Disclaimer
These contests are intended to be fun as you’re watching the game. It’s incredibly difficult to get a real edge as there are so few options, and in MME contests, there are often many duplicate lineups. One play or one penalty can change the entire outcome of the game.
Game Strategy
The Chargers are at home, are the better team, and have the better offense. With Russell Wilson mightily struggling to begin his Broncos career, the focus should be on Chargers players in our lineups.
INJURY REPORT
- Keenan Allen Doubtful
- Jalen Guyton OUT
- Joey Bosa OUT
- Rashawn Slater OUT
- Javonte Williams OUT
- Randy Gregory OUT
- Garett Bolles OUT
- Josey Jewell OUT
- Caden Sturns OUT
- Ronald Darby OUT
Captain Consideration:
Los Angeles Chargers
QUARTERBACK
Justin Herbert - Captain/Flex
Justin Herbert is the top choice for captain in this one. The matchup isn't ideal, as the Broncos' defense is legit. Denver's defense ranks fourth in Expected Points Added per Play (EPA/Play) Allowed, seventh in Success Rate, and fourth in Dropback EPA/Play Allowed. However, they'll have their hands full trying to defend the Chargers. Herbert ranks third in Completion Percentage Over Expected (CPOE) and leads a Chargers offense that ranks eighth in EPA/Play, third in Pass Rate Over Expected (PROE), and fifth in Early Down Pass Frequency Rate (EDPF).
