The Los Angeles Chargers shocked many with a few surprising roster cuts as the regular season arrives Los Angeles utilized the entire preseason as tryouts for the team. Hardly any of the starters played, besides a few linemen and linebackers. That allowed for many of the backups and rookies to earn reps in the three games. Regardless of the results, head coach Brandon Staley and his staff had a lot of thinking to do leading up to Tuesday’s roster deadline. The Chargers decided to format an unusual roster that left many questioning some decisions. Offensively, they kept three quarterbacks, four…

Los Angeles Chargers starting running back Austin Ekeler is one of the top fantasy football RBs in the league. He is more of a receiving back, but certainly earns plenty of carries in the trenches. Ekeler missed six games due to an injury last year, but played extremely well in the games he appeared in. He played in eight full games with quarterback Justin Herbert and saw 63 total targets. Ekeler’s 2019 season was the best of his career, where he earned a total of 217 fantasy points, with his FPTS/G at 13.6. He finished last season averaging 11.1 FPTS/G…

Mike Williams could be in for a breakout 2021 season, with reigning Rookie of the Year Justin Herbert heading into his second year as quarterback. The 2020 season did not provide stellar fantasy football production from the former No. 7 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Williams finished the season ranked as the No. 48 overall receiver, far below his potential. He finished the 2020 season 32nd in touchdowns (5), 42nd in yards (756), 80th in contested catch rate (27.3) and 25th in drops (3.0). Williams averaged 10.3 fantasy points per game, which may make many fantasy players avoid…
