Raiders vs Chargers Fantasy Football
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert profiles as a steady QB9 play this week, projected for 17.6 fantasy points. He’ll square off against a Raiders defense that can be tough but still leaves windows for his big arm to take over. On the other side, Geno Smith (16.1 fpts) checks in as a QB22 option, benefitting from the home crowd and a favorable matchup against Los Angeles’ secondary.
In the ground game, rookie Ashton Jeanty headlines the Raiders’ attack. Slotted as RB10 with a 17.3-point projection, he may not love the matchup, but his workload and role in the offense make him too valuable to sit. For the Chargers, rookie Omarion Hampton (15.7 fpts) has RB15 upside after earning more snaps than veteran Najee Harris in Week 1, hinting at his growing role as the lead option.
The receiving corps offers plenty of firepower. Ladd McConkey (WR15) and Jakobi Meyers (WR19) both carry strong value thanks to favorable matchups, while veterans Keenan and Quentin Johnston provide extra depth for fantasy managers banking on Herbert’s production.
At tight end, rookie sensation Brock Bowers remains the clear-cut TE1 choice. His skill set, paired with a soft matchup against the Chargers, makes him a must-start option. On defense, Los Angeles’ unit rates as a fringe streaming play at DST13, while Las Vegas’ D/ST slides down the board at DST25, making them a risky roll of the dice.
Fantasy takeaways:
Keep Justin Herbert and Omarion Hampton locked into your lineups.Fire up Ashton Jeanty and Jakobi Meyers as reliable Raiders contributors.Count on McConkey, Allen, and Johnston for solid WR depth.Brock Bowers is as close to a sure thing at tight end as it gets.If you’re streaming defenses, lean Chargers over Raiders this week.Raiders vs Chargers Game Predictions
With Justin Herbert at the helm, the Chargers are tipped to outlast their divisional rivals in a tight contest, seizing momentum late to stay perfect on the year. According to ESPN, the Raiders hold just a 40.6% chance of pulling off the win, with the remainder leaving room for the slimmest of possibilities—a draw.
