HEINICKE HEADS TO LOS ANGELES

The Los Angeles Chargers acquired quarterback Taylor Heinicke from the Atlanta Falcons for a conditional sixth-round draft pick in 2025.

What does it give the Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers are getting a veteran QB to sit behind Justin Herbert. He is expected to move ahead of Easton Stick on the quarterback depth chart for 2024.

What does it give the Atlanta Falcons
After the Falcons signed veteran Kirk Cousins and drafted Michael Penix Jr. in the first round this off-season, the writing was on the wall for Heinecke in Atlanta.

Fantasy impact
Heinecke is too prone to inconsistency and turnovers to be a viable handcuff for Herbert in most leagues. Leave him on the waiver wire/free agency until further notice.
