Good morning and happy Friday, Chargers fans!
As always, I want to hear which players — if any — you believe need to step up this week when the Chargers take the field against the Giants.
Should the ramifications from the recent COVID-19 news end up in a worst-case scenario, I believe rookie wideout Josh Palmer has an excellent opportunity to act as the team’s WR1 if both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are unable to return of the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Sunday’s game.
He’d still have one heck of a challenge in New York cornerback James Bradberry, but what a way to see what your rookie is made of than against one of the league’s top, young defenders.
Overall, I think plenty of players young players could find themselves with increased opportunities against the Giants, but I’ll be keeping a close eye on Palmer in this one.
Your turn. Let me know what players you all think need could be in line for a notable performance below and why.
And now for today’s links.
