Travis Benjamin & Tyrell Williams vs Saints

The Chargers have filled in for the loss of Keenan Allen with a pair of new faces this season. Benjamin joined the team as a free agent and Williams only played in Week 17 last season, but the two have quickly gelled with Phillip Rivers. The entire Chargers offense is a good unit to watch against the Saints sieve-like offense which is on a short week and traveling across the country.

I expect there to be plenty of points in the San Diego shootout this week and both Benjamin and Williams have a chance to go off. The top receiver on the team is former-Browns’ standout Travis Benjamin who had a surprisingly quiet week last week in Indianapolis. He had 82 yards on his four catches but didn’t get into the end zone and lost a fumble. In the Chargers only home game, though, he hung 115 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the Jaguars, so look for him to enjoy the return to sunny San Diego this week.

Tyrell Williams has also risen to the occasion for the Chargers and actually led the team in targets last week hauling in six catches for 69 yards. He has been one of Rivers’ go-to options and has the athletic ability to turn any touch into a touchdown.

The Saints gave up 294 yards on 20 catches to the Giants’ receivers in their only other road game this year. Look for them to allow the the Chargers receivers to rack up the fantasy points this week in one of the most lucrative matchups on both sides in fantasy football week 4.
