The best one-on-one matchups in every Week 2 NFL game - PFF Analysis Team
Both Danny Woodhead and Melvin Gordon had big Week 1 showings in the Chargers near-upset of the Chiefs. On just 23 snaps, Gordon earned the highest overall grade among NFL running backs, while Woodhead walked away with the 29th-best mark. If the Jaguars hope to contain the Chargers’ RB-duo in Week 2, Telvin Smith—who tied for the third-most defensive stops (61) in the league among linebackers last season—will have to play a major role in the game.

The Chargers will be at home against the Jaguars in Week 2, and they aren’t the same team they used to be a few years ago. They can put points on the board, and will against the Chargers defense. This is a game where Philip Rivers can throw the ball 40-plus times, and it’s possible that Williams is on the receiving end of eight or more of them. Add in the fact that the Jaguars are going to be missing their lone veteran presence at cornerback, Prince Amukamara, and it’s easy to like Williams. It’s tough to find wide receivers on the waiver wire who are guaranteed to see at least six targets, but Williams fits that bill. One big play can make his week, and standing at 6-foot-4, 200 pounds, that is very possible.

"Regardless of what happened last week, we’re excited to play in front of our home fans," McCoy said. "There’s nothing like playing at home. It’s the second week of the season, so we know it’s the first time and everybody’s going to jacked up and ready to go.
Chargers WR Travis Benjamin should have expanded role vs. Jaguars - Eric Williams
"I have to be way more productive," Benjamin said. "I have to catch more balls, gain more yards and put us in great field position in the punt return game -- get under the ball, catch the ball and make sure we shorten the field because we lost a weapon that we really need."
