ANALYSIS: The Chargers' offense is as stacked with explosive runners and receivers as Buffalo Wild Wings is with chicken and sauces. Fantasy managers knew that Everett, who set career-highs across the board (albeit modest ones) last year with the Seattle Seahawks, would be given ample opportunities to score touchdowns and set new career-highs in the major fantasy categories. Week 1 was a precursor to Everett’s possible career year.
Everett hauled in three Justin Herbert passes for 54 yards and a touchdown against Las Vegas. The bad news is he will never be the top target in Los Angeles’ offense and aimed at 10-15 times per game. But the good news is that because the Chargers have so much talent at the skilled positions, Everett will always be put in advantageous spots to do damage, especially in the red zone.
As a bonus, having Herbert as his quarterback and having no tight end behind him on the depth chart to threaten his target total are two more huge pluses for him, and fantasy GMs needy of a reliable tight end still available in half of all Yahoo leagues.
