Trey Lance’s Chargers arc flips from a roster casualty to a potential gadget-pivot, with Jim Harbaugh’s faith suggesting a special package could turn Lance’s mobility into real weekly upside. Herbert remains the anchor, but Lance could catalyze designer looks if called upon—especially in a playoff-minded Chargers setup.

Dallas kept Lance as QB3 after a preseason stint that highlighted his rushing floor and improvisational plays, while Harbaugh’s confidence hints at a future role that could materialize if Herbert’s health falters. Fantasy managers should monitor Chargers’ depth moves and any gadget-oriented packages that could juice Lance’s value.
