Here are the top five fantasy options to look at during the Jacksonville Jaguars and San Diego Chargers matchup on Sunday.
The San Diego Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars will do battle on Sunday, and there should be plenty of yards to go around. The Chargers and Jaguars have two of the better quarterbacks in the AFC, and will be looking to take to the airways early and often. There are some huge fantasy plays in this matchup, starting with the golden right arm of the Jaguars.
The game is scheduled to kick off at 4:25pm ET, so make sure you get your rosters set in time. Whether you are playing in a year-long league or some daily fantasy action, these are the five names to target on Sunday.
5. Tyrell Williams
For those unlucky fantasy football owners who drafted Keenan Allen for the 2016 season, it will be hard to reproduce the kind of production he gives you on a weekly basis. However, the San Diego Chargers are going to continue to throw the ball no matter who lines up at wide receiver, and Tyrell Williams is the next man up for the Bolts. Williams could provide fantasy owners with a big day on Sunday, especially if the Chargers stick to their game plan.
Williams and Travis Benjamin are listed as the top two receivers on the San Diego depth chart, and both should see a ton of target on Sunday. Williams caught two balls for 71 yards in the Chargers opening week loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but will definitely improve on those numbers in Week 2. The Chargers organization has high hopes for him, so expect Rivers to look his way a bunch against the Jaguars.
The Jaguars did a nice job holding Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to under 200 yards passing on Sunday, but they did allow him to throw for two touchdowns. With the amount of time Williams should see on the playing field, he should be put in positions where he can score. Jacksonville will be traveling across the country for the matchup on Sunday, which should bode well for the Chargers, and their offense.
This game has all the makings of being a shootout, and grabbing Williams could give you immediate dividends. Expect him to catch between five to seven balls for around 80 yards and a score on Sunday. Williams will not be able to give you the kind of stats Allen would have, but he should find space to make a difference against the Jaguars.
