Welcome back football fans, yesterday John looked over the
RG3 led Redskins. Now normally we don’t post on Sunday, but as I said before
the holiday has thrown off our schedule so we’re making an exception. And today
we will be looking at the San Diego Chargers. Let’s get started.
Phillip Rivers: Rivers had a down year finishing with a stat
line of 3606 yards, 26 TDs and 15 INTs. But that’s why Mike McCoy was brought
in, to fix Rivers. If you’re unfamiliar with who Mike McCoy is, he was the
offensive coordinator for the Broncos the last couple of years. Expect some
improvement from Rivers this year.
Ryan Mathews and Danny Woodhead: Ryan Mathews was drafted to
be the replacement to LT. As you may have noticed, he hasn’t exactly done that.
He has yet to play a full season and he hasn’t exactly impressed when he is on
the field. Fun fact: In his three seasons in the NFL, Ryan Mathews has never
rushed for more than 40 yards in a single attempt. You read that right, his
longest rush is only 39 yard. He doesn’t need to be anything more than a RB2 on
your fantasy team. Woodhead was a fantasy enigma in New England, some games he’d
put up great points others he would disappear. Don’t expect that to change just
because he’s on different team.
Danario Alexander, Malcolm Floyd, Keenan Allen and Antonio Gates:
Danario Alexander didn’t catch a pass in 2012 until week 9 but he quickly
became Rivers main target racking up 658 yards and 7 TDs in just 9 games.
Expect more of the same next season. Malcolm Floyd was meant to step into the
number one role with the departure of Vincent Jackson, but he didn’t live up to
expectations. But despite that he finished with 814 yards and 5 TDs. His numbers
may drop slightly as Alexander takes away his targets, but he should still be
worth a WR2 role. Keenan Allen was drafted in the third round, but in my
opinion that was a steal, Now Allen won’t be handed the job he’ll have to
compete with Robert Meachem and Eddie Royal. But considering their disappointing
performances last year I wouldn’t be surprised to see Allen win the job. But
keep an eye on this battle. Gates has always been a favorite target of Rivers,
the only knock on him is that he can’t stay healthy, but if he’s on the field
he’s getting his targets and as such he’s worth starting.
Nick Novak: He made every FG except for two. I think that
speaks for itself. He’s reliable and he rarely misses.
And that’s that. We’ll resume normal posts tomorrow when I
finish off the AFC with the Kansas City Chiefs (the best for last obviously). And
that will mark the end of our fantasy analyses. But until then leave a comment
offering us your opinion. Until next time, best wishes.
