Chargers D/ST Provides Strong Floor Against Dolphins Offense
The Los Angeles Chargers D/ST faces an inconsistent Miami Dolphins offense this week, offering a potential bounce-back opportunity despite their recent struggles. The Chargers' defense, though ranked 27th in passing yards allowed, remains strong in the red zone (2nd in Red-Zone Scoring percentage allowed) and is tied for fourth in total sacks. They have recently struggled to force turnovers and will need to disrupt Miami running back De'Von Achane's catching ability out of the backfield. The unit's tendency for costly penalties and their difficulties in the run game (giving up 163 yards last week) are significant concerns, and they will be without DL Da'Shawn Hand (groin) and possibly OLB Bud Dupree (hamstring) this week. However, the Bolts hope to get a defensive boost after the Baltimore Ravens traded pass rusher Odafe Oweh for Chargers' Alohi Gilman earlier this week. RotoBaller ranks the Chargers as D/ST10. There might be better plays out there, but their potential for sacks and red-zone stops makes them a viable option.
