KeAndre Lambert-Smith - Four targets in blowout loss Lambert-Smith caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Thursday night's 41-17 preseason loss to the 49ers.

Impact Lambert-Smith also returned two punts for 15 total yards. The wide receiver played 34 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps, garnering a decent amount of attention for the time he was on the field. The second-year player out of Auburn is fighting to acquire a starting spot in the team's wide receiving corps, with Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston (lower body), Tre' Harris (undisclosed) and Brenen Thompson all currently set to see more snaps.

Brenen Thompson - Briefly plays in loss Thompson caught one of two targets for nine yards in Thursday night's 41-17 preseason loss to the 49ers.

Impact Thompson was targeted six times in last Thursday's contest against the Texans. The rookie fourth-rounder did not see much action against the 49ers, with both targets taking place in the first quarter before the wide receiver was ushered out of the game. Thompson played just nine snaps in the contest, totalling 15 percent of the Chargers' total offensive plays.

Trey Lance - Plays first half in loss Lance completed 10 of 16 passes for 73 yards while rushing twice for 42 yards in Thursday's 41-17 preseason loss to the 49ers.

Impact Lance entered the game on the second drive, taking over for Justin Herbert. The quarterback played a rather safe and uneventful half, not reaching the end zone but also not taking any sacks or turning the ball over. The Chargers scored just three points in the half, off the back of a 21-yard Cameron Dicker field goal. Despite the lackluster day, Lance will likely see a similar snap share in next Thursday's preseason game against the Rams.

Cameron Dicker - Misses PAT again Dicker made his sole field goal attempt but missed a PAT try in Thursday night's 41-17 preseason loss to the 49ers.

Impact Dicker drilled a 21-yard field goal in the second quarter, but struggled to make his extra point attempt during the third quarter. The kicker is 126-of-130 on PAT's in his regular-season career, so Thursday night's failure is quite rare. Lightning has struck twice, however, as Dicker missed a PAT in last Thursday's preseason win over the Texans as well, which could be something to watch for as the team heads into next Thursday's preseason matchup with the Rams.

Charlie Kolar - Splits first-team snaps with Njoku Kolar and David Njoku both started Thursay's preseason game against San Francisco. Kolar finished with one catch for nine yards on eight snaps.

Impact Njoku played just five snaps without seeing a target. Oronde Gadsden, meanwhile, wasn't spotted until the second quarter. Gadsden might be the team's best receiving threat at the position, but there's a real chance that the Week 1 snap counts reflect a preseason depth chart with Njoku and Kolar listed as co-starters. It doesn't look like an especially friendly situation for fantasy managers, with targets potentially split between three TEs in an offense that also uses a fullback at times. Kolar, in particular, isn't likely to see much playing time in clear passing situations, which makes mainstream fantasy relevance unlikely.

Head Coach Jim Harbaugh Postgame Press Conference vs. 49ers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh meets with the media to discuss the preseason Week 2 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

David Njoku - Makes preseason start in two-TE set Njoku and Charlie Kolar both started Thursday's preseason game against San Francisco. Njoku finished with no targets on five snaps.

Impact They're also listed as co-starters on the preseason depth chart, ahead of pass-catching specialist Oronde Gadsden. It's no secret that offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel puts a premium on TE blocking, and while Njoku has never been considered a standout in that regard, he's at least got a leg up on Gadsden. We'll still need to wait for the regular season to truly understand how McDaniel wants to deploy his tight ends (and FB Alec Ingold).

Tre' Harris - Should practice this weekend Harris (undisclosed) didn't play in Thursday's preseason game against San Francisco, but coach John Harbaugh said afterward that the wideout should practice this weekend, Kris Rhim...

Impact It sounds like Harris is dealing with a minor injury. Quentin Johnston (lower body) also missed Thursday's exhibition, leaving rookie Brenen Thompson to fill in as a starter opposite Ladd McConkey. Come Week 1, it'll likely be McConkey, Johnston and Harris as the top three.
