After watching their first game played in their new home, SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, via the Rams, the Los Angeles Chargers take their turn at the brand new venue in Week 2 as the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs visit for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff on Sunday.
Both teams enter this one at 1-0, but it felt like the Bolts escaped Cincinnati with a season-opening victory in a 16-13 contest thanks to a Bengals missed kick to end regulation.
Not to say that the Chargers defense is bad after one game, but after watching Cincy have some successes against them, the Chiefs will cause, at least, some damage in this week. Because of that, the Chargers’ wide receivers will be a smart play in Week 2
Quarterback Tyrod Taylor attempted 30 passes against the Bengals, but 25 of those went to either Keenan Allen, Hunter Henry or Mike Williams. The best bang for your buck in DraftKings this week is the latter. Of that trio, not only is Williams the most cost-efficient receiver for Los Angeles at a salary cost of $4,200 in this one (roster limit: $50,000), he also led those three with nine targets against the Bengals.
Included in his targets were a few deep balls he missed out on vs. the Bengals as well. Williams was just one of these away from having a big fantasy football output a week ago. Against the the Chiefs offense, Williams has a feeling of a big game waiting to happen this week.
