Chargers Defense A Risky Week 1 Option

The Los Angeles Chargers defense is a risky option in Week 1 fantasy lineups. Although they certainly have upside and should be better than last season, it's difficult to trust a defensive unit that hasn't finished higher than 20th in fantasy since 2017. A game against the Dolphins and their speedy receiving corps isn't the […]

With little resistance on the defensive side, the second-year […]

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen will look for a good start to his 11th NFL season in a Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Allen has been a fantasy WR1 in five of the last six seasons, and assuming he remains healthy this year, he should be able to post another top-12 […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is an excellent fantasy option in a Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
