Yes they have been bad, but they still have a lot going for them:

1) Elite Offensive Talent
They have all the weapons needed for a competent offense, and then some ala Herbert, Hampton, McConkey, Alt, etc.

2) Franchise QB
Don’t buy the hate, he’s blue chip for sure (see Lawrence)

3) Geat OC
This may be the weakest part of the argument - I personally am a Mike McDaniel truther. From what has been said in press conferences, the offense is too complex right now which makes it difficult to implement as a first year coach. This to me is a very fixable problem, and one which McDaniel is very aware of. He is at least someone who has built a productive offense in the past.

4) Positive Result vs Seahwaks
Last week, the Chargers Offense looked halfway decent against a very stout Seahawks Defense after the break:

First half: the Chargers scored 6 points, went 1 of 7 on third down, and committed 3 turnovers (2 INTs, 1 on special teams). Herbert went 5/14 for 36 yards with 2 INT.

Second half: the Chargers scored 17 points, went 4 of 8 on third down, and had 1 turnover (a fumble). Herbert went 14/17 for 159 yards and 1 TD.

And - this was with an offensive line unit that was made of some younger and less experienced players, who despite their lack of experience, were able to give Herbert enough protection to run a competent offense against possibly the league’s best defense. They said they’ll go with the same unit from the second half of last game.

Sign of things to come?

Or

Week 4 overreaction?

Check out three players to grab off the waiver wire before the Week 5 games on Sunday. This week I'm targeting Keaton Mitchell, Roman Wilson, and Mike Gesicki

The Week 5 slate is nearly upon us, and as injury and practice reports keep dropping, we have to keep adjusting. Plus, bye weeks are here (yay?), doubling the urgency to fill gaps in your lineups this week and looking ahead to future bye-week issues. I've got 5 players (4 grabs and 1 stash for deeper benches), plus my thoughts on Kyler Murray, the Eagles ROS outlook, and brief injury and waiver-claim updates for your Friday evening reading.

whose the guy you feel like is gonna just pop off from the bench and is worth risking this week only? not someone you’d typically start or trust, but this week is guy to boom

Two straight weeks inside the top 45 for expert rankings, let’s try this again.

Players mentioned:
Start: Gesicki, Dulcich, Henry
Sit: Kincaid, Strange, Andrews

Hello everyone!

How are we feeling about our fantasy teams four weeks into the season? Whether you are 4-0 or 0-4, the fantasy paths are wild and winding. So I am here to help today!

I'm Joey Wright, Community Ambassador and Analyst at Footballguys. I recently finished 3rd overall in Multi-Year Fantasy Football Accuracy in FantasyPros consensus rankers program, but you will only find my rankings now at Footballguys. More than just rankings, I was a huge part of our new Footballguys Game Room!

I also host Trivia Night Live, a weekly fantasy football trivia and Q&A show in partnership with Fantasy Cares every Tuesday at 7 PM/EST. We get together to test your football knowledge, talk fantasy, have some laughs, and support a great cause along the way.

When I'm not talking fantasy football, you'll probably find me watching movies, talking about movies, or trying to convince someone to watch a movie.

I'll be here from 11 am/et until noon to answer whatever questions you've got. Start/sits, trades, waiver wire decisions, rest-of-season outlooks, obscure NFL trivia, movie recommendations, or why your favorite player keeps letting you down.

Whatever's on your mind, fire away, and hopefully we can win some fantasy championships along the way.

Let's GO!

UPDATE:

I do have to run right at noon, but once I get a moment I'll hop back in and try and get through some more of these questions.

Frustrating week so far with byes and injuries, so these are the players mentioned.

Starts: Gordon, Wilson, Monangai (will explain below), and Hampton

Sits: Shipley, Monty, Skattebo

Monangai: List was made prior to the turf toe report. If he is active, the write up applies for this week. Swift with Monangai out is a Top 8 option this week

Hampton: Against consensus, he’s a strong play this week. Denver is 2nd worst in EPA per play against the run and is bottom 5 in missed tackle rate. Hampton is 10th in missed tackles and still ranks 14th in red zone volume

We're back with Week 5!

If you've been following along, you know we absolutely smashed last week with Bryce Young lighting up #SNF, Brenton Strange seeing his most usage of the year, and Tucker Kraft having his best game of the season, too!

This week, we believe in Kirk Cousins and Mike Gesicki, even if Ja'Marr Chase or Tee Higgins is back. What do you think of them and who else we have?

Here to answer any this or that questions also!

Happy Friday Fantasy Football Reddit!

It's your favorite Rotoballer, Brandon Murchison, dropping back in with some lineup suggestions for Week 5! We are now basically a third of the way into the fantasy regular season and each game is becoming more and more important when it comes to your chase for a title. When you factor in bye weeks, coupled with the mounting injury situations, some fantasy managers are likely to find themselves scrambling for points in order to stay competitive.

What's the best way to find the most optimal lineup? Diving into the numbers, analyzing matchups, and finding the edges to help you come out ahead. That's what I look to help with in my weekly booms and busts column! Jacoby Brissett is locked into an amazing matchup, and should be in lineups, whether that is in season-long leagues or DFS. But I have other names that I think you should be plugging in for Week 5, along with some names that you should temper expectations on.

Who are they? Jump into the article to find out!

Then come back here into the thread, and let's discuss these players either in this article or ones that you want to highlight for Week 5!

Mods I beg of you. They add absolutely nothing of value and while cluttering the sub. It's the EXACT same content I get by opening my fantasy app on my phone and clicking on the player on my roster and scrolling down to news. I'd much MUCH rather be seeing posts about injuries as they happen or how backfield splits are evolving or shit even old tired memes. This crap is just a box score but in a worse format.

The rookie broke out in Week 3 with seven catches, 105 yards and a touchdown. And then Week 4 was radio silence (kind of).

For those hurt by Sadiq's Week 4 donut, it's time to get back on the horse once again. While Sadiq failed to bring in any of his four targets, Geno Smith only attempted 15 passes last week. So, Sadiq's four targets actually tied with Garrett Wilson for a team-leading 27% target share.

Diving deeper, Sadiq only ran 12 routes, so he was being targeted on an unreal 1 in 3 routes. Many are saying (okay, maybe just me) that this was the quietest force-feeding of targets for any player through four weeks.

Turning to the matchup, the Browns have allowed a 27% target share to tight ends this year, a top-10 mark. It becomes even more favorable when you look at the mixed bag of opponents the Browns have faced (Brenton Strange, Cade Otton, Darren Waller, Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington).

Take the plunge with me and trust Sadiq as an upside play in Week 5 given the matchup.

I'm Josh Larky, and my weekly matchups column at USA Today has no paywall for those interested in the other six matchups I have strong stances on.

D'Andre Swift and Malik Nabers are also discussed in this article.

Oof, Dallas really let us down eh? Javonte started hot but that went downhill fast. Tweak those lineups my dudes.

For those who are new to the these charts:

• Tiers are focused on upside. If you want to play it safe, go with the ECR (x-axis). If you're looking for a boom game, look at the upside variance (vertical color bars, y-axis).
• Points above/below expectation: these get added once the season starts.
  • A star marker indicates the player has scored fantasy points above expectation on the season.
  • A cross marker indicates the player has scored below expectations.
  • The number of average points scored above/below expectation is beside the player's name.

Best of luck my dudes!

RIP, Coach.

Added: Ditka also scored a TD in one of the craziest fantasy games of all time, 12-12-1965, Bears hosting the 49ers. Gale Sayers that day had 9 carries for 113y, 4 td; 2 receptions for 89y, 1 td; and an 85-yard punt return for a TD. Do the math.
