Chargers stun Kansas City in Sao Paulo, riding a career-highlight performance from Justin Herbert to a 27-21 victory and ending a 7-game slide against the Chiefs. Herbert threw for 318 yards with 3 TDs and added a 19-yard scrambling dagger on 3rd-and-14 to seal it, a moment that screams fantasy pedigree. Quentin Johnston injected life with 5 catches, 79 yards and 2 scores, signaling a real breakthrough. Keenan Allen reaffirmed elite target share with 7 receptions and a TD, while Najee Harris barely touched the ball. The win clears the path for a high-flying LA attack as Week 2 against the Raiders looms.

Rookie Tre Harris and Ladd McConkey flashed in supportive roles for LA, while the veteran Allen and the budding Johnston present a top-5 fantasy trio in an offense that can big-play its way to weekly upside. KC didn’t get the usual Mahomes fireworks, but the Chargers proved they can win games through schemed plays and Herbert’s accuracy. The result reshapes early-season projections as the Chargers head into their MNF showpiece and fantasy managers recalibrate expectations for LA’s weapons.
