LA Chargers, Team Mood and Players We're In or Out On

Footballguys Staff's LA Chargers, Team Mood and Players We're In or Out On Footballguys Staff Published 07/22/2022

As we race toward August, Footballguys.com will look at one team per day with our extremely in-depth Team Reports and our quick-hitting Team Mood and Players We're In and Out On, where we check out the overall mood of each team's offense and let you know the players we are in on (because they are great values at the cost it takes to acquire them) and who we're out on (because they are too expensive and won't have a good return on that investment).

Here are all of the Team Mood and Players We're In and Out On articles:
Arizona | Atlanta | Baltimore | Buffalo | Carolina | Chicago | Cincinnati | Cleveland | Dallas | Denver | Detroit | Green Bay | Houston | Indianapolis | Jacksonville | Kansas City | Las Vegas | LA Chargers | LA Rams | Miami | Minnesota | New England | New Orleans | NY Giants | NY Jets | Philadelphia | Pittsburgh | San Francisco | Seattle | Tampa Bay | Tennessee | Washington

LA Chargers, Team Mood

  • Good - 14
  • Neutral - 0
  • Bad - 0

Staffers in a Good Mood

  • Ben Cummins: Justin Herbert is an absolute star leading one of the most aggressive offenses in the game.
  • Ryan Weisse: They were a great offense last year, and we get another year of growth with Justin Herbert.
  • Chad Parsons: All of the critical pieces are back from a quality offense in 2021. Plus, Isaiah Spiller adds stability behind Austin Ekeler.
  • Kevin Coleman: The Chargers have one of the league's best and most stable offenses. Given that it’s Joe Lombardi’s second season in Los Angeles as offensive coordinator, we could see an even higher ceiling in 2022.
  • Sam Wagman: Justin Herbert is locked and loaded for a run at the MVP trophy this year.
  • Alfredo Brown: The Chargers offense was 4th in yards and 5th in points in 2021. They could be even better in 2022.
  • Jeff Haseley: Offensive weapons everywhere. Can Justin Herbert ring the playoffs bell? That's the only question.
  • Justin Howe: All they've done is run things back with the same killer personnel as last year.
  • Jason Wood: Talented young nucleus, including an elite quarterback, and one of the few legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
  • Christian Williams: Justin Herbert is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL with room to grow.
  • Maurile Tremblay: This will be the second year in the same offensive system, and it's fair to expect improvement. (The OL will be better, too.)
  • Andy Hicks: Fantasy points for everyone. Wins may be another matter.
  • Craig Lakins: The Chargers have talent all over the field and a fantasy-friendly system, while Justin Herbert gets better on a weekly basis.
  • Jeff Bell: Elite quarterback, running back, and two wide receivers creates a fantasy-rich environment.
