Top 10 NFL supporting casts for 2018 season
By Ian Wharton
9. Los Angeles Chargers
But few teams boast the receiving depth and a well above-average back in Melvin Gordon that the Chargers have for Philip Rivers.
Even after losing Hunter Henry to a torn ACL, Rivers will benefit from Keenan Allen having a full offseason, and 2017 first-round pick Mike Williams being at 100 percent. Allen and Williams are complimented by dangerous speedster and underrated route-runner Travis Benjamin, and 6’4″ leaper Tyrell Williams. The blend of size and pure skill within this unit is near the top of the league.
The weakest part of the offense is the line, but they’ve taken steps to improve there. Dan Feeney and Mike Pouncey are needed upgrades on the interior, and watch for Forest Lamp to eventually land a starting job when he’s healthy. The Chargers will find the endzone a lot this year and may find themselves in the playoffs finally.
