Week 1 - Neil HornsbyEkeler was only on the field for 22 snaps but was so dominant in that time he rated a 93.1 grade as a receiver and 85.1 as a rusher. Whether it was making the Chiefs regret leaving a linebacker on him on his touchdown grab or lowering his shoulder to bowl over a player the caliber of Reggie Ragland Emeke Egbule Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys , he made the most of nearly every one of his snaps. When they lined him up wide left, he blew past Steven Nelson easily enough that if Philip Rivers had not underthrown the ball, he’d probably have had another score.Leaders in expected fantasy production entering Week 2 - Scott BarrettEarlier in the offseason, Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn told ESPN reporter Dan Graziano that one of his biggest regrets of 2017 was “not getting Gordon more work in the passing game.” Lynn quickly rectified that error in Week 1, targeting Gordon 12 times – and Gordon too delivered, totaling 102 receiving yards. He was also handed 15 touches on the ground.NFL Offensive Line Rankings – after Week 1 - Michael RennerWe projected the Chargers offensive line to take a big step forward this season with Forrest Lamp and Feeney in Year 2, but Lamp hasn’t seen the field yet and Feeney was a nightmare in Week 1. He allowed six total pressures and had a pass-blocking grade of 12.9 – the lowest of any offensive lineman in the NFL this past week.Per-target and per-touch fantasy leaders entering Week 2 - Tyler LoechnerLast year’s top three running backs in terms of FP/T: Alvin Kamara, Chris Thompson, and Austin Ekeler.This season’s top three running back in terms of FP/T: Kamara, Ekeler Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys 2019 , Thompson. Same players, slightly different order.32 NFL Observations, Week 1 - Mark ChichesterRunning back Austin Ekeler caught all five of his targets in the passing game in Week 1, an impressive feat considering two of those passes were contested by a defender at the catch point. Ekeler ended his team’s season opener averaging 5.80 yards per route run – the third-best mark ever recorded by a running back in Week 1.Social Media Information:BFTB Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBFTB Twitter: Follow @BFTB_ChargersThe Lightning Round Twitter: Follow @Lightning_RoundThe Lightning Round Facebook: Click here to like our pageBFTB Manager: Richard Wade: Follow @RichardWade The Chiefs are trading away their 1st round pick in 2019"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections San Diego Chargers Daily LinksSan Diego Chargers NewsSan Diego Chargers OffseasonSan Diego Chargers HistorySan Diego Chargers HumorThe AFC West never sleeps: Chiefs make a big trade with SeahawksNew,30commentsThe Chiefs are trading away their 1st round pick in 2019PDTShareTweetShareShareThe AFC West never sleeps: Chiefs make a big trade with SeahawksWhile the NFL learned that the AFC West was no pushover last year, those within its boundaries know that it is a scrappy dogfight to get to the top each year. Each team has tried to position themselves to win the division, knowing full-well that only two (or a maximum three) have any chance at seeing postseason glory.The Broncos kicked their newest QB out of town in return for SuperBowl XLVII MVP Joe Flacco, while the Raiders are ready to cash in the three first-round picks they amassed in just one season’s fire sale. The Chargers and the Chiefs have stood largely by their successful 2018 rosters, but there are plugs to fill on both teams. Earlier this week, word began to sneak out that the Chiefs and the Seahawks were in talks to deal DE Frank Clark to another team.According to Ian Rappoport Youth Emeke Egbule Jersey , the three top teams were the Jets, the Chiefs, and the Colts. Today, the direction of the trade was narrowed to the Chiefs alone.Well, it wasn’t long AT ALL before the concrete details were hammered out.The Seahawks walk away with an extra 1st round this year and a 2nd next year, all while avoiding a player that they didn’t really want to pay.On Monday, NFL.com summarized Clark’s financial impact:The numbers aren’t released yet, but it is clear that the Chiefs wanted an impact player.Clark is a talented pass rusher coming off his best season, with a career-high 13 sacks. It is somewhat surprising to see the Chiefs make this move, as they are still deep in licking their wounds over Hunt and Hill issues. For Clark Emeke Egbule Jersey Color Rush , a history of domestic violence issues stemming from his college days will surely be a point of focus.In all, a surprising move for the Chiefs, due to the financial impact and the very poor optics this offers the franchise. The on-field results, however, are yet to be written.FLASH UPDATE:Money details announced!Holy moly cannoli, the Chiefs apparently outbid themselves several times to make this deal happen! At $63.5 million guaranteed, this trade no longer affects just 2019/2020 trade equity, but it will surely impact the Chiefs’ ability to sign and retain players by the end of the year.-Jason “C’mon guys. Do you even background check?” Michaels
