Chargers Daily Links: Friday Open Thread

So how’d everyone enjoy last night’s game? I’ll tell you what, that was a heck of an opener between two good football teams. For the first game of the season, I thought both teams looked to be in mid-season form. Unfortunately, I’m playing AGAINST Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper in my big-money fantasy league. I’m in obvious pain, as you’d expect.

Here’s to hoping both Austin Ekeler plays (and has a big game) along with Keenan Allen. Those are the two Chargers I grabbed this year and I would greatly appreciate some help!

Like usual, please feel free to use this post to discuss anything and everything regarding the team — fantasy or real life — as well as your thoughts on last night’s season opener.

It’s here! Two more days until the Bolts are back!

Now for today’s links.
