Trey Lance will start at quarterback for the LA Chargers in Week 18 in what is a somewhat meaningless game for the Bolts. While the outcome will have an impact on the team's playoff seeding, the Chargers clearly don't feel as if wild-card seeding is enough of a reason to play Justin Herbert.
Lance likely won't be the only backup starting on Sunday and time will tell just how aggressive the Chargers get with their rest. Whatever backups join Lance on Sunday will still have plenty to play for, as for many of them, Week 18 is a showcase for future contracts or starting opportunities.
