L.A. Chargers @ Tennessee
Team Totals: Chargers 24, Titans 21
Expect the Chargers’ Week 2 game plan to flip from Week 1, wherein Dolphins DC Vic Fangio went out of his way to dare the Bolts to run. Mike Vrabel’s Titans pride themselves on winning in the trenches, in 2022 held enemy running backs to the NFL’s second-fewest fantasy points, and last Sunday limited Saints RBs to 19/50/0 (2.6 YPC) rushing. Even with Austin Ekeler (ankle) on the shelf, Josh Kelley is running into a brick wall here. After a standout preseason and opener, I’m still confidently starting Kelley as an RB2. … In Week 1, the Chargers had the lowest situation-neutral pass rate in the league. In Week 2, I expect it to be among the NFL’s highest. Pro football’s premier pass-funnel defense, Tennessee got torched for 302 yards and 9.2 yards per attempt by Derek Carr last week. Justin Herbert is a confident fantasy start here.
Herbert’s Week 1 target distribution: Keenan Allen 9; Ekeler and Mike Williams 5; Quentin Johnston, Gerald Everett, and Donald Parham 3; Kelley and Josh Palmer 1. … Chris Olave (8/112/0), Rashid Shaheed (5/89/1), and Michael Thomas (5/61/0) all met or beat box-score expectations against the Titans’ beatable secondary last week.
