Chargers' Potent Offense Vaults Them to Fantasy Football's Pinnacle
Though many fans are excited about their favorite team's regular season in just a few short weeks, fantasy football enthusiasts also have a lot to like about kick-off in short order.
One of the teams many fans have on their radar is the Los Angeles Chargers, poised for a big year starting with quarterback Justin Herbert.
The Los Angeles Chargers offense is extremely attractive on paper, both in real-life terms and for fantasy football purposes. Justin Herbert is one of the best and most talented quarterbacks in the NFL, and he's put up some of the best numbers through the first three years of a quarterback's career. He's surrounded with an elite set of weapons, a new offensive coordinator, and a healthier, improved offensive line.
Austin Ekeler, though mired in a contract dispute, when on the field, is as good as they come at the running back position.
A dual threat in every sense of the word, catching the ball out of the backfield paired with his nose for the endzone with his legs or through the air, Ekeler is set to be a top-five fantasy pick across leagues drafting this month.
Receiver rooms around the league wish they had the likes of Los Angeles' options to catch passes from their star quarterback.
Veteran Keenan Allen is hoping to bounce back in a significant way from his previous injury, as the steady presence since the days of Phillip Rivers has been rock solid for years now.
Mike Williams might have a thing or two to teach the newest Charger, Quentin Johnston, as both will hope to give Allen some protection and more options for the fireworks show.
With talented skill position players at Kellen Moore's disposal, Bolts fans and fantasy owners alike will have a lot to love about this upcoming year.
