NFL: Los Angeles Chargers at Cleveland Browns Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports

Fantasy QB strategy: Late-round draft options - Jeff Ratcliffe
For a better part of the last decade and a half, you’ve been able to set your watch to Rivers for fantasy purposes. The Chargers’ signal-caller has been one of the league’s most consistent quarterbacks with 10 4,000-yard season in the past 11 years.

Cleveland Browns cut LT Desmond Harrison, releasing an intriguing pass-blocking option into the market - Michael Manning
If Harrison can improve on his subpar run-blocking grade (47.7, 77th among 85 tackles) and continues to show promise as a pass-blocker, then the former Brown may be able to not only find a new home in the NFL but make an impact wherever he lands.

Los Angeles Chargers undrafted rookie spotlight: Elijah Ziese - Travis Wakeman
He will need to bulk up to handle the duties of a linebacker at the professional level but he does offer some pass coverage ability due to his days as a defensive back. Still, there isn’t much room for him to land a spot on the roster unless he just kills it on special teams this summer.
