PositiveRoleOct 16, 2026Mattek Fantasy Football

Kolar is the starting tight end for the Los Angeles Chargers and may be on the right side of questionable status. The Chargers are likely to be without their top three wide receivers (Trey Harris, Quentin Johnston, and potentially Lad McConkey), which could increase Kolar's target share. He is a viable option in 16-team leagues where tight end depth is needed.

PositiveMatchupOct 16, 2026FantasyPros Articles

Kolar is identified as a deep-league streaming option for Week 6 against Kansas City, a defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to tight ends this season and has struggled to contain opposing tight ends. At just 1% rostered, Kolar is available in virtually every fantasy league. He caught three of four targets for 37 yards against Denver in Week 5 and has six receptions for 58 yards on seven targets this season (missing two games due to injury). The source notes that while Kolar is touchdown-dependent, the favorable matchup and recent uptick in targets make him a great desperation streamer who could surprise in Week 6.

Charlie Kolar is a deep-league tight end option who led the Chargers' tight end room in snaps last week.

PositiveValueOct 13, 2026FantasyPros Articles

Charlie Kolar is a deep-league streaming option for Week 6 at just 1% rostered, with the matchup against Kansas City being a primary reason for consideration. The Chiefs have struggled to contain opposing tight ends this season, allowing the third-most fantasy points to the position, making this a good opportunity for a player available in virtually every fantasy league. Kolar is coming off his most productive game of the season, catching three of his four targets for 37 yards against Denver in Week 5; the four targets last week were encouraging. While his receiving volume hasn't been particularly exciting (six receptions for 58 yards on seven targets this season, missing two games due to injury), Kolar is touchdown-dependent but represents a great desperation streamer in a good matchup who could surprise in Week 6 given the bye-week scarcity.
