snaps over the past two weeks, but Rodgers had a bit more of an offensive factor for the Chargers when Gerald Everett was limited by a knee injury earlier in November. Expect undrafted rookie Stone Smartt to continue surging up the depth chart in Rodgers' absence.
rotoWire
Rodgers is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Miami due to a knee injury.
What it means:
Rodgers landed on the injury report Friday as a non-participant due to a knee injury. If the backup tight end is ruled out, Stone Smartt and Tre' McKitty would be the only healthy options behind Gerald Everett.
rotoWire
Rodgers did not record a target in the 30-27 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
What it means:
Rodgers did see 21 offensive snaps with Gerald Everett (groin) sidelined, but that wasn't enough to elicit a target. Both Rodgers and nominal starter Tre' McKitty did not see any passing looks among the tight ends as the lone pass attempt ended up going to third-stringer Stone Smartt in a bit of a junk-time checkdown. Expect Rodgers' playing time to fall to the wayside upon Everett's return.
rotoWire
Rodgers caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the 49ers
What it means:
The veteran castoff saw 13 snaps Sunday after Gerald Everett was forced to leave the game with a groin injury. While Tre' McKitty would likely see a significant increase in snaps if Everett were to miss extended time, Rodgers could also see a bump in playing time as the nominal pass-catching tight end of the pair.
rotoWire
The Chargers signed Rodgers off their practice squad Wednesday.
What it means:
Rodgers was elevated on game day for each of the Chargers' first three games, recording one target over 12 offensive snaps played. The 30-year-old has provided depth behind Tre' McKitty while the Bolts' No. 2 tight end Donald Parham (hamstring) has been sidelined so far this season. Rodgers likely will continue to see limited usage until Parham suits up again.
rotoWire
Rodgers reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
What it means:
Rodgers played on just three of the Bolts' 61 offensive snaps during his last available practice squad elevation with the team Sunday. The 30-year-old tight end was not targeted for the second game in a row, though he did see his first special-teams action of the season (two snaps). Rodgers essentially served as the Chargers' third-string tight end with Donald Parham (hamstring) sidelined the past three weeks, though he'll need to receive an active roster spot in order to play for the team moving forward in 2022.
