tinued showings over the final two tune-ups will shape the 2025 target tree and fantasy upside behind the Chargers’ top options.

Tarheeb Still and others loom in the cornerback depth chart, as Eric Rogers and Nikko Reed press for a roster spot. The winner could carve out a sub-package role and even push for starting reps if injuries hit.

Overall, the playbook emphasizing the run remains intact, but the health guardrails around White will shape early-season usage. If White sits again, Irving and Tucker become intrins
